    Need some help with new SWG setup

    We took the plunge and converted to a SWG a month or so ago. My CYA had been fairly low (it always go down during the winter months, maybe lots of rain or something?) but I just got some stabilizer and I've gotten it up to 60. I am still in the process of raising and will shoot for 80 given...

    Hayward Low Salt System

    I have been dumping jugs of liquid chlorine into my pool for about 3 years now. I was warned away from a SWCG system by my poolbuilder, who said it would damage my moss rock waterfall.

    15 Jugs of Chlorine, and what do you get?

    You get a hump in your back, sucka. I made the switch to using liquid chlorine late last year. My pool is just over a year old. I've read here that most people on this forum (seems like far greater than 50%) use SWCG for chlorine generation. While I've been thrilled with the results of...
