My hot tub has the unions JamesW is showing on the heater. They work just fine. Came with them from the factory.

I can taste it. Some days it is hardly noticeable, others it is more prominent. Who can explain that? Is the due to recent acid addition?

Ha! You said SPA. If it is heated all the time, I guess it would not be a problem.

The SWG stops working at around 55 degrees and you have to chlorinate by other means. I'm sure one of the experts will expand on that and with the exact temp. I believe it is in the SWG manual. I had a house with SWG many years ago and poured bleach in every winter. I now have a new pool...

That's why I said "I guess" I did not know without switching between GPM and RPM at my equipment to see and added can someone do the math. Anyhow the point of my post was to point out they should have no problem reducing their run time to reduce SWG output to correct their issue. They have...

Thanks mknauss. Thats good to know. I'm actually trying to figure that out as I have a paid for electric solar system and can add three more panels to it without changing anything. Trying to figure what three panels would cost and generate to try and offset the pool. I was at near zero...

Wish I had your electric rates. I would run longer too if possible. I have to play with run times to be nice on the wallet and have a clean and clear pool. Running my pump 24/7 would probably be at least an extra $500 a month. Anyway I was thinking it would be safe to reduce their run time to...

For example: I do not use RPM, I use flow and run mine for 10 hours at 45 GPM. I run a little high because I'm pushing water through some solar panels. I my pool stays clear with Chlorine at 5 PPM with my CYA at 60 PPM.

With out actually messing with my pump to get some readouts I would guess at 1650 RPM you are around 38 gallons per minute (Someone jump in if you can to the math on this). So at 38 gallons a minute it would take 6 hours to completely run all the water in the pool through the filter and back...

Is there a reason you run the pool for so long? You really need to only run it long enough to turn the water volume over one time, unless you have another purpose for running that long. Shorter run time if you can get away with it will obviously equal less chlorine production.
