Are you SURE about your cost to run the pump 24/7? Even if your electricity cost is $0.10/kWh. a month is 24x30=720 Hours; Assume your pump is 1KW (Mine is over 3 KW) it uses at LEAST 720KW/month, that's $72/month if your pump is 100% efficient. HOW MUCH IS YOUR ELECTRICITY?

Calculate the electricity cost first before switching to SW. In California, the cost of running the pump for a long enough time to generate the chlorine level required (~8 hours) would cost me about $16/day so I am sticking to using about 1 gallon of liquid chlorine every 2 days for my >30,000...

FIRST, figure out how long you have to run the pool pump(s) and the cost of the electricity to run the pumps. My cost to run the pool circulation and Polaris cleaner is around $1.50/Hr in California so that may be your dominate cost for chlorination. 12 hours can run $18/day or $540/month just...

Re: scale buildup in cells of intellichlor IC40, needs frequent acid wash Sounds good, thanks for the information.

Re: scale buildup in cells of intellichlor IC40, needs frequent acid wash OK, the equipment is reliable but how much power is used by the salt generating system during it's operation. My electric power is $0.35/KWh so if it takes 150W to run for 6 hours a day, that is a cost of $0.32 a day...

How long doe a SWG cell last. I assume it is supposed to be catalytic only but what is the practical life for a cell? I heard of many people going to salt system/SWG only to go back once they find out the expense of a replacement cell.
