    Getting quote for Intex swg repair

    I wish I had better news... There is no one that will repair an Intex anything as they are throw away parts.. Almost all Intex SWG last just over 1 to 2 years if your lucky... Some have fixed them on there own. :) Here is one of them > ECO8110 SWG code 91 bypass

    Call me paranoid: do I have to worry about hydrogen build up under the solar cover?

    My SWG has been running under my cover for the last month and the past 5 years during spring and fall.. Nothing to worry about :)

    Small SWG

    The intex was the cheapest out there but they only last a couple years.. If you replaced it every 2 years it would cost the same as the expensive ones after the 3rd one but only get you about 6 years.. The more expensive ones last way longer.. There is no difference between an in ground and...

    How long will cell last?

    My SJ 45 lasted about 6 or 7 years, I had to run my pump longer to keep the same FC level.. When your FC starts dropping and you have to run longer is your answer.. :)

    IC60 Install

    Both will work.. You want to flip the blue to the other side.. You want the IC60 on the side with the water rising now going down... You really want the SWG the last thing but I do not think it will mess with the booster pump, if you think it will mess with the booster pump use the other...

    Ozone + SWG

    I would tell you to go even bigger.. For 200 or 400 more you can get the RJ 45 or the RJ60... The RJ 60 can give you 3 times the chlorine for 400 dollars more... You would just run it lower and it will last longer... I jus went with the RJ 60 on my 15k pool and I run it 4 hours at 20% right...

    You can hook it up but I would not start it up till the water is 60 degrees or so.. Most SWG will start working around 60 degrees.. :)

    Is this a good salt?

    Do I need to shelter the panel? SWG Install questions.

    I would use the vertical install kit and go up after your pipe comes out of the filter.. Put the flow switch right of the outlet.. "your supposed to put the flow switch after a 12 inch straight section but I do not and it works fine" :) This way with the install kit This way without the...

    Help me hook up my Edge40, please.

    Help me hook up my Edge40, please.

    It looks like there are only 8 power levels, not sure why they did not go with 10 power levels of 10% each.. Directly connect SWG to pump power will run the SWG 24/7.. The problem with that is you will have to run the pump 24/7 also.. You never want the SWG to only use the flow switch as on...

    Help me hook up my Edge40, please.

    The Circupool Edge, From the manual > The Control Module uses a switch-mode power supply designed to automatically accept either 120VAC or 220VAC.. So I would wire it 240v from the lower rpm aux 1 side, it sucks that it will only work at 1725 rpm as I run mine as low as 900 rpm.. They do not...

    Help me hook up my Edge40, please.

    Your pump is wired 220 always on.. You want to connect your SWG to a timer so it can turn on and off when you want.. If you connect it to the pump it will be on 24/7... It looks like you have a pressure side pump with a timer?? You would basically need the same exact setup for the SWG.. :)

    Run SWCG at 100%

    You want to run your pump long enough to keep the correct amount of chlorine in the pool.. It may be 4 hours or 8 hours... set it at 6 hours and see if it keeps FC at if it does not run longer and if it does run shorter :)

    SWG conversion in the Houston area

    Get yourself a Circupool 45k to 60k SWG, all you need to do is turn power on and off.. The goldline should be able to do that... You can also connect the SWG power directly to the power on your single speed pump... If you are staying with single speed I would get the RJ60 so you do not need...

    It can but I run mine a lot, probably more than almost everyone here and I keep my numbers above 7 at all times.. Most if they take FC to 7 they let it drop back to 5 or 6 FC.. I d o not, I keep it above 7... Running this way allows me the freedom to travel for my job for a month and I never...

    Do I need to shelter the panel? SWG Install questions.

    I have 15k gallons and I went with the RJ60.. At 20% the price and 50% more chlorine output it is the best deal going.. Also you will not have to run your pump as long and it will put less strain on the SWG running lower letting the SWG last for more years... :) If the RJ45 with the upgrade...

    RJ60 arrives today!

    I would recommend a change to VS pump also.. The IC60 and just about all Pentair is great, my first pump and filter were Pentair.. I went to a V Green pump when I changed my motor for VS and I went Circupool for the DIY warranty of 7 years... The RJ60 is cheaper than the IC60 and outputs more...

    Recommendations SWG in Australia

    I would recommend CYA at 80 and FC at 7.. No ORP and simple timers work the best.. You can easily test a high FC SWG pool every 2 weeks and be just fine... That is the main reason I went SWG.. I can leave for a month and I know for a fact it will be just fine... :)

    Opening AND transitioning to SWG

    And change your CYA to recommended levels for SWG.. You can easily take your FC to SLAM levels if you want, I did when I opened.. :)
