While I'm here, another newbie to SWCG question regarding the Autochlor. It is supposed to have a socket outlet, 240v, to run the pump so you can't have a SWGC on pump off scenario (I guess) . My unit came with a fancy cover over a blanking plate :( so I'll need to wire up my own. I suppose...

Hi Costas, Sorry about the delay, been swimming... and hiding from the CEO... Whilst I agree with the idea of putting the acid in last in theory, I read elswhere on TFP ( can't remember exact posts) that acid before the cells is beneficial because it keeps the plates clean, and aren't they...

Sorry about the long delay in responding, the chief executive around here (wife) keeps on slotting new items into the ' to do ' list above the SWCG installation project... resistance is futile... Anyway I have solved the Autochlor cell orientation problem by taking a cell to bits and...

Thanks for replies. I have solved the sulphuric/muriatic acid problem, the Italian pump manufacturer has got a retro fit viton tube and rollers which is good for Hcl, they seem to keep it a secret, but this is Italy... Also a shout out for Stenner Tech Support, they jumped on my request...

Many thanks for your replies. I think I'm guilty of using 'Stenner Pump' as a generic to describe the dosing pump I have purchased. I wish I had bought a genuine Stenner and will try and return the pump I have and get one. The pump I bought, model no. MP1S-PH 1.0, comes from a large and very...

Hi everybody, my massive Autochlor SWCG has just arrived from Australia as has a Stenner pump for acid injection from a local, Italian supplier (Dosita). Taking the precaution to read the instructions first... but not before purchase,(Duh) I note that the acid pump is only suitable for Sulphuric...

I have just realized that I asked much the same question exactly a year ago and got some good answers, duh! The beverages must be getting to me ... Anybody have any experience of Autochlor before I jump in with the big 92 unit?

Thanks for your interest, it looks like the only fairly big swcg's available here are made by the Australian company Autochlor. They make a range that produce up to 92 g/hour, the RP 92. Plugging my numbers into their calculator their recommendation is from the 50g/hour running 12 hours a day to...

I am just about to go the SWCG route here in Italy and would very much like to hear more 'real life' experiences of using the various brands. Hayward and Pentair are available at high prices, Zodiac is more commonly available. Any help would be much appreciated, Cheers Zed

Thanks for speedy and useful response, all I have to do now is save up the 3000 euro for the unit and try to convince my wife that it's part of our neighbour's therapy and not just anew toy...

Hi Everybody, Just opened my pool here in central Italy, all good so far but I'm seriously thinking of going over to the 'salty side', not just because of the huge pile of empty bleach jugs but because the pool is at our holiday home and I'm not there the whole time. Our neighbour and local...
