    New to SWG- Question regarding balancing

    Hi all! We recently installed a SWG system for our pool, and we just opened the pool today. I know we need to balance everything first and then add some liquid chlorine before we add the salt and get the SWG going. At opening these were my levels: FC- 0 PH- 6.8 TA- 40 CYA- 30 I have sodium...

    Krystal Clear SWG CYA Says 30, Pool School says at least 60?

    Hi! Anyone have an Intex Krystal Clear SWG? Are you following the manufacturer CYA levels or pool school? Why would there be a difference in recommendations between the two?

    wiring options for SWG

    Hello everyone, I am going to be purchasing a new SWG this season and am trying to plan how I am going to wire this thing up. I currently have a single speed pool pump(120v) running off a timer. I understand that the preferred way to wire the SWG is to have a 2nd wiring run off the timer to...

    Please help determine whether I have the necessary equipment to install a SWG.

    I've read through quite a few posts posts on this topic, but still cannot definitively determine what is or isn't in my EasyTouch box. I would like to convert my pool to salt by installing an IC60. I wasn't sure that I wanted salt water when the pool was under construction, but I instructed the...

    Minimum Pump Gph for SWG Systems

    I'm brainstorming the idea of a SWG for a small steel-framed, vinyl liner 1718gal pool that is annoying to maintain chlorine daily. In an old post, I saw a someone mention to oversize SWG 2-3x the capacity of your pool, i'm presuming so that you can generally maintain your FC at a lower SWG...

    Salt water and wasps??

    I just converted to an and opened my salt water pool. Yellow jackets are a problem here. Last year, in my chlorine pool, I would have to manually kill yellow jackets in the pool. On the first full day of SWG, 3 yellow jackets were dead on their own? Is it a salt intake kill or a surface...

    Opening AND transitioning to SWG

    HI! I'm opening my pool right now. Water is clear after removing my winter cover! Yay! Okay. Last year, it was a liquid chlorine pool. This year, I'm currently installing an SWG. Do I need to shock the pool first before adding my salt and turning on the SWG? Or, could I add the salt, set my...

    What’s the benefit of having an automated system with adding a SWG and robot cleaner?

    Hi, we have a newly acquired pool and planning to DIY the maintenance and add SWG, probably Pentair IC60 since the existing equipment is all Pentair. My question is what value does the automated system add versus syncing up the pool timer and SWG timer? The pool doesn’t get that dirty but...

    Water Flow LED on, but flow switch is working and flow is good

    The Water Flow LED on my Edge-40 comes on about 10 seconds after switching on the SWG. I've tested the flow switch with a multimeter and it is working fine (~zero ohms between the two pins when the pump is on, open circuit when pump is off). It has been working fine for a about a year and a...

    Upgrading from Pentair ic-40 to ic-60

    Hayward SwimPure Plus Reading Zero Salt

    I've read some other threads about this, but I'm not seeing an answer. Our Hayward SwimPure Plus began reading salt levels of only 400, then 200, then zero. Manually checking the salt it is around 3400. We checked the SWG which is 6 months old and it definitely needed cleaning. It is now all...

    26K pool - is 60k SWG too big

    Hi everyone, I've decided on getting a CircuPool RJ-60 PLUS Salt Chlorine Generator after much research on this site and other places. However, before I buy, do you think 60k SWG is overkill for a 26k pool? Should I consider the 40k SWG? I have a single speed pump, not variable speed, so I'm...
