Before people say "do the 60", There's a substantial discount on the 45 (880) vs the 1400 for the 60. I also have a variable speed pump that runs 24/7 (usually on very low flow except for 3 hours where it's higher to get the booster pump running for the polaris, this is daily.
Normally the pump is at 750 rpm and then 1700 for the booster pump. It can go up well past 2500 (intelliflo variable speed). I understand that the swg requires a certain amount of flow to operate (which may require me to setup a 4 time a day 1 hour schedule to run at an adequate flow for the chlorinator). My question is would the 45 do for a 30k gallon pool running theoretically 4 times a day (dramatic scenario but that's probably the worst case, most likely the flow will be enough to get the clorinator to run nearly 24/7 or as much as needed).
My general worry is that I would have to run the pool pump at 1500+ rpm 24/7 to get the chlorinator to work (only reason I care is that less rpm, less to the electrical bill).
I might be over analyzing this. My intention is the one run where the swg will go will have a flow measurer and backflow stop section, a puck dispenser (for emergency puck usage, and also to connect my stenner pump that will be adding muriatic acid to the pool daily to both drop the PH, as well as clean the swg (my guestimate is an ounce a day will do it) a vertical pipe section for the swg (its sold on circu's website for 30 bucks).
My cost for the whole deal would be around 1k total (the rj45 plus, the extra pipes, the 50 to 100 lbs of salt, the anode. I have the rest.
I currently spend about 60 dollars on chlorine a month (3 dollar a gallon clorine, I run through about 20 gallons monthly (higher because of summer)).
