Just found this forum a few days ago and can't seem to get any work done any more!
I have a 30K in-ground plaster pool. I live in Austin, Texas where we have seen 104+ for the last 5 days straight. I am not able to keep enough chlorine in the pool. It's a constant battle. I am looking for an automated system.
Here are my specs:
30,000 gallon
Titan 48 sq ft DE filter
Hayward 1.5 HP single speed pump
Direct sun on over 70% of the pool all day
current water temp is 89
PH 7.4
I have a Pentair in-line tablet chlorinator, the valve is open to max setting of 5 and the feed tube is "top-feed". It uses about 4-5 tablets per week. I have also been putting 1-2 3" tablets in both skimmers.
In spite of that, Chlorine is .7 unless I am constantly shocking or adding liquid 6% clorox.
The local pool store tells me that the heat is just winning the battle.
I have considered the Liquidator but am starting to think that what I really want is a SWG.
There are a lot to choose from. What brand is preferred these days?
I will definitely be inclined to go overkill and get the highest capacity since I can't seem to keep up with my pool.
All input is greatly appreciated and please let me know if you need more details about my situation.
-Respectfully,
