So, I decided to finally pull the trigger on a SWG system and it's going in early next week. I've been playing around with the numbers on the pool calculator thing, and I'm slightly concerned with regards to the CSI...
Here are my numbers using Trichlor...
pH - 7.6-7.8
TA - 80
CH - 270
CYA - 60
Borates - 0
Water temp - low 60s
CSI - .05-.24 (depending on pH)
When I add salt to the mix, it throws the CSI off, and if pH drops at all, it sends the CSI close to .60.
I guess what I'm asking is for those of you who run your pool year round and use a SWG, what numbers do you shoot for to keep things balanced? During the summer things should be more in line, but the cold water is magnifying the problem.
