This is the first winter with our newly built pool. I have the Hayward system in my sig and everything has been fine.
However, now that the temps in Arizona have cooled, my system is telling me the cell is turned off due to low temperature. The water temp is in the 40s and low 50s, depending on the time of day.
My question is, how does everyone else deal with chlorinating their pool in the winter when it's too cold for the salt cell? Do I need to add liquid chlorine or is the water too cold for algae to grow?
I tested my chlorine and I was still at about 4.5 ppm, but wanted to know how everyone else handles keeping their pool open during the winter with a SWCG. My pool doesn't get much sun during the day due to the house blocking the sun for most of the pool. So I don't think I am losing much due to UV exposure.
Thanks,
Bryan
