Having to crank up my salt cell...a little TOO much?

[umpalumpajay]

Good tips thanks. I'm holding solid at 70%, but I'm slowly upping the CYA with dichlor after large parties as I have a bunch left over from before I found this site. I think I'm on th e right track. Thanks!

If I want to boost my chlorine level before or after a large group swim, I use plain old bleach. You're going to crank your CYA up too high if not careful with that dichlor.

Take a water sample right out of one of the return jets while the swg is generating, then test the fc. this to me is a better way to see how much fc is being made..

I run my SWG for 8 hours a day at 60%. I was running at 50% and it stopped keeping the FC up with the increase in heat. I run short bursts - 7:30 - 9:30am , 12:30 - 4:30pm and 7:30 -9:30pm. I have started supplementing with bleach after a big swim. To me that's easier than messing with the SWG again . I just add a 1/2 gallon of bleach. When I forget, I seem to have trouble getting the FC back up to a good level.
