After the SLAM

[wille]

Once I SLAM the pool and the chlorine level comes back within range, is there is a suggestion as to what percentage to set the SWG?

Unfortunately the answer is “it depends”. The correct percentage depends on the size of the salt cell, the size of your pool, your pump run time and the chlorine demand of your pool. Without any of those details there’s no way to determine that number.

Trial and Error, as Brett says. I'd start out at 20% and test the next day. If its too low, go up again, and so on. Till you find it holding the FC level you seek.
Everything we do is based on test results. Let your testing be your guide.

I'd go the other direction.. start high and reduce slowly. I've erred on the low side before and then ended up playing catch-up...

My thought process was that the pool is already high on FC from the SLAM. I pictured the FC dropping slowly.

Otherwise If someone were just cranking up their SWG I would have said just what you did.
