Hi all, I am helping a friend with a SWG w/plaster pool, approx 15K gallons. He is going to convert from a service to do it yourself via TFP method with my help.
I have a non-SWG pool and in my research I believe a SWG (in proper condition) should be able to product enough chlorine so that supplement chlorine isn't needed. His current service uses 2 gallons a week of chlorine, I'm thinking that service isn't properly tuning his SWG. Is some additional chlorine usual? I know it depends on other factors like sun exposure, CYA, etc., but I'm just wondering if under proper settings should a SWG handle the chlorine required.
