Chlorine or SWG

[BDY]

For example I run my pump 24/7, have a IC40 for a 10k gallon pool and was having to run 30% salt cell at the peak of Houston summer even with 70+ CYA. For a 22k pool and an IC40 you’d be running 24/7 at 60% cell or 15 hours at 100%. Roughly….

I'm targeting 60 which I should be able to achieve tomorrow.

What's the TA and CH of your fill water? There's no rush to get your TA down. It will come down with pH management MA additions.

Would the IC60 be required for 22K gal in Texas?

IC60 would be desired. You get a lot more lifetime FC production with a small price difference compared to the IC40. Is the SWCG transformer built into your EasyTouch?

I ran tests on water direct from the fill line:
TA 180
CH 120

Is the SWCG transformer built into your EasyTouch?

I’m not sure, but I would like to find out. I see the LED hole for the IntelliChlor in the low voltage panel, but it’s empty. What do I look for to verify, and can I add it if missing?

Edit: Some searching seems to indicate there is a replacement transformer, so I suspect I would be able to add it to the Easy Touch without having to purchase the power center. My Easy Touch is ~12 years old at this point. Are these all backwards compatible?

N,

Not quite... There is a lot more to it that just a transformer.. You would need.

Transformer
Circuit breaker
Surge card (power supply)
Cable from surge card to bottom of EasyTouch
Cables from surge card to circuit breaker
RS-485 Cable from EasyTouch's main card to the surge card.

I suspect it would cost less to just buy the external Power Center.

Thanks,

TA 180
CH 120

During the summer when you're using lots of fill water you'll always be combating high TA/pH. Expect to use several gallons of MA every month.

Makes sense. Thank you!

I'm curious. What's the story on the dog?

It used to be one of the first images returned when doing an image search for "derpy corgi". For some reason it just stuck... I have a soft spot for corgis. We have two, they're 4 and 5 years old.

That dog is not right...
