Complete newbie to owning a saltwater pool and maintaining

[delandalicata]

Hi. I’m so excited I found out about TFP! I ordered the pro salt kit and speedstir.
Please bear with me. I just installed a new Hayward W3T-CELL-15. The pool equipment was programmed by the previous owner of my house. I have a 25,000 gallon pool and spa. It’s a dark colored cement/plaster.
This is probably the best place to start ; The chlorinator is set to 80%. My filter and cleaner are on 8 hours a day. I live in Texas so it’s hot!
what should the salt cell be programmed to? How many hours a day? It says super chlorinator is off?
If I have the equipment programmed correctly I can go from there

d,

What type of pump do you have?? A single speed, two speed, or Variable speed pump??? It will make a difference in our answer.

Thanks,

when you get a chance, consider adding the description of your setup to your Signature, which will aid the experts to quickly tailor responses to your pool and equipment, and you won't need to repeat it in future posts. The type of pump is critical to know to help set up a SWCG.
