I am considering adding a SWG to our 26K gallon Vinyl liner pool in NJ. I grabbed 6 containers of chlorine from the pool store before NJ shut non essential businesses with intentions of opening beginning of April, depending upon weather. My current setup is dosing liquid 12.5% hypo direct from 2.5 gallon containers via a stenner peristaltic pump. This has worked well in the past.
I have some concerns about the SWG and corrosion of the pool walls behind the liner, handrails, and concrete surfaces. Are these concerns warranted? I know there are a few liner holes just above the water line, nothing big, so that would be my concern about wall corrosion as I am sure the walls are galvanized.
An additional issue would be the need to add acid to the pool as it seems SWG increase acid demand. I have been unable to source 20 baume Muriatic acid last year and would need to settle for 10 baume, essentially doubling my acid cost.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated!
