First winter(ish) with SWG

[djdonte]

Hey all long time no post, which is a good thing as I’ve had zero problems since going salt. This is my first winter with it.

It’s Houston, so right now the temps are all over the place but I definitely don’t have the chlorine demand from the UV and heat that I used to. I stared getting FC readings of 25 so I turned the cell down to 75 percent.. a week later 18FC. Turned it down to 50% and still at 15FC. I don’t mind the higher FC but also don’t want to use my SWG more than I need to. Should I just leave it at 25 percent and let it ride? Wondering what people in similar climates are doing.

I had my RJ-45 down to 5-10% for the past 3 weeks or so. Barely need any FC production at all. Once our weather settles and become more consistent (cold), we'll probably end up turning it off completely and just adding chlorine manually from Dec - Feb.

D,

I have a 17k pool and am currently running at 25%.. I suggest that you turn your cell down to 10 or 15% and see where your FC goes.

Thanks,
