I have a 38,000 gallon pool and flip/flopped between wheter I should go with a stenner system or a SWG. The last few years I just manuually dosed with chlorine, but its tough going away for any length of time. I was leaning toward a Stenner setup just because the pool was so perfect with just bleach, but that still involved lugging bottles of bleach back and forth and constant water testing.
While most people recommend oversizing their SWG system, after a lot of research I felt that wasnt an option for me because I really wanted to stay with Hayward. So IU figured I may have to manually dose once a week or something, but would be able to leavve the pool for sveral days at a time.
The AQR-15 has exceeded my expectations. I installed it before starting the pool for the season, and after about a week of getting the chemistry and salt levels perfect I put it on.....
I set the SWG at about 90 to start with and 3 weeks later I have it dialed in at around 50%, with a run time of 8 hours and FC is rock solid at 5%. I need to up the CYA up a little to have it in the range recommened by TFP as it is currently at around 40 ppm. After that I may be able to cut it down below 50%.
Being on the east coast and having a rather mild summer so far has probably helped, but thus far this is the best thing I have done to the pool. I can leave it for weeks at a time with no worries.....

Congratulations and great decision.
