New 16x32 inground Vinal liner pool.

So I have been a member here for quite some time. Started years ago, with an above ground pool and used BBB method with liquid chlorine to maintain. I now have a SWG and feel like I am starting over. I bought a new taylor k-2006 / salt and am trying to reeducate myself. Things I do not understand is when people mention running at certain percentages with my SWG. I have a Solaxx CLG540A110v-020 40000 gallon swg shown by the attached image. How would I determine percentages based on the image below? I am working to get my CYA up to 60 based on what I have read here and what is actually recommended on the Solaxx.

Welcome (officially) to TFP! In your case, the module appears to have a simple up & down button w/ indicator. So I would increase it to about halfway which should estimate about 50% output. Then adjust it from there as needed based on pump run time.

A couple more links in case you need them.

Water Balance for SWGs

Saltwater pools are becoming more and more popular. We discuss How salt generators work and water balance tips for SWGs to run them.

Determine Pump Run Time

To figure out how many hours you need to run your pump, you need to know how fast your pump works. You can find this here.

Thanks for the quick response. It seems to be a bit oversized for the size inground pool I have. It is designed for a 40k and I have around 25k. My salt ppm is within range it just hasn't show low salt since it was installed, and the contractor put about 9 bags of salt in it. My FC is also within range. I need to check total alkalinity. I wanted a variable speed pump, but they recommended not going that route and I have also read differing opinions on here.

I don't understand that. VSPs are becoming the norm nowadays. Many options to chose from and flexible operating speeds. Let us know if you have any other questions.
