This year I am converting my pool to a saltwater pool! I have a smaller pool, it's the Summerwaves Elite 14'x42" metal frame pool.
I purchased a new Sand Filter (Summerwaves 10" sand filter) and the Summerwaves Salt Water System.
My pool is around 3,500 gallons so following the directions I added around 88lbs of salt. Now I'm letting it dissolve today and tonight before turning on the system (although is it possible to turn it on sooner?)
I was looking at the Pool Math app and under the pool settings it wants to know the 24hr SWG Chlorine Output. How do I calculate this? I don't see it anywhere in the manual.
Also, according to the manual, the auto mode has a timer for 10 hours but if I turn it to boost it will run for 6 hours. Is it okay to always run it on boost mode? I ask because my sand pump should turnover my pool once every 3 hours and I was going to run it for 6 hours per day. This would work perfectly with the SWG on boost mode.
My last question for now is should I rely on the SWG to tell me when the salt is low (it has an indicator) or do I need a test?
Thanks in advance!
