New SWG?

[Heidiren]

I am in the process of a long SLAM to get rid of algae so I have my SWG turned off right now. I have a Hayward T-15 now but after reading it seems that I need something bigger for my pool. What do you recommend? Circupool RJ 60 Plus?
Thanks!

Your pool is large for a residential pool. The RJ60 plus is the highest rated among residential salt water generators. Here is a good comparison chart : SWG comparison

Forgetting you are currently fighting algae...... are you finding it hard to achieve your FC level? What percentage do you have to set your controller to do so?

I am new to all of this- so I never tested or paid attention to it at all except to replace the cell. . The pool is 10 years old and I am guessing it was never at an ideal FC level because algae was an every year occurrence. I’m so happy I found this forum- it is empowering feel like you can take control of the pool. I’m pretty sure the current cell is at the end of its life so that’s why I’m thinking of upgrading the whole thing.

The question was leading toward keeping existing equipment until a replacement was necessary. If the cell is close to the end of its life, sure, buy one that can effortlessly keep up with demand by itself. If your current one is working as designed, and you want to hold off on the purchase, you may supplement pool with a bit of liquid chlorine along with your SWG.

Good thing to think about. After the SLAM I will see if it can keep up then go from there. Thanks!
