PH and acid/base demand

[ottawaguy]

Hi, I'm relatively new to testing, only had my test kit for just over a month or so. I’m trying to figure out my SWG 24 hour output to figure out what percentage I should run it at and what to do with my pump. I normally leave my Vs running at low speed 1400 all the time and then it runs at high speed (3000) for 1 hour a day.

I have the Hayward low salt SWG and I can’t seem to find the chlorine output, I guess I need to figure that out before looking at how to tweak my pump settings.

can I calculate the SWG output if Hayward doesn’t publish it?

thanks

Check the amps while running. Multiply by 0.18 to get the total output (lbs chlorine gas) per day.

Check the amps while running. Multiply by 0.18 to get the total output (lbs chlorine gas) per day.

So I flick on super chlorinate (just to force it to run), it says the Amps are 3.x or so, so that's about 0.5 lbs of chlorine per day. Is using super chlorinate to force it to go a valid way to test the output?

Thanks

As long as it's running.
