RJ 45 installed

[MA5177]

Got my RJ 45 installed and working today, it’s generating chlorine just fine at 60 deg water.

It’s 3x oversized so I am going to start off at 10% since I am running the pump 17 hours a day at 1500 rpm and see where that takes me

what are the thoughts on the cell, hump up or down, as the circupool manual shows both ways, would not hump down help keep the air bubbles from forming and keep the plates well submerged?

I've run mine both up and down, as long as the plates are covered with water it seems to work equally well either way.

It looks like that would yield u about 1.4ppm of fc - which may be enough to maintain in cold, less sunny conditions but it will definitely need to be monitored & increased as the season progresses in sunny hot Phoenix.
Great job on getting it in!

My pool is 12,500 gallons, this is a 45k gallon. I’m sure I am good for now , as the weather warms up I will be raising it as needed thanks

hump up or down

I installed mine (RJ60) "up" initially, but found that a bubble formed when my pump ran at low speed, so I turned it over and the problem went away.

Correct, It's recommended to install hump down for slow vs pump settings.

At 1500 rpm mine works fine upright

I have a single speed pump and should not have a bubble issue, but the tinkering side of me says its seems much better to just run it with the dip, so down it stays.

They recommended hump down for very low RPM , I can spin it over but it will be against the pipe below it. It’s doing just fine at 1500 rpm no bubbles and I can see the “clouds” when it’s generating this way.

The main issue for flipping the hump is to be sure all the plates are submerged completely otherwise damage occurs which can be likely in a low rpm setting.
