Rj60 plus generator staring up -what settings ?

[Jsf721]

Pump is running 9am-6pm

What setting should I start on ?
Thanks

Try 60%. That will give you 2.2FC in 9 hours of run-time. Might be a bit too much, but easier to lower output % than not add enough and get algae...
You may find, with that big of a pool and summer UV, that you will need to run your pump longer. It may be worth getting a 2-speed or VSP so you can run low RPM and make chlorine all day, and reduce your electrical expense.

Thanks I’ll start there and see how it goes. I’m going to have to read up on the vs pumps. My neighbor had one and pulled it out not sure why. Perhaps user error or bad unit.

I was losing 1ppm a day in full sun but then Saturday was 84, Sunday was plenty warm too and I'm still trying to figure out if it mattered or not.

@Jsf721 you are likely losing between 1 and 2 per day about now. 30% will give you about 1, 60% will give you 2. I recommended 60%, just to see what happens. Being on the high end is better than being on the low end. Give'r a test ride and let us know how it goes.

+1. All day. Any day. Make a bit too much and never ever ever too little.

My Cya is 90 -do you think 60% is still the right number.

1. Your Pool Math logs are two years old. Start logging test results and addition, including SWG.
2. Don't confuse FC level with FC consumption.
   1. FC level should be maintained for your CYA. Always follow this...Link-->FC/CYA Levels
   2. FC Consumption is the amount of FC CONSUMED during the day. Your consumption is likely 1-2 per day right now. It will go up in summer. Set your SWG %output/runtime for your consumption.
   3. If your FC level is low, add some liquid chlorine, or boost your % output/pump runtime to raise your FC, then set the output%/runtime to match your consumption and maintain target level.
3. A higher CYA # will reduce your consumption. It will also raise the FC level that you need to maintain.

Get your FC to the top of the FC level recommendation, then change the % output/pump runtime to maintain the FC at that level.
