Super CL mode on CircuPool RJ is not designed the best way

[Diver]

It's supposed to boost the CL generation for 24 hours or until the power is removed. It should've been designed to retain the 24 hour time frame with the power removed.

Here is how I saw me using it originally. Let's say at 50% output and no pool use SWG achieves equilibrium and my FC stays around the same value. At 4pm at the end of the day me and my wife decide to go swimming. Since there will be heavier load for CL due to people being in the pool, solar cover removed, etc, I boost the CL production by hitting Super CL mode at 4pm. I would produce extra CL for 24 hours accommodating for that heavier load, and switch back to 50% next day at 4pm hopefully getting back to the normal level.

Instead if resets at 6pm when the pump shuts off and it starts of at 50% next day in the morning. Instead of running at 100% from 10am till 4pm.

I guess the idea to have this is for shocking the pool when the pump is running continuously and not just bump the level to accommodate for heavier use. Am I the only one who tried to use the mode for this purpose?

I have not contemplated, nor have I used that mode of super chlorinate.

I do the same as you. RJ at 15% while pool is covered. When we swim, I turn it up to 40%. When we are done and pool is covered, I turn it back to 15%. Seems to work for me.

You might try this technique, may be enough for you...

Why does the pump shutoff at 6pm? Any reason to not run low speed 24x7? Can you set it so that it goes off at midnight instead of 6? That would let it run longer.

i can't run on slow speed because i have solar panels.

The nice part about the RJ series is its 5% incremental adjustability. I think you're over thinking how you use it.if you have the CYA dialed in there shouldn't be a reason to control so closely. Find a setting that will be the same outcome after the 24 hour period with the pool use included and then leave it alone. After several days check the FC and make further adjustments. With proper CYA there's lots of leeway.

it is dialed in, but my pool is mostly idle with solar cover on. so FC loss is minimal and it sits on rather low setting of the SWG all the time. and when the pool is used, it will burn off an extra 2ppms of FC from the base line. bumping FC to get back to base using SL mode for 24 hours would've been nice.

24 hours on is 14 FC for you. You'd only need about 3.5 hours of runtime to bump it 2FC. You'd then have to go shut superchlorinate off which would add the step you're trying to save. At that point, running it today a little higher will raise the FC where you want it for tomorrow, then resume your normal setting after.

i want the generator to retain the 24 hour run setting in the CMOS memory between power cycles. but since my pump runs 8 hours out 24, it won't be 24 run for me or 14FC for me. if normal run gives me 3 ppm per day, then doubling it would give me a boost of 3ppm per incident.
