Hi everybody, my massive Autochlor SWCG has just arrived from Australia as has a Stenner pump for acid injection from a local, Italian supplier (Dosita). Taking the precaution to read the instructions first... but not before purchase,(Duh) I note that the acid pump is only suitable for Sulphuric acid and specifically rules out Hydrochloric (Muriatic) acid , which is my brew of choice and many years use. My local pool supplier sells 20 litre jugs of "Ph minus" which is 15% Sulphuric acid. Am I likely to encounter any chemistry, testing or equipment problems switching to sulphuric acid?
Also the cells of the SWCG are plastered with warnings about gas traps and the instructions show one diagram with the gas sensor at the top of the cell and another with a dual, parallel set up , which I need, with the sensor at the side of the cell. The configuration of the exits to the cells make it very difficult to plumb in with the sensor at the top. Can anybody comment or perhaps point me in the direction of how to correctly plumb in a parallel cell set up. It may be important to note that my equipment pad is below pool water level, so the cells will also be below water level.
I think I'll go for a swim, it's hot here...
Thanks
Zed
