SWG High Flow Rate Limit?

[boergler]

I am currently converting from Clorox to a Circupool RJ+ SWG system. I have seen on the Pentair SWGs that there is a maximum flowrate through their cell, but I don't find anything on maximum flowrate of a Circupool.

Does anyone know if there is a maximum flowrate for a Circupool RJ45+ cell?

Welcome to the forum!
I suggest calling or emailing them. I would suggest keeping the flow rate as low as possible to reduce erosion wear of the metal plating.
Can you fill out your signature? The information helps us help you.
I suggest you read ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry.

Is there some reason that you need an abnormally high amount of flow?

What flow rate are you planning for?

The IntelliChlor® SCG is designed to operate with water flow rates from 25 +/- 5 gallons per minute (gpm) up to 105 gpm.

Refer to the pipe manufacturer specifications for recommended maximum flow rate.

For flow rates over 80 gpm you must use a bypass loop (as shown below) for best chlorine production.

Installations with flow rates over 80 gpm include those that have in-floor cleaning systems or booster pumps.

These systems MUST use a bypass loop with the IntelliChlor SCG with a flow control valve that assures that the flow through the IntelliChlor SCG is maintained within its designed operating water flow rates.

Since most cells are similar, you can probably use this guideline for other cells.

If you're going to use a variable speed pump and you will sometimes exceed 60 gpm, you should probably use a 3 to 5 psi spring check valve on a bypass.
