Hello Everyone, I’m currently in the middle of a SLAM right now and things seem to be going really well so far. I haven’t seen my pool this clear in a LONG time! Wish I had found this website years ago! I’d have a lot more money in my pocket!

My questions are: How much chlorine will my cell create? And how long should I have to run my pumps in order to get the correct amount of chlorine to my pool each day? I’ll be running my pumps about 9 hours each day, what percentage should I start me cell at?
I know there is not an exact answer as all pools are different. Just looking for a ballpark idea of what setting to set my cell at. I have a Hayward T-15 Cell, 26,600 gal pool, Hayward 2HP pump

All this is assuming my pool is balanced at the time. Plan on getting my CYA to 70 once the SLAM is over and keeping my FC at 5ppm.

Download the spreadsheet from the above thread.

Your SWCG can create 1.4 lbs of chlorine gas per day.

I input your data into the SWCG calculator and you need to run your pump for 15 hours per day with the SWCG set at 100% to create 4 ppm FC per day in your pool. I would start there and then you most likely will be able to reduce your pump run time some if your pool does not consume that much FC per day.
 
G,

A T-15 cell will add 6.3 ppm of chlorine to your pool when run at 100% for 24 hours. Or .26 ppm per hour (at 100%) So 9 hours is only 2.3 ppm.. most likely not enough for your location..

Since you have a single speed pump, I suggest your run at 100% for 12 hours to start and see what happens.. It is much easier to start high and cut back then it is to start low and get algae...

Bring your FC up to 5 with Liquid Chlorine and then turn the cell on... Monitor it for a couple of days measuring FC each day.. If the FC goes down, you will need to run your pump longer.. if the FC trends up, run your pump less.. The main goal is to never, ever... let the FC drop below 3 ppm..

Thanks,

Jim R.
 
You need to download the spreadsheet from Dropbox. Use the drop down list in upper right of the Dropbox page and do Direct Download. You do not need a Dropbox account.

Then save the Excel file. And input your data.

I have to say this is incorrect Marty. I use it all the time on my IPhone. You just have to have the right apps downloaded. First grab the Dropbox app and then the app by google called “sheets” (can view and edit spreadsheets.)

When you download the file place it in the mydrive folder for sheets.

Good to hear. I am not adept at iPad operation.
