HI All - I currently chlorinate my AGP with bulk, 5 gallon liquid bleach (12.5% concentration) I purchase from the local pool store. Prices of bleach are going up and making multiple trips to the store is getting a bit "old" as well. I also have to transfer the bleach to smaller more manageable bleach containers, thus adding another time consuming step to keeping the pool clean (not meaning to whine here, as I do realize this goes hand n hand with owning a pool, but i do like working efficiently when possible). I will say though that my pool has been crystal clear for the past two summers using this procedure thanks to proper testing and using the TFP method.
I have a Hayward Matrix 1 HP 2 speed pump that I run on low speed 10 hours a day. I have it plugged into a simple timer (the kind with the circular dial and green and red pins) and it works just fine and my pool is clean. I have a dedicated outlet that the timer is plugged into on a 20amp breaker.
My question is can i install a salt water generator and continue to only run the pump on low for 10 hours with my existing set up? I'm thinking the saltwater generator could be wired to the pump and run constantly when the pump is on, and the amount of chlorine would be adjusted by the SWG control panel? I've heard good things about Circupool SWG's, but not sure which model might suite my needs based on what I described; or even if my approach is viable.
I was hoping to avoid having to purchase a more complex time and hard wiring the pump and SWG to the timer with pump schedules of both high and low speed settings.
I'd appreciate any feedback from those familiar with SWGs.
Thanks,
Greg
