I am considering adding a SWG to chlorinate the pool (currently I use liquid chlorine) but am a little concerned about whether they could cause issues with the Sunearth EP-40 Panels I use to the heat the pool
As you can see from the panel specs they have copper internal piping and I wonder if the salt could cause corrosion or disolve built up 'scale' in the panels which might be protecting any potential leaks. The panels are now 23+ years old and are going strong.
When I asked the installer of the panels he advised against a SWG and recommended staying with liquid chlorine. He says he has other customers with these panels that were installed in 1981 and use liquid chlorine and still going strong.
I know the salt water levels here are relatively low at around 3,000 ppm (vs sea water around 35,000 ppm).
Does anyone else have experience with these type of panels and a SWG - or thoughts about running a SWG with this type of panel.
Thanks
