Hi,
I'm looking to add a SWG to a 25k pool in Austin TX. I want to do a self install and am currently leaning towards a Circupool SJ40 or SJ55 chlorinator.
On determining the size, I used the Pool Math calculator and it tells me I'd need 10oz of chlorine gas to raise FC by 3 ppm / day (my pool has shade about half the day so I figure 3 ppm/day would be near worst case). I'm on an older single speed pump that I don't want to run 24x7 (and don't want to replace until I need to). Looking at the daily outputs, the SJ40 generates 1.7lbs of chlorine and the sj55 2.3lbs. So if I'm running my pump 12 hours per day, I'd need to run the SJ40 @ ~73% and the SJ55 @ ~ 54% - correct?
On install, my pool pump and filter sit below pool level.:
My pad:
My plan, after killing power to the equipment circuit, would be to:
1. Lift the handle on the 3 way valve on the suction side and turn it 180d to prevent the pool water from coming in on suction side:
2. Turn the handle on the pressure side to prevent pool water from coming in on the pressure side:
3. Turn the filter pump to 'Boost' to essentially shut the filter off and retain the water in it:
4. Cut the PVC pipe:
- Any reason to retain the tablet feeder?
- If not, should I cut between the feeder and the elbow and add an adapter/coupler there, or should I cut out the elbow and replace the whole run?
5. Glue the SWG in place
6. Wire the SWG control panel into my timer on the same switch as my primary pump
7. Connect the SWG to the control panel
8. Add whatever salt is needed
9. Done?
