Wanting to Convert to SWCG, Advice Needed

[bribo475]

Hi All - Yet another converting to SWCG thread! . I have a Hayward OmniLogic Panel, and am using a Nature2 Fusion Tab Feeder today. I want to replace the Nature2 that I don't really use as it drives CYA too high with a Hayward SWCG. Pool is 10000 gallons
The company that installed the pool originally has quoted me to install either a Hayward T-Cell-3 15000 gal cell, or a TCELLS325 25K cell. I prefer the 25K cell based on guidance here to be at least 2X size on the cell. The cost difference between the 2 is significant. I expected them to quote me the W3T-Cell-9 for the 25K version.

Is the 25K still the way to go even if the cost of the cell is almost double?

Thanks!
Brian

Welcome to TFP.

Definitely get the T-9 cell. Even consider a T-15 cell.

The larger cell has more chlorine generating capacity at a bit more cost. Long term it is a bteer value.

Thanks for the input! Went with the TCELLS325 (Seems to be newer model of the T-9) for now. Looking forward to getting it installed next week!
