My sig should have the pool details, but just in case...
~ 13.5k IG plaster. Phoenix AZ, so lots of heat/sun.
Right now, being the midst of summer I'm using ~ 1/2 gal of 12.5% daily. Looking back in my poolmath summary - it looks like I use ~60-70 gals/yr of 12.5%, which comes to ~$300/yr in my area.
Having read a few other posts, is sounds like ~1lb Cl is ~ 1gal of 12.5%, so it seems like for _normal_ operation, I need a minimum of 0.5lb/day generation, but obviously, wouldn't want to run 24/7, so if, for example, I got a unit generating 1.4lb/day, I should be able to run ~8hr/day @ 100% to meet my peak Cl needs in the summer, and then tone it down in the winter. Is this sizing using sound judgement/calculations?
Next up - I'm looking at the Circupool Core-35 model (or potentially Core-55). I like the ease of installation aspect. Don't have to mount separately, and just 1 cut in the pipe. Anyone have any strong opinions again this line? Alternatives I'm thinking are still circupool (edge or RJ lines), as they seem to have the most bang for the buck, and reasonable cell replacement costs. Any strong opinions for or against one of these, or the manufacturer in general?
I don't have any plans for automation for my pool.
Finally, for the attached pic, since this needs to go after my filter, I imagine I'm going to need to go vertical, and then over and back down. Thoughts? Is it too tight, and I might have to replace the valve too?
