I have an approx. 19,000 gal IG vinyl 16'x32' pool. I want to switch to SWG, mainly because bleach is getting hard to find. One pool company is giving me two estimates, one that includes a recommended 40k gal SWG. The lady said to have the extra capacity will lengthen the life of the unit, as it won't run very hard. Is she right? I know with a pump you're supposed to match it, an oversize pump doesn't do anything but cost more. Is this different or the same?
What size/capacity SWG for 19k gal pool?

TFP recommends the SWCG be sized for 2X your pool volume. So a 40K rated SWCG is correct for your pool volume.
