Salt Water vs. Typical Chlorinated water Systems/Which is Better?
Comments (2)Do a search at the bottom of the topic post page....there have been plenty of discussions on this subject....See MoreConverting from Baquacil to Chlorine or Salt Water
Comments (3)Get yourself a good test kit, and you won't have to rely on the pool store for testing. The best source about converting from baquacil to chlorine (via salt water or otherwise) I've seen is at troublefreepool.com Here is a link that might be useful: baquacil conversion info...See MoreSalt Water CHlorinator and Low Chlorine
Comments (9)This morning I went out and I'm down to 1ppm again. I bumped it back up to 75% and will run it for 9 hours and see what it looks like tomorrow. My skimmer has a few ants in it, but that's it. So as long as I'm showing high levels after the SWG runs, then that should prove that the problem is not with my generator. I'm not sure how to check it on low speed. I just turned it to low speed on my remote, went to the diagnostics menu and it is reading my salt level and voltage. I'm assuming it's working if it's reading those items? It runs on low speed from 1am until 6am. Then my high speed kicks on at 8am until 11am. When I go out at 8am, my chlorine reading is low. I would think after running 5 hours even on low speed that I would have chlorine. After running it on high speed for 4 hours yesterday, I had plenty of chlorine....See MoreWhich Pool Salt Chlorine Generator Makes The MOST Chlorine?
Comments (0)If you are not familiar with how salt water chlorine systems work in swimming pools essentially salt is the base ingredient that chlorine is made from. In a salt water pool you maintain salinity levels above traditional chlorine pools (3000 ppm average versus 500 ppm average) and a small electric current is passed through the water by a salt cell. This electrolysis process results in separating the salt from the chlorine. So if you were to run all 3 of the most popular salt water chlorine generators which one would product the most chlorine? First, the three in question are the Hayward T-Cell 15, the Zodiac (Jandy) AquaPure 35 as well as the Pentair IC60. The unit that generates the most chlorine of all of these is the Pentair IC60. Actually the Pentair IC40 system makes the same as the Hayward T-cell 15 (The biggest from Hayward other than the extended life cell which still produces less than the IC60) If you are interested in knowing more about salt water in swimming pools, or to read the article that provided the data for these results, you can read it in full here: Pool Salt Water Generator Reviews...See Morepoolguynj
