If I have a Aquatrol SWG used in my A/G pool and am building an I/G pool with less gallons of water is there any reason why I can't use the same unit for the I/G pool?

I'm not the expert but I don't see why not. Usually, AG things that don't work in IG pools is because of the depth of the pool, like automatic cleaners.
As long as the A/G unit is rated for less gallons than the pool holds - you are fine going with the smaller SWCG. However, the closer the pool gallonage is to the rating of the unit, the longer you'll have to run the SWCG each day to produce sufficient chlorine. As such, getting an I/G unit may well end up saving you $ in the long run by not having to run as many hours/ day and not need the cells replaced as often.:)
EDIT-- I meant to say the if the unit is rated for MORE gallons than the pool amt - you'd be OK using it on a IG pool:o ! Carl caught the misinformation -- good catch!
Don't you have that backwards??????Quote:

For honesty's sake, I'm not going to edit and correct my wording:D (I've spent the past day and 1/2 in the ^*%&^%*& car and sleeping on a cold, lumpy, puppyfilled and TOO SMALL bed)
Wow! Sounds like the wife either has you in the doghouse or is dragging you to dog shows (the car, the cold, and the puppy-filled were all clues. I love dogs but I darn well won't sleep with 'em!)Quote:
