how often do you check your water?

What is SWC? I've seen that a lot on this forumn but never any explanation for it? Thanks.

SWC = Salt Water Chlorinator

SWG = Salt Water Generator

What is the difference? Absolutely nothing!!

The terms are bandied about without really a proper definition, so this my attempt.

A SWC implies that chlorination is the process that keeps the pool clean, by conversion of salt water to chlorine electrolytically.

A SWG implies that chlorine is generated electrolytically from salt water to keep the pool clean as above.

Which is the better definition?

I personally prefer a SWC as it appears similar to having an in-line chlorinator, with either bleach or pucks.

Hope this helps.
