My husband came home this evening and is thinking about switching to a SWG. Any suggestions? 12000 gallon fibergals pool in Louisiana- so I have a big chlorine demand. Thanks for any help or suggestions-
Welcome fellow Louisianian! I am glad you are asking here before you proceed because you were certainly misinformed with the TDS statement.

a few highly respected long time members post about the nonsense of the TDS statements. There is also another link provided in the thread if you want to learn more about TDS.

Have fun and start enjoying the money you save by staying out of the pool store
