What to convert to a SWG...should I do it?

[Kevinkaye]

So I have decided to switch to a SWG. Now the question is, do I go with the AQR9 which does 25k gallons or the AQR15 that does 40k gallons. The price difference is only about 100 dollars. My pool is 16,275 gallons.

For that, the SWCG experts here have to advise you.

Ok. Thanks. It seems when I log in I only have the visibility of the two forums. How do I get to post in the SWG forum?

As soon as your registration is completed, PoolDoc will move your post to the SWCG section of the forum. He had a death in the family a week ago when his father passed away so has been away from the forum for several days. He is now back but is swamped with all of the things that piled up in his absence so it may be a bit til he gets to your thread. We appreciate your patience during this time. Thanks!

Get the bigger unit for sure. SWCG output is adjustable. With a larger cell, you'll turn the cell output to a lower level. The net result is that the larger cell will last you considerably longer. Regardless of the cell size you select, you're going to have to tweak that adjustment for your pool.

There is a point where a cell can be too big, but a 40k rated cell on a 16k gallon pool will be no problem. I run a 40k rated cell on my 12k gallon pool.

The only positive about the smaller cell is the smaller price.
