Hi Folks,

Getting ready to start our new pool soon and we’re looking for information and suggestions on a SWCG. At the moment, we’re considering a Hayward Goldline but will entertain other ideas like the Autopilot. Is there a certain size/rating/output I should be looking for? Have never dealt with a SWCG before.

Our first pool didn’t have a SWCG. We basically poured in the chlorine and used pucks (don’t want to use pucks anymore). We’re getting the salt water chlorinator for peace of mind since there are times I’m unable to check because of work or when we take vacations.

Our pool will be freeform, approximately 16k gallon with an attached 8’ diameter spa holding about 850 gallons.

Our builder included the Pentair Intellichlor IC-40 in the original bid, but we scratched that from the list since it seems to be problematic.

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks!
