grounding a SWG

[doriec]

Ben and others who responded,
Thanks for all your advice. Ben, you gave me perspective when you explained the cost factors of an SWG versus bleach. After considering the annual cost for the bleach we use, the SWG does seem pricey.

Our pool is 27,000 gal. and our swim load is heavy--lots of grandkids and their friends. We use about 12 gal. of bleach a week. My consideration for an SWG was also due to lugging those gallons and having a sanitizing system for the pool when we were gone for periods of time.

I do appreciate all the advice that you all gave me. I didn't know about the vinyl ladder. That solution seems so simple. That is why I like this site so much--there is so much valuabel information.

Take care! Dorie

Um..Vinyl ladder? Please tell me it's a stainless steel ladder. This may be minor, but a vinyl ladder has no conductive properties and will not need grounding.

I think that's the point, Sean.
