    Default Anyone using a SWG on a large pool?

    I estimate my pool size at 45 - 47,000 gallons. Looks like the largest residential AutoPilot - the SC60 is rated for 50K gallons.
    My question is; Would the unit generate enough chlorine with the pump running 8 - 10 hours a day?

    Would it be worth looking at a commercial model or do the prices skyrocket?
    thanks

    AutoPilot commercial cell is only about $100 more and will produce about 1/2 lb/day more than the SC-60 cell (1.92 lbs/day vs 2.5 lbs/day).

    Will the SC-60 handle your pool? Maybe, maybe not. It really depends on a combination of factors. Pool volume is just one. Pump run time, bather load, water temps, UV exposure, and water features.
    The picture of your pool looks very inviting to alot of activity. If so, the SC-60 may not be able to maintain your pool on the weekends (assuming this is your heavy use period). During the week, it should be able to maintain.
    To be safe, I would recommend the larger CC-15 cell or go with a two cell system.
