Hi! I have an Intex vinyl 20x12 AG pool - and at the moment it is 'on' Baquacil. However, i have just bought the Intex Salt Chlorine generator - so will be converting it soon.
I also have two black rubber solar panels - 4x20 - which work wonderfully well in keeping the pool warm!
BUT...I am suddenly a little wary of the situation, having read in an earlier thread how any air mixing with the chlorine could result in an explosion - also wondering if the pump Intex sends (its a combo pump/converter) will be able to pump its chlorinated water through the panels OK. And even - if i am meant to do that ? It says in the instructions the converter should be the last item in line connected to the pool - whereas at the moment the panels are the last..
ALSO -The pool water gets pumped throughout the day through the panels and into the pool so as to get the temp. up - but if the pump has to be timed according to the need for chlorine - will that mean i will have to forego the solar panels heating up all day?
LOTS of questions...i think basically i dont know quite what to do - so even if you can think of a question i didnt ask - but should have - let me know that too! Pool chemistry is fascinating - but gets a bit scary when dealing with explosions and corrosions...! EEEeeek!
Thanks!
