thinking of going with a swg

Thank you for the itemized clarifications.

I'm also interested in installing an SWCG.

2. You will need to run higher Cyanuric Acid levels with a salt system, and you may find you need to add more (Muratic) acid than you did before to keep your pH in check. There are other factors in controlling pH too, like areation etc.

Just to give some idea, can you share what CYA level you keep your pool water at? Also, how much is pH affected by the SWCG? Do you have to lower the pH everyday?

4. Your initial investment will be fairly steep, the cost of the unit, the installation (if you don't DIY), the salt, and any other start-up chemicals like CYA. However, If you get your chemistry and your system run time dialed in, you will save money over traditional chlorine. A rough estimate on salt is 50 lbs. for every 2000 gallons of pool water. Pool Salt will run $7 - $10 for a 40lb. bag at most hardware stores. Start with 1/2 the estimated amount and test frequently for the salt level required by your SWCG instruction manual. Don't over do the salt or you will be draining the pool.

Is the cost of additional electricity for the SWCG negligible?
