Thanks for the info. I used to have one years ago but don't know why I quit using it. Proably when I went to chlorine.

Converting to salt is not exactly cheap, It's payoff is several years, it's something else I have to take care of, and I'm 83 years old living alone and not sure how long I will live here . The local pool company I deal with quoted me a price for a Haward system that from what I read was...

Thanks for the info. I had read the info about not using the chlorine feeder elsewhere when looking for info on the cal-hypo pucks. I'l look into the cal-hypo puck feeder. I didn't know cal-hypo pucks existed until Monday. One of the other problems with the chlorine feeder, at least the one the...

I currently have a chlorine tab feeder in line that was installed before I everf heard of TFP that I haven't used in years and it never worked very well. It was still a matter of adjusting the dial so what is the diffeence of putting 3" pucks in the skimmer and figure out the usage rate? When I...

Because of the recent scarcity and high cost of liquid chlorine I have been using cal-hypo for the last two years. I looked into converting to salt, but for various reasons decided not to. The only problem I had was the residue left from the filler even when I mixed it with water. I see now that...

I'm using cal-hypo 63% to maintain my pool. When I say chlorine is expensive, at Home Depot where I normally buy chlorine, its is $24.98 for 3 128 oz. jugs a around 8%. Before the chlorine shorrage it was $7-8. I read 2 other thereads about using cal-hypo and some of the sggestions are not...

As hurricane activity is ramping up in the Atllantic, if I lose power for extended time, can I maintain chlorine levels by adding cal-hypo to pool and brushing? I'm no longer using liquid chlorine because of cost and lack of availability. Even if I bought some liquid chlorine and dumped it in...

"I would not be surprised to find out an swg system costs more than non swg, but not that much more." That's the first I've heard of that. Would you please elasborate? Thanks.

I finally deletd the app on my phone and loaded it again and now I get what you have. I've also have found the vertical installation kit for the SJ + series and think I can get it to work if I can get my brain to picture it. Here is a pictue of my setup. I think I can raise the vertical...

I never paid much attention to the Now that I have spent more time looking at the various systems in the Circupool Universal systems because of the 4 year warranty. I spent some time this weekend looking at the different systems and with the "buy the Highest SWG for $1 for the RJ 60 + and the...

I never paid much attention to the UL systems because of the 4 yr warranty. I spent some time this weekend looking at the different systems and with the "buy the Highest SWG for $1 RJ 60 + UL 55 and the core 55 and RJ 60 are only $100 apart whereas the UL 55 is $400-500 cheaper. That makes the...

I can't find any SWG UL40 or UL55 The things I had to figure out is what device would be relatively easy to install. I looked at the rj45, the rj45 plus, and the core 55. Although the core 55 looks easy to install I don'w have enough horizontal pipe to put it where I'd want it and I'd have to...

Lots of good ideas and I see no reason not to install it myself. I've glued many a pvc pipe and am handy around electricity. Now all I have to do is figure out what swg system to buy. Circulon sounds like a good deal but I wish that there was an explanation of the table headings and the * column.

By that I meant the cost of moving from chlorine to salt and that is more than $2000. It's also a matter of how many years does it take to pay for itself and that is going to depend on what it cost, something that can be known vs. the unknown cost of chlorine the next few years. Going to salt...
