    With my limited experience, the only thing that looks like it needs adjusting, to me, is the Total Alkalinity. You should aim for 90-120ppm. Everything else looks spot on. Normally I would think that 65ppm CYA is a tad high but that's apparently what SWG's call for, I'm not sure why. Mine calls for 60-80ppm. Perhaps the low percentage setting has something to do with the modest size of the pool? Or maybe you run your pump for many hours?

    I have a 6600 gal fiberglass pool and my SWG is set to 5% to maintain a FC around 3 or 4 ppm. I run the pump 8 hours and my cya is around 65 ppm. Since the cells are rated in hours of use I look on this as a plus!

    Thanks for the replies. I run my pump 8 hours per day. I am guessing that is why I can run the generator at such a low setting.

    Thanks,
