Pool Pilot

The SC-36 cell should be adequate for your 6000 gal pool.

Donnie,

I agree with Pat that the SC-36 would be sufficient. If you go with the SC-48 or SC-60 cell, there are some adjustments on the system that will allow you to not overchlorinate your pool. Again, the benefits of oversizing is that you have longer cell life and warranty.

Thanks for supporting the Salt Chlorinator industry and for considering Pool Pilot.

Thanks guys. Like I said, this is a new pool. 1. I fill the pool 2. I get pool chemestry in line 3. I add salt 4. I turn on SWG

???? Do I bypass the SWG during the first 3 steps or do I just not turn it on? Does it have a bypass setting?

If you can disconnect the power supply to the SWCG until the salt is added, there should be no problem. I did that when I replastered the pool and had to wait a month before adding salt. Used trichlor pucks to add CYA, and then changed to bleach.

Where do you buy your salt. I noticed Lowes has about 8 different types.

[PatL34]

You need to buy a 99.5% or better granular salt. Do not buy rock salt, as there are too many metal impurities in them.

I buy the Diamond Crystals from Lowe's. 99.6% and about $4.50 a 40lb. bag. Used to be about $2.50 a bag three years ago when I installed my Pool Pilot.
Think the salt manufacturers are lovin the SWG boom??

Does the PoolPilot have temperature limitations. I haven't been able to find anything on their website but I have a friend telling me they are useless below 65 degrees.
