SWCG (Chlorine Generator) Rule of Thumb for sizing of unit

[PoolDoc]

Don't do it! Get an IC-60.

SWCG cost does not go up in proportion to capacity; but SWCG life is directly proportional to on time. The larger unit will last longer.

By the way, if you get an AutoPilot or Hayward Goldline unit, I believe you can turn down feed rates much more. With the IC series you only have a 5 step adjustment (20-40-60-80-100%).

Good point. My Aquarite (Goldline) can be adjusted from 0% to 100% in 1% increments. Over the years I've found I tend to adjust it in 5% increments as needed. The 5 step adjustments you mentioned for the IC series would not work for me.
