Narrowing down my choices

I think that is exactly why we have to double and triple the size. But just for us *mathematically challenged* folks, exactly what is lbs/day in gallons or ounces? I was looking at prices for replacement cells and the Compupool website gives you milliliters/hour.

1 lb/day from a salt system is equivalent to 1 gallon/day of 12% strength sodium hypochlorite

Hayward's cell that produces 1.45 lbs/day is the T15 cell.

Thanks Sean, that is excellent information and makes total sense. Water (and I assume liquid Chlorine) weighs about 8 lbs. per gallon. 1/8 of a gallon is approximately 1 lb and 12% strength is about 1/8 active chlorine. So each gallon of liquid chlorine contains about a pint of active ingredients, and each pound of chlorine produced by a SWCG equals about a pint.

Yeah, thanks for that info! It almost seems too easy but its for real.

BTW, I went with the Pool Pilot SC48 (RC42) setup. Got an excellent deal on it from an authorized deal. It should be here next weekend. Now only if the warm weather were too.......
