Which chlorine & why?

[Huckleberry]

I use granular chlorine since it is dust free and dissolves pretty fast.It can also be applied as shock for regular chlorination.

At home I use an Aqua Rite Chlorine Generator. This equipment does all the work for me. It was packaged with a chlorine solution already. With this I no longer need to change the chlorine of my pool frequently. For me, this pool equipment is wonderful!

I have a 30,000 Gallon Hayward saltwater pool with an Aqua Rite Chlorine Generator. I live in the Philippines and as you can well imagine, It is hot all year and the sun eats chlorine like Pac-Man. Even with my Generator set to Super Chlorinate (Shock setting) it is not enough to keep up with the chlorine demand. I keep 4 or 5 Gallons of Chlorine bleach on hand and add a gallon when the level drops. The main reason I use the regular bleach is the availability of pool supplies is very limited here in a small city.

What you say makes the most sense, other products put additional chemicals (CYA) in your water making your chlorine ineffective and building up your calcium
For every 10 ppm Free Chlorine (FC) added by Trichlor, it also increases Cyanuric Acid (CYA) by 6 ppm.
For every 10 ppm FC added by Dichlor, it also increases CYA by 9 ppm.
For every 10 ppm FC added by Cal-Hypo, it also increases Calcium Hardness (CH) by at least 7 ppm

When your SWCG packs up make sure you get one that is at least double (or larger) than the rated output requirement for your pool and isn't running 24/7 at 100%

Do you have any CYA stabiliser in the water? Unless you buy stabilised salt you'll need to add it. Without it your chlorine will burn off in a couple of hours and your cell will not last
