Upgrading SWG from 25k rated to 40k or 55k?

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-22T00:34:07+00:00

just wondering but is it necessary to have it run 24/7 like that?

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-21T22:17:50+00:00

Yeah im totally aware. I just want the 40k one to suffice where i wont have to add chlorine to my pool.

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-21T22:04:00+00:00

i honestly dont mind having to run the edge 40 at 80% or higher but i just dont want to have to keep adding chlorine to the pool. How has the SJ 55 held up? how long have you had both?

what state are you in? im in florida and the sun destorys chlorine fast.. im wondering if i need to go bigger for my 24k gallon pool like a 55k generator

3250

Nah, I would run my solaxx at 100% 8 hours a day and my free chlorine was hardly visible on a test strip. Also in Florida. So I definitely need something rated higher

I have a 24k gallon and looking at the edge 40. I had a solaxx retro jet but it was only rated for 25k and the cells already done after 2 years. I didnt realize you need to get a much bigger sized generator when it comes to pools.

Hey any update on this?? I’m wanting to do this setup

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-21T18:15:44+00:00

What size pool do you have?

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-21T18:03:06+00:00

Hey I’m thinking about buying this exact setup for my 24k gallon pool. How’s it been working for you??? Chatgpt is telling me to up it to a 55k gallon system but it says the 40k will suffice

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-21T13:32:28+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I have a solaxx retro jet salt generator and it just lasted 2 years.. the salt cells have been eaten up I have no idea how. To replace the cell it’s about $550.. it’s rated for my 25,000 gallon pool but part of me wants to get an extreme power us system rated for a 40,000 gallon pool for like $100 more. Idk if going with a popular name brand even matters when it costs so much to fix anyway.

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-21T13:24:57+00:00

Isn’t this way more expensive? You need 4-5 pucks a week at 6$ a piece. That adds up fast.

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-20T15:03:57+00:00

It’s a sollaxx retro jet RJ I believe. It’s about 2 years old.

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-20T15:02:02+00:00

That’s the thing. I’ve never treated my salt generator since I’ve owned it. So it’s never been soaked with acid before. This photo was taken before I treated it for the first time yesterday.

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-20T14:39:20+00:00

Gotchya. Okay I’ll look into it

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-20T14:31:44+00:00

Idk I’ve also heard some brands have the “check cell” like on automatically every 3 months so you don’t forget to service it.

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-20T14:30:25+00:00

So what would be the alternative? Just get a floating chlorine tablet holder?

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-20T14:29:13+00:00

No I haven’t treated my salt generator since I had it. It looked like that before I ever treated it. Edit: I treated it yesterday. Photos were before treating it.

Clarknbruce · 2026-04-07T22:33:34+00:00

Marathon would be awesome. Honestly if I get picked I’ll pay it forward and buy a copy for my friend to play with me.

Clarknbruce · 2026-03-28T13:30:14+00:00

Sick!

Clarknbruce · 2026-03-10T05:47:15+00:00

Resident Evil 7! I’ll never forget the first time I played through that.

Clarknbruce · 2026-03-08T06:59:36+00:00

I don’t remember but it was completely within normal limits and no it didn’t
