Sand or Cartridge Filter for New Pool

[JimK]

Thanks for the heads up JimK. Wow, that's 10 years, no issues? Can you give me the model number if it's still being made? I'd like to do some research.

In June 2008 the original cell was replaced. Not knowing any better, and before I found this forum, I was using the "Super Chlorinate" setting on a regular basis to boost chlorine to fight the start of algae (slick liner). The second cell is still in use (I've learned a lot on this forum and am no longer "pool stored" ). This time I'm only using it to maintain chlorine, and as you can see it has lasted much longer.

In May 2009, the main board had to be replaced. I have since learned I probably could have fixed it myself for much less (I love this forum!).

Other than that, I've not had any issues with it.

I don't have a model number, other than it's called "Aqua Rite". It was made by Goldline Controls. I understand now it's owned by Hayward. I'm pretty sure this is the same unit (the only difference I see are the graphics on the unit);

As was said, just like with the filter, make sure you go oversized! Personally I'd recommended the unit rated for 40k gal for your pool.

Thanks again JimK. I will keep that in mind.
