The Great Tetraborate Experiment!

For what a peristaltic pump. controller, and orp and pH electrodes will cost why not just install a SWG?

Great question! I had every intention of doing so (would love to do so) but then I read that SWG is not recommended for AG pools due to the metal structures corroding due to salt buildup over time.

Goldline Controls makes the AquaTrol SWGs specifically for AGPs! The pump plugs into the controller (straight plug and twist lock available) and they make cells that either fit into the return or are plumped inline with either flex or hard plumbing.

I want to be convinced. But is the Goldline Controls AquaTrol SWG OK for older above-ground pools with metal frames / walls? I understand that salt buildup over time can corrode the metal. I tried to google up their web site, but just found sales sites (impatient).

I was just on their website and it seems to be working fine. Here is their contact info page:

They are part of Hayward so they are a major company! I would try calling their support number and asking about the AquaTrol. You don't want to contact one of their distributors, you want to talk to them directly for your questions.

I just tried calling tech support and they are there!
