Now you can purchase the aquarite at Ebay, or other online places for $699. But your price is the price I have been quoted. You could always purchase it and have someone else install it afterward. You will need to have the electrical down and and mount the box on to something. But you could save $300 to $400 or so if you pay a plumber to do it. You can also try to get a card from the plumber the pool company will use, and then hire them out to install it afterward.

Your price on the in house controller system, is inline with my quotes, I just have not been quoted that brand. That is another thing you can install yourself and save $300 to $400 dollars or so. But again you will need to mount it, know how to wire up relays, program it up.
