Looking for Advice - Possible SWG Convert

[CanuckPool]

If you have $2500, why not get both!!!

It's hard for me to believe that the number one reason anyone considering an SWG is because its going to save money in the long run. I think its all about less pool maintenece... anything that keeps you (me) from having to drive to the store, heft liquid chlorine around, shocking, storing and keeps me in the water longer or in front of the BBQ longer with a ice cold beer has got to be good in my books. and as just posted, the benefit that a lot of people don't realize is the ability to leave your pool untouched for 2,3,4 even up to a week without any funky things happening.

How many people here have dishwashers vs. hand washing dishes? Sure you're going to save more money hand washing, but isnt the time saved having a dishwasher money well spent?

2,3,4 even up to a week?

Well actually....there's been several times I've left my pool untouched for TWO weeks since I've had a SWG with no problems whatsoever. The only thing I do when leaving for that long is to close the skimmer valve in case evaporation or a leak takes it down below where it can draw. Main drain only is no problem as long as the pump gasket doesn't leak and I always check it out.

Welcome back Pat! Hope all is well with you.
