    Thumbs up Re: SWCG...best decision I've ever made

    Steve,

    That's GREAT!!

    I agree that the improvements made to SWCGs in the past 15 years have made them more viable to more pool owners, however - some folks just can't justify the cost of them vs. the cost of bleach and the extra time spent maintaining the pool. What really matters is that any pool owner has a clean, easy to maintain pool that fits their budget/ time schedule.
    Luv & Luk, Ted

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    Mike, I went with the ECOmatic ESC 36 model for pool of about the same size. It's been installed for a year and no complaints. Good price point and and easy install. I also like the clear cell housing so I don't have to pull the cell to inspect it for build up. It also has a reverse polarity function that helps reduce scaling and increases cell life.

    I have a QuikChlor, which is pretty proprietary---but there are many good ones out there to choose from.
