Need advice on SWG brand to install

You should get a few responses. I have an Autopilot system since last summer. Works great, no problems and had the features I wanted. Can't speak for the other systems.

I'm on my 5th year with the AquaRite and original cell....but my pool season is only 5-6 months. I read somewhere they estimate a cell life to be 8,000-10,000 hours of use. Roughly, If the output setting is 50% and you run the pump 8 hours a day you're using 4 hours of cell life. Keeping the CYA level up to their recommendation of 60-80 and salt level up will enable a lower output setting and extend the cell life. Hope this helps, Tony

P.S. Not plugging AquaRite.....I think you'll be fine with any brand.

If your in need of a full controller as well as a SWG, the Aqualogic unit made by Goldline Controls gives you both for much less than if purchased separately.
