Stupid question most likely, but are the differences installation and capacity? My pool is a 27' AG and I have it plumbed much like an inground with the lines buried about 25' from the pool. Is there a problem using an Aqua Rite over an Aqua Trol? Just starting to look into using a SWCG and want to head in the right direction.
Thanks

Someone may have already told you this before but just in case they haven't -----are you aware that using an SWCG voids most warranties on AG pools?

My pool is about 20 years plus old. LOL. We got it free from the Marine Mammal Stranding Center. I would imagine the Dolphin swimming in it voided the warranty. :)

Scott, you can use either for your pool.
I do want to remind you of the hydrogen gas that the unit will produce, you'll have rising pH and possibly a cloudy pool when the unit is generating, from the hydrogen bubbles. The aquarite has a larger cell, but that only means that you'll run the unit less and thereby increase the cell life.
I hope you have a great pool season!

Thanks, Now if I can stomach the outlay of cash I will be in business. :)
