Regarding the warranty.

The system was purchased in 5/07. So we're at 3 years and 2.5 months, but not yet at 4 years. I called back to Goldline and they stated they were considering this to be 4 years old and would not provide a full warranty I explained the above and it did not make a difference in their position.

I've looked at the internet sites and see the cell for less than $450. An Amazon business (initials ITS) stated they were not dealing with warranties, but that Goldline would be responsible for the warranty if purchased from them over the internet. One site had the cell priced at around $360.

Then I spoke with several "Authorized Dealers" of Goldline products and they were consistently asking $850 +/- for the cell alone. Most were not providing warrant work for merchandise sold by others.

At this time I am using chlorine tablets in the skimmer. The water is mildly cloudy without any signs of algae bloom.
