Anthony-new user--help selecting new SWCG

[Poolsean]

Mutts, I guess I would be biased to reply that the best unit is the Pool Pilot system!

Ben, are you looking for Bromine Tabs or Sodium Bromide? 10,000 lbs??? WOW, that's alot! Used to be Albemarle.com, was the main supplier of sodium bromide in bulk sizes.
For Non-Idodized salt, you can use water softener salt, which is usually non-iodized. You may be able to get Culligan to deliver?

From what little I know of the Nature2 system you should be able to remove the cartridge completely, close it up, and run the SWCG anyway. Unless, of course, they built in something that shuts the system down if you don't have a cartridge in it (to FORCE you to continue using the system) Then, of course, you can simply let the exhausted cartridge remain in the system, no longer dropping copper and silver into your water.

I would also consider that pool installer persona non grata.

The cartridge acts as the lid so I would need a way to close out that port so as not to have water leaking everywhere.

We opened the pool Tuesday....I came home from work to see the duoclear wasnt even working....I think the motherboard is shot.....replaced it last August (under warranty).

I'm definitely convinced switching is the best thing to do....only question is which unit...cant believe thee havent been more replies.

One "biased" plug for autopilot above and Ive read a bunch about the aquarite but thats it.

Keep the responses coming.

Thanks in advance--
Tony

I'll just note that I've been quite happy with my Pool Pilot Digital - had it for a few years now and no problems.
This is my first SWCG so I don't have anything to compare it to...I like it better than adding bleach manually though!
