Just ordered the K-2006 on amazon Should be here next week! Thanks again! Sorry for multiple posts.

    The Swimpro is a Hayward sand filter. The Aquasmarte is made by King Technology and is a private label name for the PoolFrog, a 'mineral system'. TAKE OFF THE AQUASMARTE AND RETURN IT. DO NOT USE IT. IT PUTS METALS IN YOUR WATER AND WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO RUN A LOWER FC LEVEL AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!
    THEY CALL IT A 'MINERAL SYSTEM'. I GUESS THAT IS TRUE IF YOU THINK CHEMICALS LIKE SILVER NITRATE AND COPPER SULFATE AND ZINC SALTS ARE MINERALS.

    Your filter also comes with a ba cpac. This is a trichlor feeder that only takes special (read expensive) cartridges made by king technology and that your dealer sells. Beteeen the bac pacs and the mineral cartridges every six months they are setting you up for a LOT of repeat business that you do not need to do but the dealer wants you to!
