    Mark, the price for all that gear came in at around 8k! So let us simplify this a bit. What do you think about the following: Pentair WhisperFlo Pump, 1.5 HP (43492), Salt water chlorinator- Swimpure Controller & T-CELL 15 (40K Gal) (81230), Hayward Swimclear Cartridge Filter - 425 sq. ft., Polaris 280 (60002), Pump Booster (Polaris) (60015). We are planning on having 3 deck jets, 2 bubblers on the tanning ledge, and 2 in-wall returns. Would we need another booster for all of these returns?

    ========================================

    This new plan comes in at half the price of the previous plan and is from Leslie's. We have a Leslie's dealer 1 hour north of us.

    EcoStar: $1149
    Goldline AquaPLUS w/cell: $1290
    Hayward C4025 SwimClear: $729
    ThePoolCleaner: $469.50

    That is about half of what you have. How did you get to $8k?

    But if you want to go cheaper, I would at least get a lower HP two speed pump. The pump you chose is single speed and will not be very efficient. Also, I would strongly suggest going with the same manufacture for everything so you can get the extended warranty.
