Re: Looking for Circupool Review
I purchased a Circupool RJ-15 and got a free upgrade to a larger RJ-20 model in March 2012. Because of problems not related to the SWCG system I did not get everything up and running until July. When I powered up the control unit I discovered a problem with the display screen and programing area making the unit not to work properly. I contacted Cirupool about the problem. They emailed me a return shipping label and had UPS come out to pick the package up. They shipped a new controler out that I recieved in 2 days. They also adjusted my warranty start date from March 2012 to July 2012. The replacement controler worked perfectly all last season. Running at 50% output for 10 hours a day my CL level was maintained at 7 ppm all season. The only downside to the SWCG was the rise in PH level it creats from the CO2 gassing while clorine is created. I really like the fact that the generator cell is clear wher you can actually observe the gassing process take place. You can also see actualy the amount of any buildup on the generator plates. The unit automaticly changes polarity during operation which serves to self clean the generator cell plates. The operating instructions say it may be necessary to clean the generator cell in a murtic acid and water mixture once or twice a season. But so far the plates have had no noticeable buildup after one season. The cell is easily removed if needing service and to drain the system for winterizing. Their customer service was great and the product seems well made. I think from my experence after the first season it will be operating for many years. Their are no way to be sure any of the companys that produce SWCG will be around several years from now. But from the quality of Circupools equipment and customer service its a good bet they will be in business for a long time
