An SWCG (salt water chlorine generator) does not eliminate the need to care for your pool correctly. Contrary to what much of the sales literature suggests, SWCG's are just another way to add chlorine to your pool. If you don't know how to do it without an SWCG, you won't know how to do it with one.

Plus, the Intex SWCG's *also* add copper, which brings in a whole new set of problems.

Many people get into trouble unnecessarily, because these systems are 'over-sold' and don't actually deliver what people think they are buying: a wholly automatic pool.
