BBB or SWCG ??

[waterbear]

I have a swg and would never ever ever think of going back to maunal chlorination again! I also test water all day in a pool store and get the same response from those who own a swg!

[p.p.h.]

SWC here! I really like the "feel" of the water compared to unsalted water plus the convienience is good as well. There is a slightly higher demand for acid vs a BBB pool so its kind of a give and take. She'll still need to keep bleach on hand in case the need arises to shock but other than that, for my needs, i wouldnt trade my SWC for anything.

Actually, happily, there is NO wrong answer here! BBB and SWG are totally compatible with each other and, to me, the question is meaningless.

As a BBBer, I don't have an SWG, can't justify one, but I think they are just great. Plus, if you NEED to shock your pool in a hurry, you just add bleach with NO fear of side effects. As for the other two Bs, Borax and Baking soda, they, too are compatible, but SWGs tend to push pH up so you won't use Borax much.

It's a personal choice and both are good!

Thanks, all!

And for all the other great info on this board! I am armed with a ton of good info so that when we get our AGP next season, I will be able to speak with the pool store guys, understand what they are saying, and not get hooked by hype! I will be using BBB with confidence right from the start, and not feel bad because I cannot have SWCG on AGP (would not want to risk corrosion!!)
