    I'm thinking about giving one of these a try.



    At $510 for the 7 gallon model (15 gallon pictured, I think) the cost of the equipment is comparable to the SWG, but then there is the ongoing cost of bleach.

    This would make the two systems more comparable in terms of convenience though.

    You still have to add the liquid chlorine, and it has to be the same strength every time otherwise you are forever having to adjust the flow to maintain the chlorine level.

    That's my first impression omf this.
