To me the selling point might be the fact the pool can sit at .5 free all by itself.
Mine is hardwared into the house wiring and it is plumed with a flow switch so it will not run if the pump is not on. Moot point on mine since I have the Aqualogic which also controls my pumps, lights, heater, water features, etc.
The electrician who my builder subcontracted pulled a new circuit for all my pool stuff.
