Looking for Advice - Possible SWG Convert

[CarlD]

what I am getting at is... if quality units eventually made their way down under $500, you never know, it could happen down the road. And assuming the cost of bleach will stay where it is or even rise a little (not to mention the cost of gasoline), will you consider converting seeing how the SWG cost vs. liquid chlorine would weigh even more on the SWG side.

I don't know why people keep saying this: I am NOT opposed to SWGs. Repeat: I AM NOT OPPOSED TO SWGs! They are AMAZING gadgets, and they work, usually VERY well. Plus, they are FULLY compatible with the B-B-B methods of pool maintenance.

I am not on one side or another. It's not a good/bad, yes/no question. It's a question of you and your priorities. If an SWG is right for you and your lifestyle, by all means, get one! I simply do not see, FOR ME, a benefit significant enough to yet offset the cost. FOR ME ONLY! I don't know why it is SO difficult to get this point across!

This is NOT like the Nature2 debate, where I see the N2 system as nothing more than a way to transfer your money to them. I see NO benefit to N2, and, even if it does work as well as they claim, the math is such that it STILL costs far more to use the N2 than you will EVER save on bleach (about twice as much each season).

I would DEFINITELY say if you are considering a Nature2 system and don't have an SWG, BUY THE SWG and SKIP the Nature2! THAT is a cost-benefit analysis that CLEARLY favors the SWG.

No way, you all are being TOO easy on Carl. I think we ought to hound him until he gives in and puts one on his pool! Come on Carl, you're just tooo lazy to put one on right?
