Looking for Advice - Possible SWG Convert

[rcabor1]

my 2 cents...SWG work well, with a relatively large upfront cost. Some people are not the DIY types, so a $1500 equipment cost discounts the labor. My local PB charges $85 for a visit and $50 to $150/hr. So I would guess that it is not going to happen for less than $2000.

As far as buying bleach, I never make a special trip. I buy it when I am already at Sam's Club (or where ever I see a good price). So, I do not think that everyone needs to include gas when considering costs...

This being said, if cost isn't an issue...SWG are the way to go...but folks like me, with three kids who like to swim (and their friends too)...labor is free for cleaning, testing and adjusting, buying the bleach is no big deal...

I got my Aquarite off Ebay from a reputable seller, brand new in sealed package for $633 (buy it now). I installed it myself (real easy), but before I tackled it, I checked to see how much an intall in my area (DFW)would cost, and it was about $150. So it can be done much cheaper than you think.


edit:here is who i got it from, its a bit cheaper now http://cgi.ebay.com/HAYWARD-AQUARITE...QQcmdZViewItem
