Thanks for the reply. No, I hadn't began the conversion yet. We've had some heavy rains of late but probably will start in a few weeks. From the looks of it in the Baquacil section there's a lot of help and instructions for doing conversions so am thinking that should go through ok.

I'm concerned about the daily / weekly upkeep of the Intek and those cheaper SWG's. As we do not use the pool extensively I'd like to only baby-sit it weekly at most so am considering a more expensive unit that self-cleans (reverses polarity). Anyone here using a sub-$200 unit with good success and minimal mainenance they'd recommend?
