I started this thread a little over a year ago and think maybe I can start looking into updating my equipment. I called the pool store to see how much they'll charge me to update my current pump to a SWG, and they quoted me over 2K. The only reason I called for a quote was because my current pipe connected to my multivalve is leaking and I need that fixed. Thus, I thought I'll look into fixing a lot of stuff for my pool.
So I went online to see how much a SWG Cell would cost me as opposed to having a pool company install one for me. I'm looking at prices that range close to 1K. By the time I get the pipes I want and the tools I need to get this installed, I think I'll be at the 2K mark. Thus, wouldn't it just make sense to have someone install one for me? Mmmm. I'm not sure. Plus, I don't even know if I'm looking at the right SWG cell my pool to come up with a conclusion to this.
For my pool dimension, I was planning on getting a 30K SWG cell. I'm just not sure what type to get. I would like to stick with Hayward. I also realized that the lifespan for a SWG cell is 3-5 years (when properly mentioned). With that said, is it really cost effective to keep buying new SWG cells every 3-5 years? I mean, when they say the cell may become ineffective , does that mean that you have to change out the cell?
Also, why do people buy both a SWG and a VS pump together? If I were to just get a SWG, will that defeat its purpose if I don't get the VS pump with it?
