Dont get swg and you will very quickly regret you're decision. Good luck

I like my salt system, but be aware you will be schlepping acid instead of chlorine.
False equivalency. A gallon per month of acid vs a gallon per day of chlorine.
Gallon of 10% is about $3 ... gallon of acid is about $5 ...All gallons may be equal in size but are not equal in price.
Gallon of 10% is about $3 ... gallon of acid is about $5 ...
15 gallons chlorine / month = $45
2 gallons of acid / month = $10
Failing to follow your argument here ...
I have no acid demand with mine. pH is rock solid. I spent a lot of effort to get the TA in line, which may be why.
Yea it's awful. Several years of minimal intervention perfect pool. Who would want that?...Also, SWG seem to be somewhat fickle beasts. It may work perfectly for a few years and then stop...
I know exactly what levels I need and what tests provide reliable numbers. I am not sure what point you are trying to make with this chicken little sky is falling bs. The whole point of TFP is reliable testing, understanding the effects of what you are adding, and understanding what levels are desirable and why. This is easily achievable....and when it does, it's kind of a wild-west scenario for fixing it. First, your chemistry will be criticized, including your salt level, and that's when you'll find out that no one really seems to know what the gold standard is for measuring salt levels...
.... and I'm not convinced that you save money with a SWG, though it's obviously very hard to figure that out without two identical side by side pools.

First, your chemistry will be criticized, including your salt level, and that's when you'll find out that no one really seems to know what the gold standard is for measuring salt levels. You'll measure it 4 different ways and get 4 different answers. In the midst of trying to figure out if the problem is actually your salt level, you'll decide that you obviously need a new cell. If that doesn't work, you can either call a repair person who'll likely try to sell you an entirely new setup, or enter the world of esoteric internet threads reading about things like K1 relays and finding yourself on a weekend soldering something to an overwhelmingly complex looking computer board out at the side of your house and hoping that this will get you somehow back to the part where your pool was so easy to manage. So when they break, SWG are entirely uncool.
