    Welp, there’s a first time for everything. Fingers crossed they’ll do something about it. They’ve been helpful overall, so I’m fairly confident they will.

    What one was just bad? It’s another system error, same as I had before from what I can tell. The system error troubleshooting procedure online doesn’t match what is actually going on sometimes (as the rep explained), so it’s hard to tell what the issue is, but they’ve said before that either...

    I’m not saying all are this unreliable, but forgive me for this experience putting a dent in my trust of these systems overall. So, yes, once I save up for a more expensive system then I might choose that route and install. I don’t mind maintenance, I take care of my stuff as much as I can...

    And I probably should have gone with that in the first place, sure. I’m out $2k+, can’t really justify another big purchase like that. Maybe if it had lasted longer and started to generate savings. But like I said, I’m on the fence. I like the idea of it but everyone I asked around to has had...

    Circupool repaired the unit at 40% cost under warranty. Bad main board, cost me $350. Lasted one hour after install. The SWCG really hasn’t saved me money at all, probably a small loss if my accounting was correct. It’s saved me some time, I’m sure, but I’ve also spent a lot of time managing...

    I must be a zillion years old, I guess. What exactly are you suggesting to paint?Painting over a control box seems like it would void the warranty of a new unit.

    The coupling nut creates a leak once the cell is full of water. Someone else here devised a way to support the PVC right at the nut, but it takes a bit of finagling to get the height right. Once you get the height right, it should help. Some others used hose clamps but that didn’t work for me...

    It’s under shade. It was clearly crappy plastic OOB.

    I’ve posted about them before, but off the top of my ahead: The cell should not be mounted horizontally despite their claims it can be. The nuts are not well designed - the plastic flexes so that any pressure will cause a leak. (They knew about this and only fixed new product, not old, but the...

    It wasn’t the cost that I chose the Edge, someone suggested it over the RJ, but I don’t remember why. My Edge 25 has a lot of weaknesses, for what it’s worth.

    We have another issue with our Edge 25, this time it’s looking like the control module. If I had to guess, the cheap plastic on the control module housing has cracked in multiple spots and we got wild rain a couple days ago. I bet it leaked in and is causing the issues we are seeing. I’m...

    Before: After: Looks Iike I’ll be upgrading my waterfall pump soon to a variable speed to be able to dial the speed in. Right now it gushes out at a pretty high rate. I have one of those V Greens for my skimmer pump.
