as far as the salt is concerned, is there a recommended brand/type?

Good to know, will be sticking to Pentair. They were pushing Jandy and I was curious as to why

A contractor provided a quote for a Jandy Truclear system that they prefer over the Pentair SWG. They had it for $1500 all in. They also mentioned that they can do the ic60 plus for $200 more than the ic60. Thoughts?

Ever use one? I would just secure it to my backwash pvc and let it rip? Sounds too good to be true.

Oh gotcha, so what would be my options for removing power if my current pump doesn’t have automation?

I’d take it running at 80% is not ideal?

That’s what the power center is for?

I would say about 4-5 gallons a week during hot months. 10% concentration

About 9 hours

Also, any reason to look at the ic40/60 plus series? They seem similar priced

I do have solar but it doesn’t even cover usage as is.

I believe it includes all of it to make it run. I am in the greater Los Angeles area so it doesn’t get too hot. Not sure about running the pool pump 24/7 though. If I went for the ic-60 I won’t have to run it 24/7?

Semi handy…no automation. Is this something I should future proof for? Good to know pricing on non Pentair brands. Do they work as well?

Nope. All my pool equipment is old.

I am tired of lugging gallons of chlorine from the store and am considering adding a swg to my pool. I was quoted $2475 for a Pentair IC-40 installed (including salt). Does this price seem high? Also, will this pay for itself after a few years? Any other recommendations for 30k gallon pool?
