After @mknauss suggested that Pentair equipment would be easier for us to work on ourselves, our PB said no problem and changed all of our Jandy equipment to Pentair. This is the new list of what we will be installing in our 18x40 Vinyl-lined pool in SE Minnesota. Does this all look like quality equipment? Shallow end will be 3'6" water depth, to a 6'6" deep end. PB said our SWG system is set for double the gallons of our pool. Skimmers will be independently plumbed. He walked us through different robot vacuums and we decided to stick with the Polaris for now since it will have its own dedicated plumbing line and then if we want another vacuum later we can purchase separately.

Intelliflo is a pump...what is a purifier?

I think the PDA is a jandy product. why mix Jandy and Pentair? What size cell are they quoting. Get one 2x your pool volume.

Why a pressure cleaner? Any reason not just get a robot?
