    Salt-water regret

    3 years on salt. 16*32 bestway from costco. 0 rust 0 problems. The only downside of salt is you have to watch your csi and its expensive to drain from the added salt. Without salt you can drain it over the winter .

    I have a bestway and use intex hoses off ebay. Wrap 3-5 turns of plumbers tape around the threads before installing. Also I'm slowly ditching the stock stuff and going to hard plumbing and actual pool stuff. 1.5" npt pvc fitting use 2 washers then they work to connect to a hose.

    It felt very weird how the cord plugged into the machine. It went in at a slight angle hitting the side like the board wasn't installed in the correct placement.

    RJ-60 install

    How many feet of pipe do I need between the unit and the pool? Can I run 1.5" the whole way or should it be 2" after the swg and then reduce to 1.5" into the pool?

    We suggest to purchase a hayward system as the manufacturer informed us if the customer purchases another unit they will have the same issue. Are they just hugely over stating production ? Or do they not even check the unit to see if its really broke and just refunding money?
