    Which SWG???

    I see CircuPool does have a bit of a comparison chart. Obviously, I would expect it to be biased. http://www.circupool.com/compare-chlorine-generator-systems.php#cost

    Which SWG???

    Is there a comparison chart out there anywhere? A quick search seems to turn up a lot of manufacturers that don't get much mention here (CircuPool, CompuPool, Resilience, Nexa, Intermatic, SGS, etc.) It would be nice to seem something that listed all the manufacturers, models, initial cost...

    Threshold for salt taste and potential damage to plants

    SWG & the environment

    Aldi's sells 40lb bags of 99.9% pure water softener salt for $3.39/bag. I used two of these in my 15' easy set and it brought the salt level up to 3400 ppm.
