j,
I can't help with a local installer, but I have a couple of thoughts about your upgrade. (That's a couple more than I usually have all day..
)
Keep in mind that the EasyTouch won't be able to communicate with your current SWCG. It would be able to turn it on/off, but not provide any cell information, such as salt level, or output percentage. You would still have to use the old salt system to adjust things.
You may want to buy a package deal where the ET comes with an internal salt system power supply and an IC40 salt cell.
Make sure you get the right ET for your needs. The ones that have an "L" in the model number are "light" versions and do not have a load center (Where all the circuit breakers go) and do not have as many features. But they are cheaper..
It appears you do not have a spa... but in case you do, the ET comes in two models, one for Pool only and one for Pool and Spa. If you have a spa make sure you do not get the Pool only version. The Pool and Spa version works fine for either case.
I would suggest that you also get the ScreenLogic2 add on, which allows you to control everything from your PC, Phone, or Tablet. Having ScreenLogic makes the ET 10 times easier to use and program.
The ET is not difficult to install, but the first time is rather confusing, so I would recommend someone that has done an install a few times before. I would call Pentair and ask who they use for their Repair Rep in the area... then call them and see who they might recommend. Or talk with a local pool builder and see if they will provide a lead.
Thanks for posting,
Jim R.

As Marty points out, the IntelliFlo is a great pump. Be careful if you buy another VS pump, as the ET is not designed to control anything but the various models of the IntelliFlo pump.
