Which SWG is a better value

[divinduck]

My Intex cheapee finall died so I need a real SWG for my 8k AGP.

I have 2" piping and a 250# sand filter so I'm rigged like a IGP.

Which would be a better value a CircuPool RJ20 with a 7 yr warranty for $549 or a Intellichlor IC15 By Pentair for $389 ?

Either of those units will be fine. The Intellichlor is a heck of a buy at that price.

Bamma, will the IC 15 be overpowerd enough for my 8k pool ?

 

[Bama Rambler]

It's designed for 15,000 gallon pools so it should be great.

Good deal, got it ordered..thanks !

Did that price include the power supply?

yeah that sounds like the cell only, but if it includes the power supply than that's cheaper than my costs lol

Question is, if it doesnt, did divinduck order a power supply?

 

[DBfan187]

well that is right inline with the power supply's cost

The intex of course!

Yes it came with a p/s, but it is a smaller sealed unit not the bigger power center.

And that was $389 TOTAL, no shipping no tax and no handeling !

I second that question!

Why does it say that for above ground pools you don't need the PS? The other cells indicate the need for a PS. And they seems to say that if this one is used for an IG pool it also needs a PS?

 

[carlscan26]

Also, are the cells interchangeable if you decide you want a bigger cell is that doable without re-plumbing?

 

[Bama Rambler]

The IC15 doesn't need the power "center" like the larger units but it still needs a power supply.

 

[carlscan26]

...and that price is gone

If you're not looking for a lot of bells and whistles if you compare output amounts divided by cost it may give you an idea of value. All SWCG units wear out, they have a fixed life expectancy (total output)and its a function of run time and output percentage run. It's basically if you run it at 50% it will run twice as many hours as 100%. That's how it works on paper, real world conditions will vary.
