This topic is somewhat discussed within another thread somewhere, but I thought it was certainly worthy of its own thread.
We're in the midst of our build, and plan on using (most) all Pentair equipment, but I have no stock in Pentair (and even if I did, so what?), so I'm wide open to being convinced to use a different product than Intellichlor.
As a matter of fact, my PB says he usually uses Aquarite, but since I wanted to use a Pentair 4x160 pump, we decided it was best to use the EasyTouch, and so I suggested that we use the Intellichlor (to help them all get along better.) PB said a few years ago they had had some issues with Intellichlor. In general I'm reluctant to believe anything that pb's say, as it seems they pretty much recommend what they're most familar with, no matter what. (I'm sure for ease and $ reasons, which I understand and hold no blame....... I'im in sales too.)
All that said.... What's your experience with your SWG (or is it really SWCG?), or even why is the SWG that you sell better than others?
FWIW, this is what we have planned so far (anything subject to change, except the pool size):
approx 22,000 gallons?
7' spa, with large spillover
2 deck jets
4x160 Pentair pump
2nd pump (not specified)
Pentair EasyTouch
Pentair Cart filter
Intellichlor SWG (are there different sizes?)
6 returns (from what I can tell)
2 skimmers
Got time to share your knowledge? Thanks!!
