Hi guys,
Its been a while since I have posted as everything has been going great with the pool for the last few months...
Unfortunately I think my SWG has finally expired.. im not surprised as the salt reading has been dropping since I moved in 3 yrs ago and I have been compensating with bleach and "tricking" the SWG by resetting and grabbing a high reading as the average on the controller...
Bad practice I know but its kept me "balanced" for a good while at minimal cost...
Anyway, what are everyone's experiences with generic replacements ? I have seen them from various outlets & websites ranging from around $250 to $400 with the legit Hayward being significantly higher... if Im gonna drop hundreds on a new one I want direct replacement no hassle and a decent life ( I think the original has made it since the pool was originally installed which is at least 7 yrs )
The current process of adding bleach etc by hand is starting to become tedious especially in these summer months with the sun burning the Cl up....
My only concern about going cheaper with a replacement is the potential short life ? has anyone had good luck with generics ?
Thanks,
SS
