Considering upgrade to SWG

[JoeN64]

I live in central Fl and have a 10k gallon pool/spa. I have the Jandy iAqualink automation system. I am considering upgrading to SWG, but would like some guidance. It seems the obvious choice would be to get the TrueClear SWG, since it integrates, but is integration that important? I've read good things about the Circupool systems, which have a longer warranty and are less expensive. Is there a distinct benefit from having the SWG be part of the automation? It looks like TrueClear works at a % and not a specific measurement if I read correctly. Any advice is appreciated.

From my research (I am considering a SWCG as well) and feedback on the forum is that the Jandy TruClear is not a reliable product. If you go with Jandy, it is best to go with the AquaPure 700 or 1400 models. Since you have iAquaLink automation it will tie in with remote control, etc. Whereas CircuPool will need to be manually controlled at the control box at the equipment pad.

Also there is a large discussion on CircuPool with regard to their posted performance data vs reality.
