Go with Pentair SWG or Circupool RJ Series?

When you say I will need a timer for the SWG, do you mean something like this?

They want to sell what they carry. Just keep calling around until you find someone that will do it for you. Post some pics of your pool equipment from different angles and include a couple of your power panel. We can sort this out for you. You might only need someone to do the plumbing for you if you can easily do the power. If the $500 includes installing an Intermatic timer for you then it's probably worth it.

NW Pools said they're willing to install it, even if they've never heard of them... they just charge $500 install + Cost of Timer?

They quoted $500 to install the circupool.

This is my magic # for a fair installation price of any SWG system. If you needed a plumber and an electricion, both would want a couple hundred bucks, plus parts.

No, you need something like this that is hardwired in. Again, show us pics. We love pool porn.

Again, embarrassed by the amount of grass we have growing in the area of the pool. We just haven't gotten around to cleaning this area up with the weed wacker.

You would need to put a post up by your current power to affix the timer and SWG controller to. This might cost more than $500 to have done but it will be worth it. There still isn't a pic of behind the filter to see where the SWG could be installed. The timer will be to power the SWG so that it comes on AFTER the pump is running and turns off BEFORE the pump turns off. The pump will remain hardwired to power separately.

You need to take a picture from a little further back of the equipment area. Is there a circuit breaker panel near the equipment? That's what we need to see.

There is nothing behind the filter on the other side as pictured here.
Something concerning here.... that Outlet doesn't work.
The two flaps underneath that outlet... are two switches. Not sure what they're for.
The switch right next to the outlet, turns off power to the pump apparently, just tested.

The outlet doens't seem to work. Pressed "Reset" and it just doesn't click in.
