I've been researching SWG systems and came across a lot of similarities between manufacturers. Is there one parent company that makes most of these systems? For instance, the Hayward Aquarite, CircuPool Universal, and Pureline systems look exactly the same. The Pureline cell is interchangeable with the Hayward. The control panels on all of these are nearly identical. Even the manuals read very similar.
Hayward the same as CircuPool Universal, Pureline, and others

Hayward developed the Aquarite design. Actually it was Goldline that Hayward acquired. Goldline Controls®, began as Independent Energy, Inc., a company founded in 1975. In 1994, the company began producing Aqua Rite® salt chlorinators for swimming pools.

The other models are Chinese clones of the Aquarite system. They may all come from one Chinese

Hate to necro this but I did just come across this civil case Hayward Indus. v. Ningbo C.F. Elec. Tech Co., CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:20-CV-00710-FDW-DSC, (W.D.N.C. May. 27, 2021) (“CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:20-CV-00710-FDW-DSC”), where Ningbo C.F. Elec. Tech Co. was listed as the manufacturer for BlueWorks. I have no idea if the products for BlueWorks and PureLine are the same, but it looks like they have the same manufacturer.
You'll notice the same when comparing manuals of the made-in-China pumps (Calimar, Pureline, B&D, Circupool) vs some Pentair pumps.
I have a Pureline SWG and I'm happy with it so far. Was much less expensive than a Hayward even with 60k cell vs Hayward 40k.
I have been shopping for a generic saltwater system. The pure line, calimar and CircuPool Universal "seems" to come from the same mfg Ningbo C.f Electronic Tech Co., Ltd

Pureline Pool Salt System comes from Ningbo C.F. Elec. Tech Co. See below:

The pricing is good on those. I would have the same concern about replacement cells.
I took chance and I have this system on order... CMARSHA60-3Y guessing it is equivalent to CFLH60G from Ningbo CF for $680.00 Warranty is 2 year full then 3rd year 80% prorated if I read it correctly....so better than the pureline. Guessing if I get 3 years of life then I have broken even on cost liquid chlorine.
