I just noticed the INTEX 26679EG QX2600 SWG is on sale and thinking of swapping out my current INTEX 26651EG
SX3000 sand filter for it. I have around 6500 gallons in my Intex AGP.

The QX2600 flows less than my SX3000. Flow rate is 2150 vs 2450 and chlorine output is 11g/hr.

My frame already has rust on it going into the 3rd season and the plan is to take it down, knock the rust off and re-spray the frame. Then put everything back up. In doing so I figured I could just swap to SWG since my concern was the salt water would eat the Intex frame. Evidently regular water does too ;)

When talking to a friend he said going SWG isn't worth it since there is alot of issues with salt cells going out and other things. Just easier to add chlorine, but I'm tired of adding it daily :)

Any words of wisdom from experience?
