Firstly I must say thanks to all who make this forum going. Maintaining pool is not an easy task but definitely by following the methods provided in this forum have saved me quite a lot of time.
As the prices of liquid chlorine increasing (thanks to COVID) I have started considering to switch to SWG system. So far I have not made up my mind yet and I believe if I buy used system I will be saving some money. As of now I an getting 10% Chlorine for about $4.5 per gallon which due to hot temps getting used in 2 days. So daily cost averages to $2.25 only for chlorine.
I came across few used Hayward AquaRite Goldline SWG systems online and was wondering if I buy used one will I be saving anything at all? I was thinking, if the salt cell does not work, at least I will save money on the control panel. Do control panels last long? Or do I need to replace control panels with salt cell. Looks like most of the systems comes as a bundle consists of control panel, salt cell and flow switch. What are the usual life of these components individually?
Should I be even thinking about buying a used SWG system?
Any help from fellow members is greatly appreciated.
