I think that is what these guys are offering….but it’s $7000 including installation. Nowhere near $1000 :-O

Well, I got a quote from Performance Solar to install 10 Sunstar panels including the computerized valve for $6970. Does this sound reasonable to all you folks?

I think my problem was that CYA levels were off the charts, reducing the effectiveness of the chlorine. I couldn’t keep enough chlorine in the pool.

How much is your time worth?

If you convert your pool to salt water, you’ll spend around $1000-1100 up front, but then you’ll spend about $.30-40/day in electricity cost creating chlorine from the salt. So, it’s probably break even with buying bleach.

Before, I used to spend 5 mins minimum DAILY checking the pool chemistry, pouring in bleach, and hoping that algae doesn’t grow. If I missed a day or two, then algae would come back with a vengeance, and I’d spend a couple hours fixing my mistake.

Now, I go out there every two weeks for 10 minutes, check chemistry and make sure my chlorine levels are good. I might have to brush off a little bit of algae from time to time, but if you keep your chlorine levels up, you won’t have to worry about phosphates and algaecide, etc. That is just a money maker anyways.

So, do you wanna spend 20 minutes a month caring for your pool, or 3+ hours a month caring for your pool?

I haven’t regretted my salt water generator one bit since I bought it.
