Price

This one is well worth the cost from this seller!

The noodles and sauce cost the restaurant 50 cents, your bill is $16.

Disappointed to learn the replacement valve costs about 25% of the price of the whole unit.

Initially got a quote from a pool service vendor, but was pretty high ($450).

Shipping

This product arrived quickly, was easy to install, and operates as expected.

Competitiveness

Finally replaced the second one with the pentair which has been way better.
