I looked at various systems. By the time I bought and put everything together, the cost for liquid dosing would be around $500 plus the cost of liquid chlorine per year. The SWG is going to cost around $700 including the controller. I will need to buy about $250 worth of salt.

I was using tri-chlor. I have to drain my pool and refill because of the stabilizer buildup. I think they are designed for "northern" pools that only run 3 months, never get too warm and are half drained every year. Don't use on year round pools!

I am presently using cal-hypo 3" tablets which are fine, but are kicking the hardness up, which is fine as I started "low" on purpose. Cost is about double that of Tri-Chlor. I have a 45 days supply of cal-hypo, and expect to switch to SWG by the end of July.
