I was told to try the John Deere HyGuard but I wasn't into trying to source it. I found this in a five gallon bucket at the autozone for about $55. Seemed to be compatible by the specs on the bucket. Ive been using it for several years. Seems to work good.
So, to answer the question, price and the ability to get it local. It was an experiment and I like my results.
