How To Install a Salt Pool System | EASY DIY-Friendly | Adding a Chlorine Generator in 10 minutes!

[@ZMFW613]

Do I just need to remove my chlorine tower and install my salt generator in its place and it functions with the water flow? I have a pentair screenlogic system so my pool pump timer is built into the panel not manual. Installing a pentair IC40

There are two valid approaches here, depending on the rest of your plumbing. You can certainly install your salt chlorinator in the space currently occupied by your chlorine tower, or if you have sufficient room, then the dispenser can be kept in place in case you ever want to use the dispenser on a temporary or short term basis.

Did I understand correctly that you don't need a timer/controller and the unit will automatically run based on the flow sensor?

[@DiscountSaltPool]

You are correct. With a flow switch the system will operate automatically when the pump is moving adequate water through the system. A timer can be useful if you only want to chlorinate for part of the time your pump is circulating the pool water.

Can the Core model be installed vertically?

[@DiscountSaltPool]

Yes, it works oriented horizontally or vertically. You'd just tilt your head to look at the vertical controls.

My pool is approximately 56k gallons. Internet suggests I will need two units. Is there a resource with how to install two units? and.....so do I have to use the prior chlorinated system to get the water clear and balance PH, then install salt water system?

[@DiscountSaltPool]

Yes, you really do need to use two units with a combined capacity specification of 84,000 - 112,000 gallons. The high end of that range is for living somewhere in the sunbelt and the low range for elsewhere. That being said, you really can't have too much capacity. As far as balancing and clearing up your water, it's a good idea to largely accomplish that with your existing system before you install or before you turn on the system. Bear in mind that the initial salination can also take 1-2 days to fully dissolve the salt. In terms of any resource to address a multi-system installation, please e-mail us at [e-mail] and we'll provide you with a diagram and some additional tips on installing two systems on one pool. Our answer is already rather lengthy. We look forward to your message.

@@DiscountSaltPoolWhat is the life of the cell and how and how often is it cleaned? Does entire unit need to be replaced?

[@DiscountSaltPool]

The exact answer to both questions are going to depend on your setup. Cleaning has the simplest answer - almost all systems currently available should require cleaning seasonally with balanced water chemistry. Water chemistry controls this, a higher or lower "saturation index" could cause more frequent or less frequent cell cleanings to be needed. Lifespan is going to be completely dependent on your sizing (the model you choose vs your pool capacity), your pool usage, how well you maintain the water chemistry, your environment, etc... On average people fall within the range of 3-8 years for chlorine generators, some more, some less. Think of it like a big barrel of chlorine as it has a certain capacity to create chlorine over its lifespan. If you get a small model and the pool has high chlorination needs, you'll deplete it quickly; if you get a big model and the pool has low chlorination needs, it will experience much less wear and tear. Once the cell is depleted, you simply replace the cell itself (no need to replace the whole system).
