Hello - I‘m new to the forum, and have tried looking up some information about adding timers. We installed our salt water pool 3 years ago. We had had a chlorine pool when we lived in CA. So, while we‘re not new to owning a pool, we are new to the salt water pool and new to new-pool-construction. While they were installing the pool, I repeatedly asked for a pool timer (like we had in CA). They told us no, it won‘t work with the salt cell. Well….I won‘t go into the details, but it is clear to us that our pool installers knew about the physical installation of the pool really well, but next to nothing about the rest.
We have an aquarite 900 salt chlorine generator and a Pentair 1.5 hp pump. We also have a separate spa with the same filter/pump but it is a chlorine system (they told use we could not have a spa and pool together - like we had in CA).
At this point, we are simply looking at adding a timer to our pool so it doesn‘t run 24/7. I realize that there are several different types of timers. Would any of you have recommendations?
