This might be the worst idea I've ever seen in the pool business.
1. If you simply run the unit when you need to clean your pool you will have absolutely no chlorine available and your pool will look like green slime (algae) in two weeks.
2. In order to get proper chlorination you will need to run the unit 8 hrs a day.
3. I have a salt chlorinator/salt water pool. You have to run your pump 8 hrs a day so that the "cell" can create the chlorine.
4. What idiot would make a salt cell within your pool cleaner? Doesn't even make sense as additional salt chlorinator because you don't need additional salt in pool. I put salt 1x every 3 months or so. Just a bag or two. The cell does the rest.
5. Additionally the cell is so small you probably can't even properly chlorinate a Mr Turtle pool.
6. If you have chemical chlorine pool then again this salt pool cleaner won't do a thing.
Please everybody don't even consider this POS. just buy an aquabot AWD if you like the unit. If you want a saltwater pool buy proper freestanding equipment not directly linked to your pool cleaner.
