Converting from Chlorine to Salt

Jump to latest Follow Reply
That's high BUT it should include the cost of the system, the plumbing work, the electrical work and hopefully adding salt to get the proper salinity level for it to work. Since I don't see automation in your signature this price should also include a physical timer so that the cell doesn't turn on until after the pump is running and so the cell turns off before the pump turns off. This is so the cell isn't one without water flowing.

Both of those cells are undersized for your pool.
The 940 puts out 1.47lb/day or 6 FC in your pool running 100%, 24 hours. You don't want to run 100%, 24/7.
The W3 is .75 lb per day.

Find a cell that is at least a 40K cell and produces at least 2lb/day. (Hayward only goes up to 1.47).

Here is a comparison chart with outputs.

Thanks it included Labor , Salt etc.
I do have a Hayward Prologic with a remote but not on iPhone etc. I had another guy try to quote me into getting the controls on my iphone but he started talking about 3500-4000 which is when i walked away from talking to him.
For the automation, i was thinking that the Hayward W3AQR9 AquaRite would be a better choice.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Can I then go for any other Brand?

I made that as an observation and based on the fact you didn't have automation in your signature. Went and looked at your build. You have an aqualogic. I would stick with the 940. It may be a bit undersized, but your automation will stay intact.

@ajw22 who knows aqualogic and the TCELL940 compatibility?
