sp,

If you have an automation system, why in the world would you need a time clock???

Make sure the 2 HP pump is a VS pump.. anyone that would build a saltwater pool with a single speed pump has mental illness. :mrgreen:

Make sure your salt cell is at least 2 x the volume of your pool. The quote does not say the pool volume nor the type of cell..

Thanks,

sp,

Yes, you have a saltwater pool... You will need to run your pump long enough for the cell to generate the amount of chlorine your pool will need..

For reference... I run my 3 HP IntelliFlo 24/7, mostly at about 1200 RPM for less than $20 bucks a month.

And you have three bubblers... :scratch:

Thanks,

Jim R.
