I am looking to purchase a Salt Water Chlorine Generator and doing research on them. Which one is highly recommended here? I am seeing a lot of positive reviews about the Hayward Aquatrol. Any other recommendations?
Thanks! This will be for a 24 foot round All resin pool ( Aurora from Pool Factory ).
 
If automation is present or one day in the cards, stick with your preferred brand as they need to all 'talk' to each other and speak different languages.

If not, circupool is hard to beat. They claim the most production, the longest life and are generally less than the flagship brands. We have too many happy users to count, and they're quick to help the few unhappy ones. While the 5 or 7 year prorated warranty isnt as good as it seems, its better than $0 from the others on year 1+ or 3+.

I like the RJ series. Im getting about 13.5k gallons for you so the RJ20+ would work great in NJ. You can upgrade it to the RJ30+ for $10 more, getting 50% more lifespan. Kinda a no brainer.

Hey Newdude, thanks for the reply. I am not sure what automation means. I am a newbie and installing my first ever pool.
I am going with a Calimar 3hp pump and a Pentair clean and clear plus 320 sq ft cartridge filter for the setup on the 24 ft round pool.
I am not very handy so I wouldn't mind spending a little more for convenience and ease.

Wow, great choices. There is no need for automation on an AGP. I'd second the vote on the RJ-20. I have a 60 on a 30K pool and it has been flawless, starting 4th year.
