    Pool will be ~ 10,000 gallons. So this salt water at 35,000 gallons should be sufficient. If not Jandy then which other brand/model number for various equipments do you recommend?

    I emailed the PB and got reply back - "Fluidra owns Jandy now Fluidra perfected generators long before other companies. Their salt systems are solid. This one is rated for up to 35,000 gallons so it can run at low production rate and last even longer than one rated for 25,000 gallons"

    I sent email to PB # 2, why did he put Pier Beams as optional? I will let you know the answer. Also PB # 2 said, he charges same price for upto 450 sq ft even if I want a smaller pool.
