I have a new 40,000 gal gunite pool under construction and am putting in 2 separate pumps and filters ... one for the main pool (negative edge) and one for a 5 ft water feature ... should I also use 2 chlorine generators ???
2 SWC Generators?

Welcome to TFP
One would be good. The water feature just circulates the pool water. Ensure the SWCG is large enough to handle your very large pool.
Enter your pool info in your signature, helps with answering questions. Would like to see some pics of your pool.

Thanks for the reply, Dave ...
The pool is just started ... excavation ( very little required as it's on a hillside) completed and some piers poured ... maybe pictures when I have time ... I'm also completing a new house (straw bale) ...

Take pictures and VIDEO....you will be so grateful in the future years when you need to remember how this pool came together....

Congrats on the impending pool 8)
Depending on which salt system you go with, 2 may be a good idea for you. Many of the units are for "up to 40,000 gallon pools", so to produce enough chlorine for your pool you'd need to run 1 cell 24/7 @ 100%. If you plumb 2 cells in (parallel, NOT series!) You can cut down on cell% and pump run time and insure that you are generating enough chlorine (the 2 cells would only be on the pool, not top the water feature)
Others will chime in on what I just said (little things like - 'just run a 2 speed pump on low 24/7' ...)
I just wanted to mention this to you.

Or get an AutoPilot unit designed for 50,000 gallons.
In any case, the one, or two, SWG(s) would (both) be on the filter pump, and not on the water feature pump.
