Hi All - We opened our pool this spring, and our salt cell (about five years old) sprung a leak and needed to be replaced. Our model is "RJ-45" (see picture below). I called CircuPool, it was under partial warranty, and I ordered a replacement. The first cell they sent us was an RJ-45NR-RC. It didn't fit right (the thickness of the outer wall is different than our old salt cell, so the O-rings don't seem to fit right, and the cell can't be tightened all the way to the unions). We called them back to troubleshoot, and they said that they actually should have sent us an RJ-45N-RC (I think this is the RJ-45 Plus), so we waited a week, got that one, but the thickness of the outer walls is still different than our old salt cell.
At this point, I'm getting frustrated, so thought I'd ask here! Do we still not have the correct salt cell (ie - is there a plain "RJ-45" like our old one?) or did the salt cell change in the past five years? CircuPool assured us there were not changes in the product, but it's clear from the picture below that the thickness of the walls changed. Should we just order new unions at this point and have a plumber redo the plumbing?
