Hello all. Looks like it time to replace my Hayward AQ-TROL-RJ this year. I limped through last year, but time to replace existing system which was undersized to begin with, so this year it's time to replace existing system or update to something new.
Question regarding the "something new" option. I've come across the Hayward SAS-ABG system. It appears optimal for my 20,000 gal above ground pool and the install looks pretty straight forward. Is anyone on this forum familiar with this system or a current user? I'm curious how this runs in parallel with the pool filter. Can it be plugged into a timer to run at the same time as the filter. From what I'm reading, you plug in the SAS after completing the calibration, initially set it up to run about 30 minutes per hour, then modify that "as-needed". The filter has to be running for the SAS to operate. I typically run my filter 8 hours a day (give or take) during the summer. Running filter 24 hours a day to support the SAS appears excessive. I'm definately missing something here. Please advise my options for install. Thank you in advance.
