We just had our Thursday's (14'x35') Aspen (9,000 gallons) fiberglass in-gound pool installed this past October (2019). I am already thinking about converting over to SWG. I am currently looking at Pentair's IC40 model.
The questions I have are as follows:
1. Would Pentair's IC40 be to large for my 9,000 gallon pool?
2. Do I need to purchase a separate flow cut off valve switch or does this model have one installed inernally?
3. What is so special about the transformer to run this unit that makes is cost $400? I currently have a 300 watt Intermatic transformer running 2 LED pool lights, Could I run the IC40 off this transformer?
4. Do I need to worry about my aluminum coping corroding from the salt?
5. How do I know how much salt to add during initial start-up?
Thanks for everyone's advice!

Like Tim, some others will need to give you more details about the hook-up. I modified your thread title to help get more eyes on it. in the meantime, you might checkout the following links:
