I suspect that is less than 50% of the cost of a replacement IC40. You would not need the power center, just the cell.
New pool going in this month!

Fish,
You are right at the tipping point for SWCG size... We recommend at least 2 x your pool volume and you are pretty close to that...
Think of a salt cell as the gas tank in your car.. Each cell can only produce a 'tank full' of chlorine.. the more gas you have, the further you can drive. But unlike your car's gas tank, you can't fill a cell back up once it is empty. The smaller the cell the faster the gas is used up...
The larger the cell the less you have to run your pump, but.... with the IntelliFlo, the cost to run the pump, at a low rpm, is so cheap it does not really matter much.
I see a larger cell as a nice to have feature, but not for what I suspect your pool builder will want to charge you to upgrade.
I am a big fan of ScreenLogic2 because it allows you to control things from inside the house instead of going out to your equipment pad, but it is certainly not needed... Kind of like your car key FOB.. you can use the key to unlock your car doors or a button.. both open the door just fine, but the button is easier and more fun.
Good job on upgrading your filter,
Jim R.

Make sure to ask any and all questions you might have no matter how small! We have all been where you are at one point.
What test kit do you have? Let us know so we can fill in any holes it might have!

Ok things are going....
They messed up the concrete finish so we get the texture and sealant. Cool with me.
The real question is HOW do I set up 2 pump schedules running different speeds? The schedules run but only at one speed

Finally have everything set up. Installed steps, sod, awnings etc.
Concrete deck looks “better” and we love the texture and paint. It’s not perfect for sure. Already have 2 cracks even after texture and paint.
Only other issue is that we had a wrong issue and it fried the panel. They replaced the panel and transformer but the transformer buzzes when the light are on. It’s annoying because it’s on the bedroom wall and is louder inside than outside. The first one didn’t do that and the PB says “all transformers buzz.” So fat my response of “but the last one didn’t nearly as bad” have been waved aside.
