salt water chlorinator for 45,000L pool in Australia

[sroberts88]

Hi,
my astral salt water chlorinator is no longer functioning. it reads low salt when there’s bit and we’re having to add loads of chlorine so i’m in the market for a new one.

bit restricted in going around pool shops with covid. went to my local one for advice and then just said to get the neptune NDC C25 for $1500 installed but didn’t offer any other advice or options, except to say that the astral needs a high level of salt and is thus best avoided.

wondering if anyone had any recommendations for chlorinators. we don’t need anything fancy just want something reliable. i can’t find many reviews of the neptune thst was recommended.

thank you for your wisdom!

I haven't seen the Neptune before but it looks OK. Would you consider your climate Tropical?
If so you might consider 30g/hr or more. If not the 25g/hr will do with proper water chemistry.
How are you testing your water?
If I had to pick a new SWCG I would look at one that had cell output adjustment of 25% increments or more for better control.
Automatic Reverse polarity for cell cleaning.
and a timer for multiple run times.

hi, thanks so much for your reply, will have a further look into it and make sure what I get has those features.
officially we’re a sub-tropical climate. i test using just the strips usually but once a month or so during the summer, take a sample to the pool shop.
