We are replacing our vinyl liner and sand filter (c1993). We are strongly considering installing a SWG. Are there problems with salt and a vinyl liner (corrosion, holes, etc). I have no idea how the SWG works, but I understand you initially put in a lot of salt for the start-up. Any recs for type or brands of SWG? We will hire a pool company to do all the installs. Thanks for any advice.

Without automation, I'd recommend the Circupool RJ-45+ for your pool. You should get a cell that is 2x your pool size. Check out discountsaltpool.com. There are really no issues with salt. With a properly sealed liner, your "shell" will never see salt. A chlorine pool is a salt pool. When you chlorinate, you are adding salt. My "chlorine" pool had 2000 ppm of salt when I converted. Not an issue.
If you are re-doing your pad, I would recommend that you get a Variable Speed Pump. VS. a single speed pump it will payback in 1-2 years in electricity running costs.
