So management has approved the purchase of a Salt Water Generator now that the VSP pump is in and working so nicely.

24k gallon pool, I typically use about 3PPM FC a day.
With the new VSP, I run the pump about 18 hours a day, mostly at low speed which is enough for the heater to kick in as required, and then some faster times during the day when I add LC and we're swimming (so we can clean and skim)

Given that, I'm leaning toward the RJ-45+, RJ-60, or the Universal 55 - mostly as they seem to be $500 cheaper than the alternatives.
Is there any advantage/disadvantage of going with the clear case vs the closed cell ?
Is there any reason NOT to go with the 60 - I assume I can just run it as a lower output, and extend my cell life accordingly - the extra $100 over the 45 seems like a no-brainer.

I have 110 or 220v available where I am planning on installing this too, should that be a consideration.
 
With a vinly pool in a CH friendly pool environment, you'll likely never need to clean the cell, so the clear body is kinda moot. Still, it's nice to see what's happening inside.

Bang for the buck on the RJ60 is off the charts. Would you buy a 15k cell for $100 ? That's the real question. The 60 is a 45, plus a 15.

Thanks. 60 is on the way - thanks to 1poolman1 for the link where the 60 was basically $10 more than the 45...

Could be here by the weekend !!!

24K gal inground and went with the RJ-60 this spring- something like a $10 upgrade from the 45. Easy install and short learning curve. I'm glad I researched it here! Once I figured out the CYA/FC balance (thanks TFP for your help with that) its been easy to maintain my target FC. I really don't miss the bleach spots on my clothes either. Edit- I need to add that Circupool customer service is outstanding. I had 2 minor issues with my buy of a VSP pump and the SWG. They were outstanding in response and delivery of parts. Kudos to Circupool.
