Hello. Asked this question under a different salt system, but meant to ask it here. I have an existing Jandy AquaPure FSOFT1400 SWCG system. Looking to replace it with a newer system with better functionality and lifespan. How difficult (or hopefully easy) would it be to replace my old system with a new Saltron system? Is this something I could do myself or would I need a pool tech or electrician to do the install.

Hi Mark, There is not an installation video on this specific unit but we do have this Video on How to Install a Salt Pool System which you may find helpful. There is this POWERCLEAN® Salt Ultra 540 Installation Manual which may help as well.

Hi John, all of the fittings for this system are for 2 inch PVC however can be reduced if needed. Your local hardware store should carry those types of fittings.

Why do the specs say "Produces up to almost 1.3lbs of chlorine/day "? Isn't this a salt system?

Hi Robert, yes that is correct as salt systems generate chlorine. Here is a guide that we put together called "What Is A Salt Water Pool?" that will help to clarify this.

Hello Hamid, when adding a salt-chlorine generator system to a swimming pool you do not need to change your filter. All pool systems should have one already present but if yours does not then here is a guide that we put together called "How To Size a Pool Filter" that should help.

Can this be used on an above ground pool? I have a 3 foot pool that requires 25000 gallons.

I have a 25000 gal.which one do I need?

Hi Jerry, for a 25k gallon swimming pool this 40k capacity model is what we would suggest in order to have extra capacity and not work the unit to its maximum. This will also help with the longevity of the cell.

We moved into a home with a built-in pool...approximately 25 to 29,000 gallons. They were using baquafil, which I hated. We have a large older Earth filter that works well. Can I purchase this and use with my Earth filter?

Hello Tammy, yes you can use this system with any type of filter system. And would be large enough to handle your pool.

I have an outdoor 200,000 gallon pool with a diatomaceous earth filtration system. I am interested in changing over to a salt pool system. Purchasing chlorine this year was a nightmare.

We love salt systems - it makes owning a pool a trouble-free experience! We advise getting a salt system about twice the size of your pool - I assume yours is 20,000 gallons and not 200,000 gallons. The choices available to you are on this webpage. You will have to add salt once (and maybe after heavy rainfall) but you'll never be lugging (or finding!) chlorine tablets or powder again! Many pool owners also appreciate the fact that they can go out of town for a week or more and don't have to worry about a pool sitter to add chlorine. We like the double-sized recommendation (a 40,000 gallon rated system for a 20,000-gallon pool) so the cell is not constantly running at 100%. We put together this helpful guide on Converting Your Pool to a Saltwater Pool to help you out.
