Can you tell me the name of the parent company that manufactures this system? How many years post purchase will relplacement cells and parts be available? Thanks

Hi Rich, The parent company for this salt system is CF Electronics - Tech Life. The manufacturers warranty is done directly with Inyo which is nice since you don't have to go through the manufacturer for warranty. CF Electronics is one of the largest suppliers of salt systems in the USA and parts for this system will be around for quite some time, at least 10 years.

I have a 20 X 40 pool starts off 4 feet then goes to 10 feet what size do I need

I would suggest the 60,000 gallon PL7703 Salt System as it is always good to oversize your salt system as you will have the ability produce more chlorine if you ever getting into demanding conditions. For normal operation, you will have your system dialed down to a lower production setting then the 40,000 gallon system which will have the benefit of prolonging the life of your salt cell meaning you will have longer periods between needing to replace the cell.

Where can a replacement cell be purchased? I was only able to fine 20000 and 40000gal available on your website.

Hi. The replacement cell for the PL7703 is not listed because we recently started carrying this size. It will be available in the future.

I have a 40k gallon pool and I'm concerned that the 60k capacity SWG will still be a little undersized. I'm trying to keep my VS pump run time down. How many hours is the 60k capacity based on?

Hi, JN. This unit can produce 3.18 lbs of chlorine at 100% output if it runs for a 24 hr time.

I purchased the PL7703 in May and just set it up this weekend 7/9/2017. Do I need to program the control box so it knows which cell I have? What I have read indicates the system defaults to the T-15, 40k model, is this true? How do I tell it our system is the PL7703 - 60k model?
thanks

Hi, Darrin. The controller will need to be set to the T-15 Cell size as shown in the CrystalPure 3.0 Salt Setting Instructions.

Hi, I am wanting to change over to Salt from chemical, what else do i need to but to change my pool over besides new sand and flushing my system ?

Ideally, you would want to make sure that the system you purchase has extra capacity in contrast to the number of pool gallons that you have. Preferably at least 10-15k gallons worth, install the system and make sure that the salt and conditioner levels are within range.

Hi, Gary. I will recommend a unit that can treat at least 40,000 gallons of water.

What is the maximum gallons of chlorine that will be produced from each unit?
Reply
Hi Laz, The chlorine production is measured in pounds (lbs.) of chlorine per day. And here are those ratings for each unit PL7701 (20,000 gallon unit) = 1.06 lbs. chlorine per day, PL7700 (40,000 gallon unit) = 2.1 lbs. chlorine per day and PL7703 (60,000 gallon unit) = 3.18 lbs. chlorine per day.

Will the salt system mess up my pool light it is metal
Reply
Hi Victor, as long as your light is bonded properly this salt system will not mess with your pool light. As an extra layer of protection for your light you may want to consider this Pool Light Zinc Anode. The pool light zinc anode is designed to attach to any pool or spa light. The sacrificial zinc anode gives up its’ ions before the metal in the lights extending the life of any underwater light. No modifications to light required.

How many pounds of Chlorine is generated from this system? Also, what is the life expectancy of the cell and how much is cell replacement? Thanks!
Reply
Hi Bob, the max chlorine production for this system is 3.1 lbs per day. The salt cell has a 7,000 hour life so if you run your pump 8 hrs per day and you have the salt system set at 50% then the cell would be running 4 hours per day when you have your pool open. The replacement cell is roughly $400.

I have a 30ft round above ground pool it’s 52 inches deep all the way around. Can I use the inground 60000 unit?
Reply
Hi Phil, In the case of salt chlorine generators bigger is better so if your pocket book can afford the 60,000-gallon system then that would be great. However, you would be fine with the PL7700 40,000 Gallon Salt System.
Reply
Hi! I have a 24 x 50 pool from 42 " to 9 ft deep. is the 60000 cell big enough if you want it to be oversized?
Reply
Hi Cynthia, Based on the measurements you provided your pool is about 55,000 gallons and the PL7703 60,000 Gallon model would be great for you. I have a similar sized pool and I use the 60,000-gallon model and it has been more than enough.

Other than the warranty, what is the difference between the Crystal Pure Salt System and the Crystal Pure Heavy Duty Salt System? Thanks for your help.
Reply
The Heavy duty is the same system as the standard but with two main advantages...1. The warranty is 3 year on the Heavy Duty Vs. 2 years on the Standard 2. The cell life on the Heavy Duty is 10,000 hrs. Vs. 7,000 hrs. on the Standard. The extra lifespan on the heavy duty salt cell is due to more Ruthenium coating on the cell plates. Cell life works as follows, say you run your pump 8 hours per day and you set your Crystal Pure to 50% chlorine output then the cell will be running for 4 hrs. per day, thus using up 4 hrs. of cell life per day in this example.

I have a 45,000 gallon, heated in ground pool using bleach and acid for control. I spend about $500 per year on bleach and $75 on acid. What size salt unit would be required for operation? Also, about how often do the generator and control units need to be replaced? I want to be able to justify the changeover through economics.
Reply
Hi Mitch, for your 45,000-gallon pool we would suggest this PL7703 60,000 Gallon Salt System. The PL7703 has a salt cell that is rated at 7,000 hours. If you live in the Northeast you probably have your pool open 6 months out of the year (180 Days), for your sized pool you will probably run the system at 60% so if you run your pump 10 hrs. per day this would mean the cell is on 6 hrs per day. 6 hrs. x 180 days = 1,080 hrs. per year resulting in a lifespan of about 5-7 years for the cell. The replacement cell is currently $449 and in your case would be replaced every 5-7 years. The power supply under normal operating conditions would not need to be replaced. I hope this helps.

I currently have a Jandy system with a Jandy pda. Could I leave the Jandy control box to keep the remote functions for the pump and cleaner and install the Chrystal Pure as a stand alone salt system?

Hi JJ, Yes you can do as you explained. I have this system set up similarly with my Aqua Link and the Crystal Pure runs great as a stand-alone unit in conjunction with the AquaLink.

What is the length of the salt cell unit? I have a limited area where I can place the unit

Hi, Joe. The cell is 12-1/2" in length. You will need approximately 14"-20" of space in order to install the cell and flow switch.

Does this chlorine generator monitor chlorine PPM and generate as needed(assuming salt water chemistry is within range), or do you just program a set duration of time for the unit to generate chlorine?
Reply
These units do not monitor chlorine levels and yes you set the percentage of time the unit generates.
Reply
I just bought a 60k size unit. I thought it would sample and add chlorine as needed, but looks like it will just run a percentage of the time that I set it via the dial. Is there a guide to what percentage the unit should run at over the summer or anytime really?
Reply
Hi Wesley, we would suggest starting at 50% output and then after 3 or 4 days test your chlorine levels. We would suggest that your chlorine is at 3.0 PPM so if when you test you are above 3.0 PPM then adjust your percentage down and retest in a few days, you would continue to adjust and test until you get dialed into that 3.0 PPM. Normally the first week you will get the system dialed in and then after that, you should not need to adjust the chlorine output. I hope this helps.

i just bought a house with a larger pool (67000) gallons....what salt cell is appropriate for that size pool?

will going to salt damage my aluminum coping rail?
Reply
Hi Jim, If all of your pool equipment is installed properly then it should not damage any of the metallic items in your pool. However, there are scenarios where improperly installed pool lights can put off stray electrical current into your pool which causes electrolysis which can cause rusting. To ensure this does not happen we suggest a Sacrificial Zinc Anode we made a Video on How Sacrificial Zinc Anodes Work which you may find helpful. In short, if you do have any stray current then the Zinc Anode will take all of the damage and corrosion ensuring that your coping stays rust free.
Reply
it should not rust it is aluminum but wandered about corrosion from salt water just being splashed on it all the time? I plan on getting the anode anyway to protect other metals.

Hi, Eric. This unit requires a minimum flow rate of 15 GPM.

I have a 2 speed pump and the low speed is supposed to be >15 GPM. However, the PureLine 7703 model keeps giving me a flow error when I run the pump on low. Is there something I need to change in order for it to generate at a lower flow rate?

is there a way to test he cell

There is no product that tests this cell, however, if you can email us the panel diagnostics and the water chemistry analysis of the pool to upload@inyopools.com then we can review and further advise if we asses that the cell is bad.

i have a 30k gallon pool. Cost aside, is there any advantage to getting a 60k chlorinator vs a 40k chlorinator.
Reply
Hello Mike, yes using a salt system that has a higher capacity than what your swimming pool actually has will allow it to work less as hard to efficiently sanitize it hence potentially giving it a longer life expectancy as long as the pool chemistry and system maintenance are done.
