How does this pump connect to a salt-water system? From what I understand, the pump timer must also turn on power to the salt cell. Does the Pentair pump have an output for this without having to use their separate controller system?

The pump and salt chlorine generator operate completely independently from each other. So you would program the pump directly from the controller mounted on the pump motor, by doing this you can program the time of day you would like for the pump to come on as well as many other settings. The salt chlorine generator also has a controller on its power supply where you can program the output of chlorine. The Salt Chlorine generator has a flow switch which will only allow it to operate when the pump is turned on and sending water through the cell. So when the pump turns on, the water which is being sent through the salt cell will activate the flow switch which will tell the Salt Chlorine generator to start generating chlorine.
