Salt Chlorine Generators

i have to say it's great. No chlorine smell, no salt or chlorine taste, almost like a bath. None of that sticky chlorine crap and no eye irritation. And it does clean and eliminate junk.
Have had mine for over a year.
Keep the reading between 2.5 and 3.0 (i guess it's ppm) is what they say. You can increase or decrese the percentage level with a button.
Once you're low you throw in a bag of salt and done.

Ours came with the new pool package, so I'm not sure. I think it's Aqua Pure.
Before you install talk to your pool person and make sure of effect it will have on your coating (diamond brte, etc.) especially if you have used chlorine previously. There may be a tretament prior to or after installing it.

Nosigar and AR-
I currently have a pool that I use liquid chlorine and have been considering going to the salt system.
I have more questions:
How big is your pool (gallons)? How often do you have to add salt?
Do you still need to adjust the pH? What about the HArdness level and other levels that you need to worry about with liquid Chlorine use.
All in all- what does it typically cost you per month in salt or chemicals?
Thanks for your help

My boss uses the 5 pound box of Mortons Salt for 89 cents a box. He says his contractor told him it would work just as good.
Actually thought he was joking! 60 pounds for under $11.
What do you guys think???

mick...
the salt system that i have is called the eco-matic & cost me $1300....
i have back problems so i don't take care of my pool....i have a pool guy who does it for me....so i don't know anything about the ph level....
the water is very hard in my area....i was told that the eco-matic would eliminate the hardness....but it doesn't......i have a friend who has a different salt system & his also doesn't eliminate the hardness....
i don't know how many gallons my pool holds but the dimensions are 18' x 36' x 15'...the depth is 3' x 5' x 4'......
eventhough i still have hardness i still love the salt water over the chlorine....
hope that helps...
