A typical guideline for salt chlorinators is 20-30gpm flow, however that is only one part of the consideration. The main goal is to make sure your cell stays 100% filled with water; since the cell is clear this is easy to confirm. Similarly, an RPM does not give the same flow rate on everyone's pool - it depends on your pool's unique Total Dynamic Head, or resistance to flow, roughly. You can utilize a pool flow meter, or simply turn down your pump and check the cell after a couple hours of low speed operation to ensure that your flow is not allowing any air or gas to buildup in the cell.
