What flow rate is needed for Chlorinater to function CircuPool RJ-PLUS Series Salt Chlorine Generators - Owner Resources RJ PLUS Series

What flow rate is needed for Chlorinator to work because I’m installing a Pentair Variable Speed Pump? I have been using this Chlorinator on a regular pump for over a year and hands down it’s the best Chlorinator out there.

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 every pool - it depends on your pool's unique Total Dynamic Head, or resistance to flow. Once installed, it's possible that the lowest speed(s) may not trigger the Flow Switch.
