CircuPool® Classic Combo (Salt Chlorinator + Pump) Q&A

Question 1

Is there a regular interval at which polarity is reversed? I run my pump 4 hours per day. When not running there will be no power to the control unit. I'm worried based on my past experience with Zodiac LM that with power being cut, the polarity will be reversed every 4 hours after power up which would be a problem (of course I can run it longer if needed).

I purchased a Universal 55 to replace a Pentair Salt System and I was wondering if there is an adapter kit or if I will just have to modify the plumbing myself. Thank you for your time and I can't wait to see the new system in action! View answer

Question 4

Does the Universal55 have the same threads as Hayward Goldline Aqua Rite? I.e., can I unscrew the Hayward and xxxx in the Universal? Or is it the length that is what makes them 'compatible' per the webpage description? Thanks much. View answer
