Salt Chlorinators 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).

Question 2

I currently have an si 30 does it have to be replaced with another 30 salt cell or can I up size to a 40. My pool size is approx 15000 gallons but I’ve always tested low for chlorine for as long as I’ve had the system. Thank you. Rp 818 512 2264. View answer

Question 6

"Roughly" how long is the power wire? If it's short, is it easy to wire in a new one? "Roughly" how many amps would one think the 35k unit draws? I'm deciding on hardwiring it to my pump timer or a separate GFI outlet that runs off the timer. View answer

Question 8

We're thinking of replacing out Hayward with this system. Can we reply on the flow switch to turn the chlorinator on and off? The pump is always powered, but has an internal controller as well as variable speed. We can have reduced flow as well as no flow during parts of the day. Will this hurt your system? Thank you in advance. View answer

Question 19

This says it can produce up to 1.4 lbs of chlorine per day. Would this be assuming it is running at 100% output for 24 hours? Just trying to figure out my run time and output settings. Last year I was using about a 1/2 pound to 3/4 pound of chlorine per day before I installed this salt cell View answer

Question 23

I see the flow switch is integrated into the replaceable cell. Can it be repaired without replacing the entire cell? It seems flow switches are the weakest link with Pentair. While I like this system, I'm a little apprehensive. View answer

Question 24

How important to place Core35 after the heater? The heater is about 8 feet from the filter but all the plumbing is underground and the wiring will be a longer distance than desired. This will cause me lots of work on new plumbing. I can easily place it between the filter (pool return) and the heater (which we rarely use in Florida). It this acceptable? View answer
