Hi Paul, You would maintain your pool the same as you would a traditional pool. We put together a Video on How to Maintain a Salt Pool which you should find helpful. Yes you still adjust the pH normally salt systems want to make your pH raise a little so you would be using a bit of muriatic acid to reduce pH. Yes stabilizer is still required to be maintained at normal levels.

 Reply

A  Answered on 3/12/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Wendel, You could use the Crystal Pure PL7701 on a 21,000 gallon pool, but my suggestion would be to go up to the PL7100 40,000 Gallon Crystal Pure Salt System. By going with the larger system you will be generating more chlorine meaning that you can run the system for shorter periods of time resulting in longer time between needing to replace your salt cell. Also if for whatever reason you get an algae bloom the larger system can be dialed up to create a larger amount of chlorine. We put together a Video on Should I Go With a Larger Salt Chlorine Generator which you may find helpful.

I have the original 20K version, not this newest model, and I just have had it running a few days, I have it set to auto and it indicates a good level of salt and shows a voltage indicating it is generating chlorine, however I do notice it seems to cycle down to 0 voltage at some times, even when the LED is still set to generating chlorine. Is this unit supposed to generate chlorine 100% of the powered on and switched on time or is this the correct operation where it switches between modes ?
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/20/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Andy O.

Hello Justin- The cell voltage would vary, depending on the setting that it is on. When you have your unit set to 50% it will operate 50% of the time that the unit is on, if it is set to 100% it would operate 100% of the time. If it is fluctuation while on full power that may be something to keep an eye on.

A  Answered on 6/18/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Hank, Thanks for the questions! My suggestion would be the 40,000 gallon unit over the 20,000 gallon unit as the 40,000 gallon unit has the ability to produce double the amount of chlorine. On 100% output the 40,000 gallon will produce 2.1 lbs. of chlorine vs. the 20,000 Gallon producing 1.05 lbs. The cell normally lasts 3-5 years and you will need salt for start up and you will need to keep your other chemicals like pH, CYA and alkalinity balanced. I have found the larger unit to be nice since you have the ability to really crank up the chlorine if needed but for the vast majority of the time you will be on a much lower setting then the 20K resulting in much longer cell life.

Hi James, This system would tie into your standard pool timer and works as follows. The crystal pure comes with a flow switch so the salt system is only producing chlorine when water is passing through the flow switch (i.e. pump is on). You then set the output of chlorine on the power supply so if you set the output to 50% then the Crystal Pure will be producing chlorine for 50% of the time that the pump is turned on (i.e. 30 minutes for every hour the pump is on). I hope this helps.

Wattage can be found by multiplying these two values, so on the low end you're looking at about 53 watts and on the high end you're looking at about 211 watts. These number vary because if you run the system at 10% chlorine output the wattage is lower vs. running the system at 100% chlorine output. Based on the #'s above if you ran the system 4 hours per day you are looking between .21 to .84 killowatt hours per day. I hope this helps.

Is this unit complete or are there other parts required such as the cable pictured? Where can the salt be purchased and how much would it take for 10k gallons? Thank you
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/16/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

The system is complete, you may have a few installation components based on how you decide to install the system. If you hard wire the system then you will have the cost of the raw wire which is too much. If you wire a 3 prong 115V plug to the system so that you can plug directly into a standard 115V wall outlet then you will need this 115V 3 Prong Plug and Cord you will remove the spade connectors on this cord to expose the raw wire. The cable from the salt cell to power center is included. For your size pool, you will need 300 lbs. of salt at start up. Pool salt comes in 40 Lbs. bags and is about $10 per bag so you would be looking at 8 bags of salt or $80 in salt. Salt does not evaporate out of the water so you typically just have the expense of the salt at startup.

So for 495 this is a complete system, no additional parts needed? Second question, my current timer doesn't move but works if I turn it manually to "on" and later to "off" to run the pump. Have anything that might fix this issue as well?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/16/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Tim, Yes for the $499 it is the complete system less any salt you need to purchase. The most common timer is the yellow dial Intermatic Timer and if you have a 230V Timer then you would need this Intermatic 230V Pool Timer Mechanism and if you are wired 115V then you would need this Intermatic 115V Pool Timer Mechanism. We also put together a Guide on How to Replace an Intermatic 230V Timer Mechanism which you may find helpful.

Hi Louis, Yes this would be a great replacement for your Auto Pilot DIG-220. If your pocketbook can afford it then the PL7700 40,000 Gallon System would be even better as you can really crank that system up to produce more chlorine if need be, also you will get much longer life out of the 40,000 gallon cell as you would be running that system at a much lower % output.

Other than the warranty, what is the difference between the Crystal Pure Salt System and the Crystal Pure Heavy Duty Salt System? Thanks for your help.
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/24/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

The Heavy duty is the same system as the standard but with two main advantages...1. The warranty is 3 year on the Heavy Duty Vs. 2 years on the Standard 2. The cell life on the Heavy Duty is 10,000 hrs. Vs. 7,000 hrs. on the Standard. The extra lifespan on the heavy duty salt cell is due to more Ruthenium coating on the cell plates. Cell life works as follows, say you run your pump 8 hours per day and you set your Crystal Pure to 50% chlorine output then the cell will be running for 4 hrs. per day, thus using up 4 hrs. of cell life per day in this example.

Why is Pool Salt System better than Chlorine System?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/7/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

Ultimately it does depend on pool owner preference but the reasons why some prefer salt systems over chlorine is fewer hands-on maintenance since the system generates chlorine on its own. Also if you leave home for an extended period of time beings days to weeks the system if functioning well will keep the pool chlorinated and lastly many pool owners prefer the feel of salt water to their skin.

Hi Gary, For sized pool I would suggest the PL7700 40,000 Gallon Crystal Pure Salt System. The larger PL7700 will give you much longer life on your salt cell before needing to be replaced and it will also really allow you to crank up the chlorine production if you ever get into any demanding conditions with your pool.

 Reply

A  Answered on 5/26/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Thomas, Yes this would be the salt system you would use and it would work great for the pool you described. You will need to use hard plumbing to hook up to the salt cell. You would just need to purchase salt and that would be it, minus any plumbing supplies like glue. Also one other item would be a 3 prong plug if you want to plug the power supply directly into a wall outlet.

Hello, You will have to re-plumb with the pureline system because it is not the same brand. These newer units can last just as long if not longer if you take care of the unit (bi-monthly cleaning and recalibrating). These units have a dial for the output of chlorine such as 10%,20%,30% etc. It will let you know if there is low salt, high salt, salt level and other codes on there.

I have a Compupool system and I have had trouble with the it and I have wrote many emails to the company but had no replies and I am thinking to changing to yourselves. The Compupool system is fitted between the filter and the heat exchanger, there is no room in the pipe work to fit it after the heat exchanger would your system be OK if fitted in the same place as the Compupool system.

Hi Ken, Compupool has gone out of business so that is probably the reason for no replies. Our PureLine Crystal Pure System can go between the filter and heat exchanger. However, with any salt system, this is not ideal since you will be sending a high concentration of Chlorine to the heat exchanger which could cause the heat exchanger to corrode prematurely.
