Question 20

I am growing weary of throwing money at Hayward Products. We are needing to replace a Aquatrol-RJ for a hard sided 24' Dia. above ground pool. Will the Universal40 work for us and our pool? Will we need to re-configure as current salt cell is mounted at return jet (RJ) on side of pool? We are pretty good DIYers and moderately proficient at plumbing and electrical. Can I download installation instructions? Thanks. Ready to resume pool season.... View answer
