Salt Chlorinators Q&A

Question 1

We are redoing our gunite pool. We had a chlorine feeder and now we would like to change our system over to a Salt water pool. Can the RJ45 be installed if it is not replacing an old Salt water system? View answer

Question 2

Hi, I’ve been shopping for a salt system for months and think the core-15 system should be perfect for my needs. I’ve watched all the videos and read everything there is....I can’t seem to locate a spot in our pipes to install it. Is there anybody who could maybe look at pictures or video call to help? Thanks View answer
