Oh, your signature said 60k gallons. I would go with the 40k. It's not that much more expensive and will likely last you alot longer. They're easy to change once installed btw. Just two unions. Good luck.

If you have a spa and/or any other water features, the Hayward automation is very cool and easy to use... but much more involved (and expensive) of an install. Also, looks like you have a giant pool. The biggest salt cell you can get with Hayward is rated for 40k gallons. I wouldn't go with...

He said that if he goes out to a warranty job and there is no check valve that it's an instant denial from Hayward. So I spent the extra $40.

Btw, the guy that did the install is a certified Hayward, Pentair and I think Jandy warranty representative. Very cool guy and he's actually a TFP'er. I was shocked when I started talking about the forum and he said he's an expert and posts from time to time. Anyone looking for an install on...

Hahaha, I was just doing that and trying to update the thread title (guess I can't do that) to add that I went with HLBPLUS4W. Thanks again @ajw22

Just wanted to update this thread. System is fully installed, up and running. Total cost was 5g's when all is said and done Like I said earlier, it's waaay more involved that I thought. A bunch of electrical, I guess depending on your house/situation. Anyways, the app is simple and awesome...

Got it. Thanks.

I tested my pool water and I already have about 3300 ppm salt from all the chlorine I've used over the past 4 years (never added salt). So I take it I don't need to add any salt before the salt system is installed. Can someone please verify? Also, my CYA is currently at 20, should I bump it...

The guy that came out to quote the install was a very cool guy. It's way more involved than I thought. He said that a check valve is required if I want the system to be warrantied. He is a certified Hayward Tech and said that if there is no check valve it's an instant denial if I have an...

Thanks for the help! I'll keep you posted.

Thanks @ajw22 . I couldn't find that. Maybe I could do one of these (crude drawing attached)?

So, I'm getting a quote for install of the HLBPLUS4W and wanted to know if this is enough space to install the Salt Cell if anybody knows. I'd just assume not have them charge me for a bunch of plumbing if it's unnecessary. The pipe with the arrows is where I think it needs to be installed and...

Sorry you're having this problem, I know how frustrating it can be. I actually refinished my pool about 4 years back and had a separate suction line put in the pool for my Kreepy Krauly. Things worked great for the first 6 months-ish... and then they didn't. I tried everything, every tweak...
