I have a 24' Discovery 100% resin above ground pool that I'm looking into upgrading to salt. Anyone have any recommendations on a reasonable priced user friendly salt water system that would be a good choice?

For the price, not sure you can beat the Intex version. The larger version is for pools up to 15,000 gallons. All you would need is 2 Intex Hose Adapter A with Collar to make it work with any 1.5" hose.
There is also an over wall unit for slightly larger pools that is reasonably priced on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Solaxx-CLG10A-Cleaning-Generator-Aboveground/dp/B003WLU1J4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1498948560&sr=8-8&keywords=saltwater+generator

If you are looking for something more permanent the Circupool or Aquarite are good ones. Get a cell rated 2-3x your pool size so you don't have to run your pump 23x7 to make chlorine.
Yea I definitely don't want to run the pump 24x7. Right now I run the pump about 8 hrs a day.
My 22' x 52" is only requiring 6 hours of SWG per day using the Intex 15,000 gallon model to keep me at Cl of 6
Nice. Yes, plenty of folks chlorinating with the intex SWG. It works well but only lasts 2 or 3 seasons usually. You can also find them cheap on close out at big box stores like Target and Academy at the end of the season.
Absolutely. That's where I got my pool, INTEX sand filter and pump, and SWG last fall. Saved almost $400 off them combined vs what they are selling for in May or June.
