The Pool Pilot Digital with PPC4 salt cell is technologically advanced. It controls feature a microprocessor digital display, giving diagnostics of pool water temperature, current salt level, chlorine production level, and allowing a soft-reverse cell cleaning cycle and boost cycle. The VFD digital display on the control unit can be read easily and even tells you how much salt to add if the salinity level ever gets low enough. The Pool Pilot Digital has a patented temperature compensation feature that actually adjusts chlorine production according to the demands of the water temperature, and operates in water temperatures up to 104F. It has a built-in time clock to control your pool pump...all at the touch of a button. For pools up to 60,000 gallons. (Equivalent to older RC-52 and SC-60 models)
General FAQ
These saltwater chlorine generator systems come with everything you need except salt, PVC glue, primer, a saw, and a few common tools.
In addition to adding salt to your pool water, installation entails adding one new piece of equipment to your pool. This can be performed by a handyman, plumber, electrician, pool contractor or Do-It-Yourself (DIY).
If you are contemplating installation, read more here.
The simple, industry-wide, rule-of-thumb is that your salt system should be sized at 1.5 times your pool size, or more, for the temperate and colder parts of the US.
If you live in the southern sunbelt, then you should select a system with specs of at least 2 times your pool size.
Bear in mind that an undersized system will be a constant challenge, at best, while an oversized system will extend cell life and give you reserve capacity for weather events and periods of heavy use.

The Autopilot Digital Power Supply is a large moulded-plastic box with a backlit alpha-numeric VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display) screen and keypad controls. It mounts on the wall (or nearby a post or support) by hanging the control box by a few keyholes on basic screws that have been secured in the wall according to the paper mounting template provided. The digital display screen shows the current time, the chosen percentage chlorine output, and temperature. The keypad controls allow you to enter the menu system, activate the boost (24 hours) or superboost (72 hours) mode. The menu system will display the current salinity, amount of salt needed to reach the ideal salinity level, and cell power diagnostics, Additional system programming is available to users who want to access more in-depth system settings. The Digital Power Supply can also control the circulation pump equipment.
The Autopilot Digital PPC-Series Electrolytic Cell is a part of a raised manifold plumbing system (see pictures). The salt cell contains built-in titanium electrode plates and detachable power supply cord. The salt cell has threaded connections on the inlet and outlet, which allow quick access for service or winter removal (if applicable). Included with the cell in the manifold plumbing is a strainer, to catch any impurities that may have made it past the filter, and a bypass flow regulator, to divert only a portion of the water coming from the pump to go through the salt cell. Autopilot claims that this increases the chlorination efficiency.
The Autopilot Digital PPC-Series comes with its plumbing manifold system, with Tri-Sensor, Bypass Valve, in-line strainer, cell cord, and instruction manual.
