Buy it. You've found the one.
This unit has no competition. Buy it. I put it in in about 20 minutes. Half hour if you wire it into timer instead of plugging in. It's An all in one unit. No complications, no guessing. The cell inside is always visible and simple to replace. This system is so much more advanced than what else is out there. I replaced a Hayward aquarite system that always have me problems with this. I haven't had one hiccup since. Buy it. You won't regret it. And the customer service from discount salt pool is phenomenal. When I called to check on my order the owner answered. Said he could have any system he wanted in his own pool. He chose this one. Need I say more?

Our conversion to salt pool
We recently purchased a home with a 16 x 32 inground pool. My wife wanted to convert the chlorine pool to a salt pool. After much internet research regarding the best salt generators, we decided on purchasing the CORE 55. Much larger capacity generator than we need, but we only need to set the control panel to 25% production and it keeps our chlorine level perfect. Our install was a little bit more complicated since we had to remove a large inline chlorine tablet feeder and also needed to increase the pvc piping. Also installed an electrical outlet in a waterproof box but was able to connect to an existing GFI outlet about 10 feet away, so that made the electrical problem a minor one. So glad we purchased the CORE salt generator. Worth the slightly higher price compared to the competition but the easy install, the 8 year warranty and the lower cost for a replacement salt cell when the time comes more than make up for the difference in price. We would highly recommend the CORE salt generator products to family and friends.

So far so good
Ive just converted my pool to a saltwater pool. I added 800 lbs salt to my 25,000 gallon pool and plugged in this circupool core 55. I let it run on the lowest setting from 10am to 6pm with the variable speed pump running at a slow flow (1200 rpms). So far I've went to the pool store twice in one month to check my pool chemical levels and chlorine is spot on salt levels at 3200 ppm and been swimming 4 times with pool temp at 70 degrees. At about 900 rpms the circupool detects low flow so i keep it at 1200. I went with the larger cell (core55) vs (core35) because same price and thought the cell would last longer on a lower setting. We will see if I'm right.

Great unit, very happy
I opted for the Core 55 unit and love it so far. Took half hour to install. I'm in Indiana and have only had the pool open a couple weeks and it's working flawlessly. I've has a couple of Hayward units that worked OK but the boards go bad after about a year. Only thing I would like to see on it is a display showing the salt reading instead of a low level light.

Excellent Chlorinator!!!
On the advice of the discountsaltpool rep, I chose to buy this Chlorinator because of the ease of install, simple design, features, and warranty. Install was indeed simple and straightforward, and operating the device is too. After having it running in my newly converted salt pool for four days, all is going great! I appreciate the advice from the customer service team and will look to Discountsaltpool.com for my future needs.

Questions From Customers

Q: If using a variable speed pump which uses its on control board, how does the Salt generator come on and detect that the pump is on if it is connected to an external GFCI outlet?

Asked by: FK - 12/29/2019
A: The system uses a flow switch to activate itself and deactivate itself depending on when your pump is programmed to start/stop. This is standard for most newer salt chlorine generators.

Q: Do you have the 1.5” reducers? My lines are 1.5”

Asked by: Shannon - 1/19/2020
A: That is something you would want to get at the hardware store - its an off-the-shelf item and very cheap.

Q: How long is power chord? Also my unit comes out of the pool heater and runs parallel to ground. Will I need to raise this line to install . I can send pics if needed. Pool is 46k gallons. in ground

Asked by: Doug Chapin - 3/4/2020
A: The power cord is about 6ft, and can easily be extended if needed. I would estimate needing about 3-4" of space below the piping for the tail of this unit to extend down, so if your return pipe is sitting right on the ground you'd want to lift it just a bit.

Q: Can the CORE35 be used for an above ground pool?

Asked by: Chris - 5/27/2019
A: Yes, the CORE models are used frequently on above ground pools. The only difference for some people is your plumbing size, which can be adapted if needed with standard PVC adapter fittings from your local hardware store.

Asked by: Amanda - 6/29/2019

Q: Is a bypass fitting available for this unit? If not, can I build my own using the male ends from standard 2" pvc unions?

Asked by: Marc - 12/30/2019
A: Yes there is a cap that you can order that lets you take out the cell cartridge and control head. The threads on the male housing unions for the plumbing isn't likely to have an off-the-shelf match.

Q: What are the main differences between the RJ-30 Plus and Core-35 (aside from size and warranty)?

Asked by: Jason - 1/8/2020
A: Great question. The CORE is the most compact, easy to use, & easy to install system with more advanced electronics and sensors. Its control module, cell, and flow switch are all integrated into a single unit (which you can take apart easily for service or replacement). The RJ models have will give you lots of power and lifespan (the two most important things) for the money, and have long been a customer favorite. Its controller hangs on the wall, and it does have lots of different settings and diagnostics. Its cell and controller get installed independently in the plumbing. Let us know if you have more questions or just call for faster service.

The Control Module for the CircuPool CORE-35 salt unit is a weatherproof unit integrated inline with the cell, with a touch sensitive control keypad and LED indicators. Digital controls will display your current settings and chosen chlorine output.

You can increase or decrease chlorine output through the Control Module, or activate a chlorine boost. The advanced system diagnostics will alert you when you need to add more salt or clean the cell. These diagnostics also provide information about the water flow, cell replacement, and Control Module electronics status.

The CircuPool CORE-35 Control Module also comes standard with a built-in power supply cord, with 110V plug for easy installation. The digital switch-mode power supply automatically converts 220V, allowing for direct wiring to a timer, relay, or other power source. The Control Module is mounted to the cell with a threaded connection that allows for easy removal during service.

The CORE cell housing also comes with threaded connections on each end and 2” slip-fittings unions which will attach to the existing return-line PVC plumbing. The clear cell housing makes it easy to see the chlorine generation process in action or to check inside the cell before servicing it.
