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.

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.

Better than expected
Easy installation and works better than expected. I started with new water with no chlorine and the next day my chlorine was a bit high and I had to back off the setting. It is working very good.

No regrets
Easy to install. Amazing not having to worry about the chlorine level anymore. My 36,000 gallon pool used a TON of chlorine this year (nitrates, phosphate issues). Now the pump is set to 12 hours a day and so 12 hours of 75% chlorine production with this CORE55. Perfect chlorine levels. Love it.

Questions From Customers

Q: When used while plugged into a 110 outlet, do you need to unplug it before the pool pump cycles off or is it ok to leave it plugged in? Will the flow sensor be ok to turn the unit off and on?

Asked by: Rich - 3/24/2020
A: If you plug it in to an outlet, then yes the flow switch will activate/deactivate it according to when the pump is running or not.

Q: What is the cell cleaning process, is muriatic acid used like cleaning the intelichlor generator

Asked by: Steve - 5/17/2020
A: Similar. You mix up the weak acid solution (1 part acid, four parts water) in the cleaning vessel that comes with this system. Then you simply lower this system's cell down into the cleaning vessel where you can let it soak until all mineral scaling is dissolved.

Q: does the placement height matter in relation to the height of the filter and or heater inlet and outlet? Some chlorinators state the chlorinator must be higher than the heater filter inlet /outlet. My current tablet feeder is low on the equipment pad and I am looking to convert to a salt water pool. With that in mind, can this chlorinator take the place of my tablet feeder? Thank you

Asked by: Robbie - 5/14/2020
A: No, this model's height in relation to the filter/heater does not matter. It is a very similar size to most tablet feeders, and you want to put it in the same place, making it the last thing the water goes through before going back to thepool.

Q: Does this item need to come off of the plumbing during the winter?

Asked by: Katie - 5/25/2019
A: Good question- no you don't. Like any of your pool equipment, you would just need to protect your plumbing from damage due to freezing water.

Q: Is this chlorination reliable? We are replacing a Pentair. Can the Circupool 55 use the same power source as the Pentair IC - 40?

Asked by: Alex Floyd - 6/4/2019
A: Yes, I've had experience with it and I can tell you it's a very well made unit. This model automatically converts either 220v it 110v power, so yes you can hook it up to a timer or pump controls like the Pentair, or even easier just plug it into an outlet if one's available.

Q: can this system be used on above ground pools?

Asked by: Raymond - 7/1/2019

Q: I currently have a 40,000gal below ground chlorine pool and would like to switch to salt system but I just had to replace my Hayward filter tank. Can I still use the same filter tank with a salt system or would I have to get a new one?

Asked by: Marcus - 6/23/2020
A: You do not need to replace your current filter or pump, the salt chlorinator just goes in addition to your existing equipment.
