SJ40 Salt Chlorine Generator
Works as directed and fast. Just put salt in my pool and after 2 runs of my pump my chlorine level is up to par. Tip; measure exactly how many gallons your pool contains before pouring in the salt per directions. I put in too much salt because I kind of guessed the gallons. My bad; had to drain the pool a bit and refill it.You can double check the salt level with Lesley's or other pool stores for free. The sale was a great deal; saved me $150,- compared with Amazon.com

Relatively easy
Installation was relatively easy. I really like the clear plastic around the salt cell, which allows for a visual inspection of the titanium plates. I would point out there is no digital read-out on the control panel that tells me ppm of salt, which my previous unit had. I will plan to buy a hand-held electronic device to test salinity with. However, it does let you know when the salinity level is no longer in range, and since its salinity operating range is so broad, maybe it doesn't really matter like on the old ones.

new system
The generator unit has been keeping the pool clean so no complaints. Wish it told you more specifics, how do I know my salt level isn't too high or low?

LESS THAN A CELL!
My pool company wanted more than what I paid for this for just the REPLACEMENT CELL!! I like this even better now.

Very Good
This unit installed pretty easily. Masonary bit to drill into cinder block wall, simple mounting of control, followed by some cutting and gluing of the PVC. About one hour to install. It took about 24 hours to bring the chlorine level from about 0 to 3 ppm using the super chlorination mode. So far, a great deal for the $.

Questions From Customers

Q: what is the difference between SJ & the RJ systems?

Asked by: Bill - 3/6/2017
A: Great question. Beside the main differences in power and lifespan, here are a few of the things that set them apart once they are in your hands:

The SJ models are very simple, easy-to-use systems. They have status lights that verify the unit is working, tell you at what power level it is set, and whether you need to clean the cell or add salt to the pool. Because it is simple there is less to think about, it is particularly low maintenance (no acid is required to clean the cell), and it is also less expensive.

The RJ and RJ+ models are the flagship systems. They are more powerful and longer lasting. They have a digital screen and touch keypad, giving you more control and diagnostics. It displays the salinity level in real time, calculates the running average, displays the water temperature, and displays the electronic performance levels of the cell so you can see exactly how things are working. The power levels on the RJ models can be turned up and down in smaller increments. RJ models also synchronize more easily with variable-speed pumps if you plan to upgrade.

So the SJ gives you simplicity and a huge value, and the RJ gives you top of the line performance and control.

Q: I have an above ground pool and my pump uses 110v power, will this work for me?

Asked by: Linda - 3/27/2017
A: Yes, this system can work with either 220v or 110v power. It is set at the factory to accept 220v, which is most common for pools. However, it is made so you can easily change it to accept 110v by following the printed directions. Unlike a motor, it won't work any better or worse on either voltage, you only want to match what your pump uses so they can work on the same circuit together.

Q: My pool is right at about 20,000 gallons according to my calculations. Will the sj-20 be be able to produce enough chlorine keep my pool clear running approximately 8-10 hours a day in the Dallas Tx. area?

Asked by: Charles - 5/9/2017
A: No, the sizes of salt chlorinators are listed at their absolute MAXIMUM rating, so you would want to look at the next larger size at least. The larger the system, the longer it will last, the better experience you'll have with it, and the more bang for the buck you'll get.

Q: What is required for installation on an inground pool with existing chlorinator? Also, exactly where on the pool plumbing is it installed? And level of expertise required for installation? Thanks!

Asked by: Alicia - 5/4/2017
A: You will replace you existing chlorinator with this system. Installation is fairly basic, many people do it themselves in about an hour. You will glue the cell in the plumbing after the pump and filter (where your chlorinator is), and hang the control​ box nearby. You can also easily call for support with any questions.

Q: Is it self cleaning ? Where are the plates made?

Asked by: bruce - 3/21/2018
A: Yes, like all modern systems, the SJ series is self cleaning, also called reverse-polarity. Additionally, it is one of the few models out there that doesn't require any acid at all to clean the cell, which can make things much easier on you.

Q: what is minumin water flow needed for the sj 20 to work?

Asked by: mark - 11/16/2017
A: The minimum flow varies with a few particulars for your pool, but most salt systems need around 20-30 gpm. It's easy with this system, because the cell is clear. The whole goal is just to make sure the cell filled with water when your pump is running, which is not typically an issue unless there is a pump problem, or you use a very low-flow pump.

Q: I have a 10000 gal pool and was looking at SJ-15 up to max 16000 gala, what are pro cons of upgrading to SJ-20?

Asked by: georgia bankston - 2/21/2018
A: You always want to over-size as much as possible within your budget. A larger system just means that you will get more for your money, have a better experience with your pool, and make your equipment last longer. There really isn't much of a downside.

Q: What will I need to connect this to my Hayward pool filter system?

Asked by: jess - 2/21/2018
A: Really the only thing you need besides this system is a couple of 90 degree elbow PVC fittings that you will get from the hardware store. It doesn't typically matter what brand pump and filter you already have, this just goes in addition to them in the plumbing.

Designed for Outdoor Installation and Operation

The CircuPool SJ-35 system is controlled by the Control Module. Featuring a convenient medium size, molded-plastic exterior with a touch keypad and LED indicators to monitor settings and performance.

The control module mounts conveniently on most walls, posts, or supports. Just follow the accompanying instructions and mounting template for screw placements and installation.

The digital LED indicators on your control module will communicate whether or not your system is operating at optimum performance levels, and will otherwise alert you with its LED indicators for potential service issues such as: the pool's salt level is low, the cell needs cleaning, there is insufficient water flow, or it the water has reached winter temperatures. Keypad controls will also give you the ability to increase or decrease chlorine output, or activate a boost (or SuperCL) mode.

For the cell component of your CircuPool SJ-35 unit, it comes equipped with an SJ-35 electrolytic cell in a clear, raised housing. This contains a set of titanium electrode plates that can be removed, as well as a built-in power supply cord.

Thanks to its unique design, the SJ-35 has a reduced need for cleaning mineral deposits that may occur, which makes it one of the few systems that do not require acid for cell cleaning. You can easily remove the mineral deposits with the cleaning wand included in your system’s kit!

This cell also features threaded connections near the head of the cell, so you can quickly access the titanium plates whenever you need to service them, or if you need to take them out for winter. The cell comes with both 2” and 1.5” unions to easily connect to existing return-line PVC plumbing. The clear housing on the cell makes it easy to inspect for both cleaning and function purposes!

Included in the CircuPool SJ-35 parts kit is an instruction manual, 2" and 1.5" plumbing unions, o-rings, mounting hardware, flow switch, and cleaning wand.
