AquaRite installation: how hard is it?

Salt Water Chlorinators consume very little amp draw on a circuit and is recommend to be tied into the same pump relay or terminals. AutoPilot for one, has been installing salt systems integrated with the pump circuit for over 12 years. The only time we recommend a direct connection to the circuit breaker is if you are using the unit to control a circulation pump.
While there is a flow switch to protect and turn the swc off when there is insufficient flow, its a better precaution to not have to rely on it all the time. IF you were to have a failure that indicates that there is flow and the cell gets energized (with the pump off), you're sure to accumulate dangerous hydrogen gases.

I just completed a new pool install in March this year that included among other things an SWG. I had the ground leveled, pool frame & liner installed but I completed the plumbing, deck, fencing, landscaping and electrical installation.

If you can glue and measure PVC piping the plumbing is no big deal. The Aquarite had directional arrows telling you which way the water should flow thru the cell and flow switch.

The Electrical is more important. There are strict pool wiring codes provided by the NEC. It's important that the entire system be grounded and bonded. I used THWN/THHN wire for all of my 4 circuits. All are protected by GFCI breakers. There is a separate ground rod at the pump house and a bonding loop that connects, pump motor, pool frame, deck & Aquarite.
