Do Acid Feeders exist for salt water pools

I expect once he gets the levels right (including borates) it will not really be an issue. I bet a floater would require maintenance more often than he will have to add acid; although I'm guessing since I've never used a floater.

Exactly!!!! I have to adjust my pH about every 2 months or so..Not a lot of work. There is no need for a trichlor feeder. And yes, I do shut everything down when I go on vacation and because of the borate return to a pool that, at worst, had been slightly cloudy. I just shock with bleach before I go and again when I come back and I am swimmable in a day or two! If the recommendations posted for SWCG water balance are followed pH rise is basically a non issue.

Trichlor would actually be more work and expense, why pay for it when you have a SWCG anyway?

I would recommend trichlor IF you have new plaster that is still curing but once it does (or in a fiberglass or vinyl pool) there is really no reason to use it.
