Intex Salt System on an inground pool?

Sorry to bump this again, but it is almost July and the cover is still on. Hopefully, next week sometime. So the stock Intex is not big enough, how much capacity do I really need? Anybody have a favorite SWCG or are they pretty much the same?

The consensus is that the AutoPilot Pool Pilot or Digital Nano series, or the Hayward AquaRite / Goldline systems are preferable.

You should get the largest unit you can afford and turn it down, since SWCG life is a direct function of 'ON' time. On average, a unit that operates 1000 hours per year will last 1/2 as long as unit that operates 500 hours per year, but system cost does NOT double, as output doubles.

Bumping my really old thread.

So I never got around to doing anything about this and with a summer at home starting up, I had a few more questions.

So the Intex is definitely a no go. What about the smaller Hayward's like the Salt & swim 3C which says it's good for inground pools up to 30,000 gallons, which I believe would double the size of my pool.
There doesn't seem to be much info here about them.

Thoughts anyone?
