AquaRite by GoldLine Salt Chlorinator

[ShelleyAnn]

We are about to purchase our first AG pool. At the "store" the other day, they recommended staying away from salt systems in AG pools due to problems they've seen with grounding and bonding. Seems they have a customer whose salt system keeps eating all the metal in the pool because it's not grounded correctly. I must admit to not understanding everything she was saying, but it was good enough to scare me away from a salt system.

Does anyone have any comments on this? I'd really like to start with the best system and know I have a much better chance of doing that if I listen to all the knowledgeable people in the forum who have done that/been there!

Thanks

One thing I can tell you is that there is an SWG by Goldline/Hayward made specifically for AG pools. It's called Aquatrol, I believe. I'm not sure what the difference is, but the cheapest place seems to be ebay. I just bought the inground version for my new gunite pool on ebay for about $400, b/c my builder wanted $1200 to add it to the aqualogic system which I was already getting. A little long winded here, but the aquatrol is the one you want to look for, for AG pools. Lots of info on Goldline's site . . .
