Most Helpful Review
"We have a 5,000 gallon pool, and we had the smaller ECO 5110 before (for pools up to 7,000 gallons); it had to run four to six hours per day to keep up, and we had to replace the electrodes every couple of years. Now we have the ECO 6110 (for pools up to 15,000 gallons) and this more powerful model is MUCH better. The bigger chlorinator keeps it perfect by running only one or sometimes two hours per day. Even after a heavy rain it stays in control. At this rate, it should last for many years.IMPORTANT: A salt water chlorinator is fouled by calcium! That white scale that fouls your electrodes is calcium carbonate, and the calcium comes from the solid, white, powdered SHOCK, which is CALCIUM hypochlorite. If you have a vinyl pool (not a cee-ment pond), then you don't NEED no stinkin' calcium. DON'T use that stuff! Instead, use ordinary liquid household bleach, or the slightly more concentrated version sold as pool sanitizer, which is SODIUM hypochlorite. The liquid bleach won't foul your chlorinator and it destroys algae as well or better than the solid stuff. (Take that advice from an old chemist.)"

This is amazing. So easy to turn my above ground pool into a salt water system. To get accuracy on the salt level readings, it is important to let your sand filter run for 15 minutes before turning on the salt water system. My sand filter is set 7 hours and my salt system is set for 6. it is important to start the salt 15 minutes after the sand filter and run the sand filter for an hour after the salt turns off. Built in timers allow them to come on at the same time each day. My pool is still crystal clear and close to being closed for the winter.toni

I’ve been through four of the saltwater generators and this is the only one that has worked so far. Very pleased with it. My pool was perfect this year.What Customers Talk About
