    Answering just for the Pool Pilot, you do not want to interface the unit to communicate through the electronic control system as you will lose some of the key features of the Pool Pilot Digital. Specifically, Automatic Temperature Compensation and Salt amount display. What this means to you is that you will need to be as diligent in adjusting the Purifier % setting when temperatures change (the Pool Pilot does this for you).
    The Pool Pilot too, will have to be mounted as a separate system, as you mentioned the Intellichlor would need to be.
    This would be the same for anyone elses system, unless you go back with the replacment components from Goldline.

    So the PoolPilot would be a standalone system. I get that, but how would I get it to work? Right now, everything (Pump, salt, etc.) is controlled by the Aqualogic. If I went with a secondary, third party, salt system, how does salt system know when the pump is running etc.?

    You would connect the Pool Pilot to the same relay that controls the filter pump. Whenever it gets energized, the Pool Pilot would come on also.
    From there, you set the Purifier Output % to maintain the chlorine level you desire.
    Test your chlorine, set the % to 50% (as a starting point). Let it run a few days and retest your chlorine level. Readjust the % higher or lower, depending on your test result. Let it run a few days again and retest and readjust as needed.
    Once you're maintaining the your chlorine level, the automatic temperature compensation should help mainitain your chlorine levels for water temperature changes. That is, as it gets warmer, the % setting will increase automatically, and as it gets colder, the % setting will decrease automatically.
    The only times that you may need more chlorine is for inclimate weather or pool parties....or shocking the pool.
    You can use the BOOST button to do this, or you can add chlorine (bleach, tabs, or cal hypo).

    What is the chlorine output (lbs./day) of the various Pool Pilot cells (36, 48, 60)?
