Re: Need new salt opinion
Only you know if it is. But do yourself a favor: If you do it, don't go low-end. It will drive you crazy. Also, be sure to get a cell with a bigger capacity than your pool. A cell rated for a 20,000 gallon pool would be my guess for a minimum. Also, even though you can shock with your SWCG ("Boost" setting), don't. Your cell will live longer. Most manufacturers recommend a higher CYA/Stabilizer level of 60-80ppm. You should plan on maintaining a chlorine level of at least 5% of the CYA level.
PoolSean is one of very best experts on SWCG systems.

Re: Need new salt opinion
If it's the soft water feel you are looking for you can always add the salt and continue to chlorinate with bleach.

Re: Need new salt opinion
It's not the water softness just looking for the best way to chlorinate. A lot of people are going for salt systems and I am just figuring out the costs as I may be going on vacations for 2 weeks each. I guess I could hire a pool company to check my levels or just put tons of bleach to put the pool at super high ch levels till I return
