Guess I'm going to have to dig a little deeper. The builder isn't familiar with the AutoPilot either, so I may pass on this one. It may be out of my price range anyway if you have to purchase the both the Pool Pilot and the Manifold.

autopilot.com may be of some help. They have dealers all over.

Re: Salt Water Chlorine Generator for New Pool Build
I just sent an email to them. Apparently they don't have any "authorized dealers" here in Colorado. Can't blame them, I don't think we're is a big pool state. I'll keep searching the internet to see what I can find in the meantime.Originally Posted by CarlD

I got mine from a dealer on the Gulf, not in NJ.

Re: Salt Water Chlorine Generator for New Pool Build
I will save that for a last resort. I think I'm going to give Autopilot a couple of days to answer. Not in a hurry...at the moment. Out of curiosity, do you get snow/freezing temps where you live? Do you drain everything for winter?
Re: Salt Water Chlorine Generator for New Pool Build
Oh, yeah. I get about a foot of ice, minimum, on top of my pool water. I drain below my skimmer and the return ports for the winter.

Re: Salt Water Chlorine Generator for New Pool Build
The reason I ask is that we requested that our spa be usable year round. I'm just not sure how that's going to be possible with the winters we have. We've had sprinkler pipes crack in early spring. We're planning on enclosing the equipment with a shed or something but I'm not sure that will even work. Hopefully the builder has done this before and I'm just worrying over nothing. Do you know of anyone that has the spa open year round with freezing temps?
At any rate, I did a little more digging on the AutoPilot, and from what I can figure out, a power supply will be necessary, what they’re calling the Pool Pilot Digital or the Soft Touch along with the Manifold. For our setup, the cost will be about $1400 to $1500 (lowest prices I could find). Wee bit out of my league so I think I’m going to go with the Aqua Rite.
Thank you, and JimK, again for all your help. Couple of days and 2 biggies off my list.
On to the next inquiry. Any suggestions on robotic cleaners?
