    A friend of mine uses an AutoPilot unit (I’ll ask which model). He hasn’t mentioned having any issues with it.

    https://autopilot.com/

    I see they offer cells rated up to 80,000 gallons.

    Another option is to run 2 units.

    Hey wishIcould,

    Yes, JimK is correct. I'm on my 4th season with the AutoPilot with the RC42 cell (42k gallon pool), and it's still running beautifully. To be honest, it was a bit tricky in the beginning, but once I got the hang of it, it's been a good choice for out pool.

    I think either one Aqua Rite or AutoPilot is a good choice. I have not seen many complaints about either. I have seem quite a few complaints about the Pentair Intellichlor which was what our pool builder recommended.

    In your above post you recommend the Haywood ARQ15. The link take me to the page on Amazon which has 2 versions of the system. They show ARQ15 and the W3ARQ15. I have searched and searched and cannot find out what the difference is. However the W3ARQ15 is almost twice the cost of the ARQ15. Do you happen to know the difference? I am looking to purchase a salt system, so any help you can give will be appreciated.

    I'm afraid I don’t know the difference. Perhaps contact Hayward? I see this on the Hayward site, but it doesn’t explain the difference.

    Google turned up nothing.
