Re: copper and Salt Water Generator
You're much better off with all PVC. Copper is less forgiving with high chlorine and salt levels and can result in erosion/corrosion of the copper. Most likely you'll see the effects in the solder joints first.
I've done several Pool Pilot systems with older copper piped pools, without problems. Same with stainless steel filters, but stainless steel seems to be a little more durable.
Not quite sure what "soft copper" is. A heater's heat exchanger is typically cupric nickle, a combination of copper and nickle to allow for more chemical resistance than just copper.
My recommendation is to replace the copper with PVC. You'll have less problems down the road.
