Hi all,
I just bought a house in November that had a pool. I am new to the pool world but learning tonnes.

I have a Zodiac Duoclear 60 salt system that seems to have died. I have all the symptoms of a dead electrode. Replacement of the electrode is $400 but i also have a small leak in the system that needs to be repaired. It looks like the previous homeowner tried to fix it but didn’t do a great job.

I am faced with a few options.
1) Replace the electrode and re-repair the base unit. The system has a nature2 cartridge. The dealer recommended this heavily but i see reviews on this forum are mixed.
2) Replace the salt system with another without Nature 2. There are some systems locally that i can pick up for 700.
3) replace the Duoclear with the latest model including the Nature2. My current cartridge can be used to finish out the season and the included one will get me through the next. 1260 was the quote for this unit.

Any advice would he greatly appreciated.

I have a 16x32 kidney pool
Approx 17000 gallons/65000 liters
