Comments about Hayward Hayward Aqua Trol Above Ground Salt System AQ-TROL-RJ:
Purchased this a year ago from this supplier. Very good product! Was able to maintain a consistent level of chlorine finally on my 24' above ground pool after 15 years of pucks & liquid chlorine/bleach. No more wild swings of free chlorine & no more algae problems. Do check your salt level before adding initial salt, as mine was 800 already. You will overshoot on salt level otherwise. Depending on T/A level, PH may creep up, (normal for all SCG) so weekly monitoring PH & additions of acid may be required. After one season of use, I don't have anything negative to say about it. Along with my AquaCritter, this is the best thing I have purchased in my 16 years of having my pool.

[...]Best price on-line or at brick and mortar. Cell had a small leak along one of the joints. I discovered this 10 minutes after it was all installed. I removed it for fear of it splitting completely and emptying my pool. I called Hayward direct. Had replacement cell at my front door [...] Amazing customer service from manufacturer. One question I had that was not answered in instructions was which end was up or down. Hayward service told me it didn't matter. But wish that was stated in the manual. Once new cell was installed. The unit is up and running like a dream. This is a great unit and one I highly recommend.

Took about 30 minutes to set up. If you already have chemicals in the pool, we recommend putting less salt in to begin with, it's easier to add than take out. Follow directions on the back of the instructions to balance chemicals in water. Wasn't aware we needed more than just salt. Take a sample of your water to a pool store have them check balance, they will direct you from there! We love it, would recommend and wish we would have put it in sooner! Pool & Spa supply was easy to work with and very accommodating. We will purchase from them again.

I put the salt in 24 hrs prior and installed in 30 minutes as stated. It started working perfectly! My only concern was there are no directions on how to use the timer or the diagnostic button. I had to download the owner's manual online.[...]
