Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Goldline AQ-TROL-RJ, Aqua Trol Above-Ground Chlorinator Return Jet Fitting, Straight Blade, Line Cord and Outlet. The Aqua Trol Electronic Chlorine Generator (also known as a salt chlorinator) is designed specifically for Above-Ground pools up to 18,000-Gallon. The Aqua Trol has all the same functions and features of the Aqua Rite but with a lower chlorine output. The Aqua Trol also has an integral time clock for control of the pool filtration pump. Since many Above-Ground pools already have a single electrical outlet for the filter pump, the Aqua Trol is designed with an outlet (timer controlled LED.) for the filter pump to plug into, the Aqua Trol then plugs into the original outlet the filter pump was using. The savings on chlorine and electrical power alone (if the pump was previously running 24 hours), will have the Aqua Trol paying for itself in just a few short years. The Aqua Trol system typically installs in less than 30 minutes and is very easy to operate. This model is equipped with a return jet fitting, featuring a "straight blade" line cord and outlet.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have an above ground 24' x 4' pool. I was hesitant to switch from chlorine to salt, just because I've had so many headaches with my pool, that adding on another machine seemed daunting. More parts means, more places to leak or malfunction. Last year we got a new pool installed by professionals, but they hooked my filter up wrong (switched the hoses around) and busted my filter. That was at least $150 to fix plus the time and aggravation of it all.
This unit sat in a box for a couple of weeks and I got stressed out every time I looked at it, thinking of all that could go wrong. Do I sound like a pool owner yet? Anyway, a few days ago my husband and I finally took it out of the box and hooked everything up. We had everything we needed, but I read the instructions and it says to put 1 qt of metal remover and 1 qt of metal-free algae remover in to balance the water chemistry, plus I figured out how much salt we needed and got that. So I went to the pool store and got those and put those 3 things in but nothing else. As I feared, there were leaks around the cell, but we fixed them by lining the inside of the PVC with silicone. I recommend having the silicone handy because it works wonders with leaks! We probably had it going in about an hour, but there were two of us working and we were also hooking the pump and filter up because we were just opening the pool, so some of that time was for the regular opening stuff. It really isn't too bad to hook up.
I ran it with the generator OFF for 24 hours, like it says, then turned it on. Checked the water and no chlorine. I saw my stabilizer was low and I had some of that cyanuric acid to put in so I did. Still no chlorine. I started getting nervous that it wasn't working and called Hayward. They were very good and helpful. She took me through a series of tests and determined that my unit was working fine, that it's probably my water chemistry. She suspected phosphates or nitrates. I took a water sample to my local pool store, which you should do from the get go, and sure enough, my phosphates are through the roof! She said to put 2 pounds of shock to break up the phosphates and gave me some phosphate remover. I'll update this review when I have more info. I just want to put this out there for people who feel overwhelmed by it all. You're not alone!
