What water flow rate is required for this heat pump? Can it be used with a salt water chlorine generator?

Not sure the flow rate specs but it works fine when running on my low pump setting.

Not sure about salt water system, but I do not think so. If chlorine gen is used, it must be placed after the heater. Don't know the water flow rate, but it works well even if the filter needs backwashing. I truly like this heater, much better than my previous heater without thermostat control. Very fast to reach desired temp, too.

I run a 3/4 hp pump with this heater and the pressure has never been an issue. I also run a chlorine generator . This unit has a titanium core and is not affected by salt. The heater needs to be installed between the filter and the chlorine generator.

I have it hooked up to a 1 HP motor and have an Ionizer system to help reduce the need of chorine. Do not think there should be any problem using salt water as the tubing is plastic and will not oxidize. Have not filled the started the heater as yet, as I am stilling in the finishing stages. Am pumped about the system; will inform once it is operational and am swimming in upstream in warm water.

Yes, there would be no issue with using it with a salt water pool. The only thing would be that you would need to use a Scalewatcher 5 star unit due to the fact that it is outside. You cannot use the 3 star for outdoor use.

Hi, We are on year 3 with this pool. It has held up well. We live in Fl. The pool pump salt chlorinator did stop working this year. My husband did some work to it bit it is not working. We will be looking to replace it this year. It runs on a 110.

Go to Steinbeckeltron.com and then select the unit you desire. There will be all the info you need. Normal heating would include standard water flow from well pump or water service from town/ city. About 2 _ 4 gpm

The chiller needs 260-660 gph pumped thru it. As long as ur sump can pump that amount of water your good. Fantastic chiller too!! Hope this helps

You don't need a heater. In fact if you read some of the forums related to saltwater you will find that most people have heat issues with the lights and pump.

This heater is made for all pool types. The salinity levels in salt water pools is very low (3600ppm-3900ppm) and will not harm the stainless steel heat exchanger. Just be sure you follow the directions and install the salt cell AFTER the heater, so super chlorinated water will not flow thru the heater. Above all else, be sure to balance your water. Out of balance water will cause damage to any heater and any pool surface, and make all your equipment work harder and lower it's life span.

I don't have a salt water pool so I cannot answer your question. My last one ran for 14 years with my chlorine pool.

I just installed one of these pumps and I used one, 100 watt panel wired directly to the pump. It operates just fine, only runs when the sun is just right on the panel but where I am in Calif. it operates for about 4 hours this time of year and probably will run longer in the summer. It also pumps about 1.6 gal. per min. which is very adequate for my use. The 4 amp at 24 volts is the max amount of amps that the pump will handle.. I think my panel put out a max of 2.6 amps. Hope this helps. I opted not to use batteries, just more upkeep and expense.

That is just the model number not GPH. The flow rate for the 1200 is 315 gallons per hour and that is true flow rate not like marineland who boasts a 360 gph rate that is( by their own spec's) actually only 220. Hand down the penn plax is by far a better pump. I have 5 of them after going through fluval, marineland, API.

I can't see why not because it's meant for things like that. However when you say chlorine generator. Idk if it should be mixed with chlorine but I could be wrong.

Only the manufacture could tellbyou for sure, however; if the varying voltage is significantly different between the two pumps I personaly won't chance it for safety concerns...., electrical overload can cause fires especially around salt water.

I think it would be okay with the chlorinated water, but the volume is low, I don't think it would help for heating the water. It is not meant for high volume. I would suggest a sump pump type pump instead. Hope this helps.

I do not know. I do not have a salt water pool. It would be best to ask the manufacturer. I was well pleased with the item.

Yes, you absolutely can and should be doing so. If you look at the specifications, the pool filtration process is longer than the chlorination process. On a daily basis the pool filter pump should be running longer than the salt water chlorinator. The water passes through the salt water chlorinator but without the electric charge it is just doing that, passing through.

I use this with an Intex salt water pump. I don't have any problems with it.

The one I put in was rated for 240vac at up to 10amps, normal running I am only drawing about 1.5amps and running at 1700rpmThis is a very quiet running pump, you have to be standing right next to it to hear it run, very happy with it. It was very easy to install if you know electricity at all, I have the veriable speed, which you can program easily to set minimum and maximum speeds, good instruction manual with it, draws way less electricity than old one.
