CircuPool RJ45+ Complete Salt Water Chlorination System for Swimming Pools,Titanium Cell,No DIY Install Penalty.

Starting another pool season, so I thought it would be a good time to reflect on last year. Our previous "salt" system was a nightmare. I'm pretty sure it wasn't working at all. We were having to add liquid chlorine several times a month. Finally bit the bullet and changed to the CircuPool. Awesome choice! We didn't add any chlorine at all last year. "Wish I knew" before I installed: I tried to "protect" the cell by mounting it under the deck. Bad idea. You have to disconnect the cell to clean it (typically a couple times per month) so put it somewhere easy to get to and put valves on both sides to make cleaning much easier. Also, go ahead and order the cleaning stand thing. One last thing. This year, for whatever reason, the critters decided to chew the wires for both the flow switch and cell. Had to call tech support for the cell and they were awesome.

Easy to install and mount. Took all of 30 minutes From beginning to end. I will update later on how it runs. Initial start up and operation seemed fine.

Great product, fairly easy to install if everything is already plumbed. Everything with it is straightforward, functions as expected and will save you a ton over chlorine in the long-run. I would have given it a 5-star rating but for a few shortcomings: 1. Why on earth would they sell you a product, recommend that you clean it in muriatic acid possibly 1-2 times a year and not ship with the cleaning cap??? Without the cap, they recommend cleaning in a 5-gallon bucket, which is quite wasteful and ends up with ~5 gallons of 20% solution to dispose of vs. <1 gallon with the cap. It already costs quite a bit, so adding the cap would be trivial. But no, they want you to buy is from them for $30+ (not available on Amazon). You usually won't find this out until you need to clean it and then it's too late to order & wait for it for that time. 2. There is already a rudimentary computer on it, why the heck isn't there a timer function built-in for the end user to use? Makes no sense. Had to resort back to old-school wheel timer that fortunately hadn't been removed. RTCs are cheap and there's already constant power. 3. For the cost, there should be some basic BT or WiFi built-in for monitoring and reporting. Sure, if you don't want to develop an app that's understandable, but if the feed is there someone will develop it. A simple read-only data stream is all that's needed, that way the end user can get a quick look for problems and address as quickly as they can. Other than these items (especially the missing cleaning cap!), I would say you get a pretty good product for the cost. Since the manufacturer might read this, it would also be nice to have a pH meter on the device to make it more automated and easier for the end user to adjust... heck, then the controller itself could adjust the voltage dynamically and just inform the user.

I’ve been using the CircuPool RJ45+ Salt Water Chlorination System for six months, and I couldn’t be happier. This system works perfectly—exactly as advertised. I’ve had other systems in the past, but none have come close to the reliability and performance of this one. What truly sets CircuPool apart is their outstanding customer service. As someone new to working on my pool systems, I decided to install the unit myself. While the installation instructions were clear, I made a small mistake and couldn’t figure out what went wrong. When I called customer service, an actual human answered and walked me through the fix step-by-step in just minutes. The person assisting me had personal experience with the same model and was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. What blew me away even more was their follow-up. A few weeks later, John from their team called me to check in and make sure the system was running smoothly. This level of care is rare and refreshing. Not only is the product excellent, but the customer service truly goes above and beyond. I’ve already recommended CircuPool to friends with pools, and I’ll continue to sing their praises. If you’re considering a saltwater system, you can’t go wrong with CircuPool. Trust me—you’ll have an amazing experience with both the product and the team behind it!

I've been using the RJ45+ since 2012 on a 20k gallon pool. The first one I bought was a refurbished one directly from Circupool. It came with a 3 year limited warranty and lasted about that long, but they still worked with me to replace it with another refurbished one. The second one lasted close to 7 years with one cell replacement during that time. Because it worked so well and was so easy to maintain, I finally decided I was going to buy a brand new one off of Amazon. Unfortunately, the cell went out after 2.5 years, but again the support team had a brand new one to me less than 5 days. Considering the cost of chlorine these days, I can only imagine how much money I've saved over the past 11 years. Other than routine cleaning, it's probably the easiest part of my pool to maintain. I live in Texas and didn't have to add chlorine or shock once during this past summer (2023). My only advice is to set money aside for cell replacements (warranty is prorated) and buy a size up. So if you have a 20k gallon pool, get the RJ45+. If you have 30k gallons, get the RJ60+.
