Thanks again...makes sense to have the polaris pump seperate. I think I'll leave that one off the timer altogether. I think what was confusing me is the existing switches for the pool pump and polaris pump. I'm thinking I'll bypass the existing switch for the pool pump and just use the timer as a switch. Last question (I hope)...I had work done on the pool tile last fall right before close up. It involved emptying and refilling the pool and immediately closing up for the winter. The guy that winterized the pool told me he added something to the water to keep it in good shape for the winter. None the less, when I looked at it today it was green. My question is, should I add chlorine etc and get the water back in shape before turning on the chlorine generator and adding the salt or should I go ahead and activate the chlorine generator while the water is green but has no chlorine in it? Thanks again, djdixon1995

Thanks for the great advice from Paragon Pools. I was out of town for a few weeks but just got back and ran the plumbing based on your recommendations...piece of cake. I'm about ready to tackle the wiring but have a few questions. Should I connect the polaris pump, pool pump, and chlorine generaror all to the same terminals on the time clock? Do I just run one set if wires from the breaker box to the time clock and then have all the components wired directly to the time clock? Thanks, djdixon1995

Greetings, I'm a pool novice; moved into a house with an in ground pool last fall. The pool has been winterized and covered with a mesh cover. I intend to switch to salt water upon opening up for the spring along with a timer for the pumps. I have purchased a Hayward SwimPure chlorine generator and an intermatic mechanical timer but am having trouble figuring out how to do the wiring. Photos of my current setup are at this link: https://accounts.craigslist.org/post/shwpst...85281&db=lv Also, I could use some advice on how to physically make the conversion from chlorine to salt. If anyone knows of a tutorial on the subject or can give me some advice, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks, djdixon1995
