First you have the cost of the unit itself installed. Then you have to replace the cell every 2-3 years at $500 a pop. Most people have to run their pump much longer to produce the amount of chlorine their pool demands and then you have to have the damage done by the salt repaired. Many pool pros who put these on their pools years ago have taken them off their own pools and now have their customers sign a hold harmless damage waiver if they choose to have them installed. A study by the National Plaster Council found salt chlorine generators to be by far the worst way to chlorinate a pool. Of course everything you read about them is written by someone who makes, installs, or sells them. I believe them to be among the biggest ripoffs perpetrated upon the pool owning public.
