Hayward AquaRite 100
#9 in In-GroundFull review
A basic dealer-installed salt system for in-ground pools up to 30,000 gallons, for owners who don’t want automation or a salt display.
2.8/5
The small AquaPure for pools or spas up to 12,000 gallons; worth it mainly for homes already on Jandy AquaLink.

No store we check sells it online; the maker lists where to buy or who installs it.
Pros
- Shows the salt level as a number on its LCD
- Shuts off in cold water on its own; Boost can override
- Can be upgraded to the 40,000-gallon PLC1400 cell on the same power center
Cons
- Rated for only 12,000 gallons, yet uses the same costly power center as the 1400
- Power center and cell together cost about $2,300 online
- No Jandy warranty if bought online
