Gen II vs. Evolve: Which Should You Buy?
Worth knowing before you order: the CPB0001A is currently priced the same as the CPB0006A Evolve system with the same PPM1 manifold. The Evolve adds tri-sensor monitoring (flow, salt, temperature), a 24-hour boost cycle, and more detailed diagnostics for the same price. Unless you specifically need Gen II for compatibility with existing equipment or a service preference, the Evolve is the better value at this price point.

Install Note
Should be installed by a qualified pool professional or electrician. Confirm water is balanced and salt is added to the correct range before startup — a salt system cannot overcome poor water chemistry or inadequate circulation.
