I have a pool that is about 10,000 gallons but I am thinking of buying a salt chlorine system for pools up to 20,000 gallons. Would the larger unit be a problem?

It is not a problem to oversize a salt system. It would take the larger unit less time to produce the necessary chlorine so it is actually more efficient. When the pool volume is very close to the capacity of the salt chlorine generator (for example, the pool is 18,000 gallons and the generator is rated at a maximum of 20,000 gallons), we would recommend going up to the next size generator.

Is the salt included with the salt chlorine generator?

No, salt is not included. You would purchase the salt locally and the quantity will depend upon the number of gallons of water in your pool. Use a salt that is at least 99.8% pure NaCl. The preferred salt is evaporated, granulated, food quality, and NON-iodized. Avoid using salt with anti-caking agents like sodium ferrocyanide, also known as yellow YPS (prussiate of soda). These cause some discoloration of fittings and pool surface finishes. DO NOT use calcium chloride.

How is this unit different than the ST36?
Does this work/control variable speed pumps?
What is the cost of the replacement cell?
Thanks

Hello Glen - The DIG36 has a digital display and the ST36 features "soft touch" buttons with LED lights. The DIG36 can provide power to a 2.5HP pump at 220v if you purchase an optional Relay Kit. If you are installing a variable speed pump, the AutoPilot will only provide power. The controls would be operated at the variable speed pump. You can view the pricing of the replacement cells here.
