Steps
Treat the salt chlorine generator's control unit and any in-line cell/fittings as pool equipment subject to the same NEC 680 bonding and GFCI requirements as other electrically powered pool equipment.
Confirm the unit is installed per the manufacturer's clearance requirements from the water's edge and per the equipment's product listing (e.g., UL or equivalent).
Check for any required signage/labeling — some manufacturers and local codes call for posted signage noting the pool is chemically (chlorine) treated, to avoid confusion with 'chemical-free' marketing claims.
Verify grounding and bonding of the generator's metal enclosure and any conductive plumbing fittings within the equipment's bonding zone, consistent with the rest of the pool's equipotential bonding grid.
Known gotchas
A salt chlorine generator still produces chlorine and must be treated as a chlorinated pool for water-chemistry logging/labeling purposes — don't let marketing language imply 'salt water, no chemicals' where the local code prohibits misleading claims.
There isn't a single separate national 'salt chlorinator code section' — bonding/labeling obligations are largely the general NEC 680 pool-equipment bonding rules plus the specific unit's own listing and installation instructions, so confirm against both.
