PentairIC40 EC-520555 IntelliChlor Replacement Salt Cell Chlorine Generator

Clorinator performs well and was delivered early

My old generator had stopped working after 6 years 😖. Removed it and replaced it with the new one and now have chlorine generation again.

The media could not be loaded. After a full year of using the Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 Salt Chlorine Generator, I can confidently say this was one of the smartest decisions I’ve made for my pool. My setup includes a pool with just over 12,400 gallons, and this unit — rated for up to 40,000 gallons — has consistently kept the water perfectly balanced without breaking a sweat.Over the past year, I’ve enjoyed clear, clean, and soft-feeling water with zero chlorine odor or irritation. Maintenance has been minimal, and I haven’t had to manually add chlorine once. The IC40 has handled Puerto Rico’s heat, heavy rainfall, and near-daily use like a champ.It’s paired with a Pentair SuperFlo VST pump, a Clean & Clear Plus 320 filter, and runs on a dedicated timer with surge protection. I also replaced all the plumbing with 1.5-inch lines and added check valves and high-quality shutoffs. The system runs flawlessly — flow is great, the salt cell self-cleans, and the control panel makes it easy to monitor and adjust output as needed.After a year of use, there’s no corrosion, no buildup, and the water quality is as good as day one. If you’re considering switching to a salt system, don’t hesitate. The IntelliChlor IC40 is worth every penny.

Works great and at a cheaper price than local pool supply companies,

This is a review of the product, not the seller. This is the second cell I've purchased and this has to be the worst customer service I've ever experienced for any product. Earlier in the year I called because I had a question about the readout of the cell when my pool was opened. The customer service rep basically read a few questions off a list and then told me I needed a new salt cell and I purchased one. With it being early in the season, all the pool companies were booked up. I went ahead and ordered a new cell only to find out later that the old one worked fine.When I went to clean the new cell for the second time after about 1.5 months of use, I noticed more calcium buildup than I had ever seen before. I tried cleaning it with the normal cleaning solution 5 times and the buildup remained. I called the salt cell company just to see if they had any ideas on how to remove the buildup. Again, someone just read questions off a list. They told me to send pictures to an email they provided including a professional water test printout. They told me that all communication would need to be done via email from that point on. I sent them pictures of the cell buildup and the pool company professional test printout. The pool company told me that my water seemed good. I have yet to hear back from the maker of Intellichlor in over two weeks. I've emailed them asking if they received my emails and I've gotten no response.Update 9/6/2024I heard back from the manufacturer. They told me that I need a new salt cell. I think this may be their response to every inquiry. I emailed them back reminding them that this was a brand new cell (three months old) and asked them how to file a warranty claim since the warranty is two years. I have not heard back.

Flow switch failed after 2 years. Otherwise worked flawlessly.

This worked perfectly for our swimming pool.

Item arrived quickly and exactly as described.
