Pentair Pool is reintroducing the legacy IntelliChlor® IC20, IC40 and IC60 Salt Chlorine Generator cells. These models automatically generate chlorine from salt and offer familiar controls, diagnostics, and compatibility with Pentair automation systems.
For homeowners, salt chlorine generation can mean a simpler pool ownership experience and water that feels great. Now with a 3-year warranty they can enjoy their pool with added peace of mind. For pool professionals, it offers another familiar option to recommend to each customer, tailored to their needs with the confidence with 3-year warranty coverage backed by Pentair Pool.
What Are The Benefits Of A Saltwater Pool?
A pool should be a place to relax, not another item on the to-do list. Salt chlorine generation helps make pool care easier by automatically producing chlorine while the pool pump is operating.
For homeowners, the benefits can include:
- Silky, softer-feeling water that is gentler on skin and eyes.
- Consistent chlorine production for more stable water quality.
- Less pool maintenance and fewer trips to purchase chlorine.
- Added convenience by reducing the need to buy, carry, store, and handle chlorine.
- Fewer strong chlorine odors often associated with traditionally chlorinated pools.
- Peace of mind knowing chlorine is being generated automatically while the pump is operating.
Simply put, salt chlorine generation can help homeowners spend less time thinking about pool maintenance and more time enjoying their pool.
Why Pool Pros Should Recommend the IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator
For pool professionals, recommending the right equipment is about more than the product itself. It is about helping customers find solutions that make pool ownership easier.
The IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator gives pros a familiar solution with features designed to make operation and diagnostics easy-to-understand. At-a-glance LEDs communicate salt level, water flow, cold-water status, cell condition and sanitizer output, while simple MORE and LESS controls make chlorine output easy to adjust.
The IntelliChlor salt cell also includes Boost Mode, automatic self-cleaning, built-in flow, salt and temperature sensing, and a usage-hour meter that helps pool professionals assess cell usage and plan for replacement. It is also compatible with Pentair automation systems, including IntelliCenter® Pool Control Systems.
That makes it easy for pool pros to recommend the benefits homeowners care about most: softer-feeling water, consistent chlorination, convenience, and less day-to-day pool maintenance.
