Why Salt System Education Matters Right Now
Salt systems continue to grow in popularity, but evolving technology can create confusion around upgrades and replacements. As Pentair transitions from the IntelliChlor® IC40 to the IntelliChlor® Plus40, clear education helps pool owners and professionals understand what’s changed—and what actually matters when selecting the right salt cell.
The Pentair POV: Choosing the Right Cell
Both the IC40 and Plus40 support pools up to 40,000 gallons and integrate with Pentair automation. The Plus40 builds on that foundation with improved accuracy, diagnostics, durability, and serviceability—designed to make ongoing pool care more reliable and easier to manage over time.
