Pentair 520670 INTELLICHLOR ACID CLEANING KIT - SALT

Your Pentair IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator relies on clean electrolytic cells to effectively convert salt into sanitizing chlorine. Over time, calcium and other mineral deposits naturally present in pool water can adhere to the cell plates, forming a hard, white scale. This scale acts as an insulator, preventing the cells from working at their optimal capacity and significantly reducing chlorine production. Without regular cleaning using a kit like the Pentair IntelliChlor Acid Cleaning Kit, this buildup will worsen, eventually leading to a complete failure of the cells to produce chlorine. If you don't address this scale buildup, you'll notice a consistent drop in your pool's chlorine levels, making it difficult to maintain proper sanitation. This can lead to cloudy water, algae growth, and an increased risk of waterborne illnesses. In severe cases, the excessive scale can permanently damage the electrolytic cells, requiring a much more expensive replacement of the entire cell assembly. Using the acid cleaning kit is a proactive maintenance step that extends the life of your IntelliChlor system and ensures consistent, reliable chlorine generation for a healthy swimming environment.
