Pentair 520736 FLOW SWITCH ASSY INTELLICHLOR

Over time, the internal components of the Pentair IntelliChlor Flow Switch Assembly can become fouled with mineral deposits or simply wear out from continuous operation. This can lead to inaccurate readings of water flow, causing the IntelliChlor system to shut down unnecessarily or, worse, to operate without adequate water flow. When the flow switch fails, it directly impacts the primary function of your IntelliChlor system: generating chlorine. This means your pool or spa water will no longer be properly sanitized, leading to cloudy water, algae growth, and an unhealthy swimming environment. If you don't replace a faulty flow switch, you risk damaging the IntelliChlor cell itself. The system is designed to prevent chlorine production when flow is insufficient to cool and flush the cell. Continuous operation without proper flow can cause the cell to overheat, leading to premature failure and a much more expensive repair or replacement. Additionally, the lack of chlorine sanitization will degrade the overall water quality, potentially leading to costly treatments for algae blooms and bacterial contamination.
