Pentair 520888 IntelliChlor® IC15 ABG Salt Chlorine Generator

Your Pentair IntelliChlor IC15 ABG Salt Chlorine Generator is designed to automatically produce chlorine for your pool, offering a convenient and effective alternative to traditional chlorine tablets. The core of this system is the electrolytic cell, which is rated for a specific lifespan, typically measured in years or hours of operation. Over time, mineral deposits can build up on the cell's plates, and the plates themselves will naturally degrade with constant use. This wear and tear directly impacts the cell's ability to convert salt into sanitizing chlorine, leading to decreased efficiency. Ignoring a failing IntelliChlor cell can have several consequences for your pool. Firstly, you'll experience a decline in water sanitation, which can quickly lead to cloudy water, unpleasant odors, and eventually, the growth of algae and bacteria. This not only makes your pool uninviting but can also be a health hazard. Secondly, your pool's chemistry will become unbalanced, potentially leading to corrosion of pool equipment and surfaces. Replacing the IntelliChlor cell promptly ensures continuous, effective sanitization, maintaining water clarity and protecting your investment in your pool.
