Pentair 521105 Pentair Intellichlor Salt Generator Replacement Cell, 60,000 Gallons, IC60P - EC-521105

Your Pentair IntelliChlor salt generator cell works through electrolysis, using a low-voltage current to convert dissolved salt in your pool water into chlorine. This process is crucial for maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable swimming environment by effectively sanitizing the water and preventing algae growth. However, like any component exposed to pool chemicals and continuous operation, the electrolytic plates within the cell will eventually wear down or become coated with calcium and other mineral deposits. This buildup, known as scaling, reduces the cell's efficiency, meaning it produces less chlorine even when running. Eventually, the cell may stop producing chlorine altogether, leading to a significant drop in sanitizer levels.
