EC-520555 Salt Chlorine Generator Cell For Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 40000Gallon

Salt Chlorine Generator Cell for Pentair

This replacement salt chlorine generator cell (EC-520555) produces chlorine sanitizer for Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 systems rated for pools up to 40,000 gallons.

Overview

The salt chlorine generator cell uses electrolysis to transform dissolved salt into free chlorine, keeping pool water clear without manual chemical dosing. Designed as a direct replacement for Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 units, this cell handles pools up to 40,000 gallons and restores consistent chlorine output. The cell’s coated titanium blades and reverse‑polarity self‑cleaning action reduce maintenance and extend electrode life.

Built For Performance

• Titanium plates with precious metal oxide coating for long salt cell life
• Reverse‑polarity cleaning reduces calcium scale accumulation
• Plug‑in connector matches Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 wiring without modification
• Consistent chlorine generation across the full 40,000‑gallon rating
• Rugged clear housing allows instant visual inspection of blade condition
• O‑ring sealed union connections prevent leaks at the plumbing manifold

Good To Know

Q: How frequently should the salt cell be inspected for scale? A: Check the cell every three months; if you see white crusty deposits, clean the blades with a diluted muriatic acid solution according to Pentair guidelines to restore performance.

Q: What salt level does the IntelliChlor IC40 require? A: The system typically operates with a salt concentration of 3,000–3,500 ppm; always use pool‑grade salt and let it dissolve completely before starting the cell to avoid damage.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
