OEM Replacement Salt Chlorinator Cell for Pools up to 30,000 Gallons
Say goodbye to schlepping jugs and guesswork—the iChlor 30 cell slots right into your existing Pentair power center (compatible with IC20/IC40 models) and keeps your pool at cocktail-ready clarity. It generates a steady, gentle stream of pure chlorine from ordinary pool salt.
How It Works
- Salt In → Chlorine Out: Dissolved salt meets titanium-coated plates, generating pure hypochlorous acid on demand—no chemicals to lug home.
- Real-Time Data & Control: LED display reports chlorine output and cell status instantly; adjust output from 1% to 100% in 1% increments for razor-sharp precision (via compatible power center/automation).
- Low-Flow Friendly: Works efficiently at flows as low as 20 GPM, so variable-speed pumps won’t starve it—or you—of chlorine.
Key features and operational notes for the Pentair® iChlor® 30 Salt Cell:
- Genuine OEM Replacement: Direct drop-in for IC20/IC40 power centers; includes extension adapter (#523101) for seamless retrofits if needed.
- High-Capacity Sanitization: Delivers approximately 1 lb (0.45 kg) of chlorine per 24-hour day, effectively sanitizing pools up to 30,000 gallons.
- Universal Voltage Compatibility: Compatible with 115 VAC or 230 VAC Pentair IntelliChlor power centers—no rewiring circus required for the cell itself (power center voltage must match supply).
- Compact Footprint: Measures approximately 12 ¼″ L × 6 ⅝″ W × 7 ½″ H and weighs around 9 lbs, fitting neatly into your equipment pad setup.
- Eco-Select® Certified: Meets Pentair’s standards for energy efficiency and environmentally responsible design.
- Auto-Reversing Self-Clean: The cell reverses polarity every few hours to shed calcium deposits and restore full efficiency with zero manual scrubbing.
