Pentair IntelliChlor® IC20 Salt Chlorinator Cell

Keep your pool effortlessly sanitized—even if it’s just your cozy backyard oasis. The IntelliChlor IC20 cell cranks out a steady trickle of pure chlorine from ordinary pool salt, so you can ditch the jugs and let chemistry happen on autopilot.

How It Works

• Salt → Sanitizer: Dissolved salt passes over titanium-coated plates. A low-voltage current splits salt into free chlorine—no heavy lifting required.
• Auto Self-Clean: Every couple of hours, IntelliChlor flips polarity to shed scale buildup. Longer cycles, minimal scrubbing.
• Smart Safety: Built-in flow and temperature sensors shut the cell off if conditions aren’t ideal—no surprises, no fried hardware.

Key features and operational notes for the Pentair® IntelliChlor® IC20 Salt Cell:

• Capacity: Treats pools up to 20,000 gallons—perfect for small-to-mid-sized yards.
• Chlorine Yield: Produces approximately 0.8 lb (0.36 kg) of chlorine per 24-hour day, keeping water pristine.
• Optimal Salt Range: Operates efficiently with salt levels between 2,500–4,500 ppm (factory set at 3,000 ppm) for sweet-spot performance and gentle equipment care.
• Self-Cleaning Cycle: Automatic polarity reversal, typically every 2-3 hours, sloughs off scale buildup from the cell plates, minimizing maintenance and extending cell life.
• LED Status Display: Intuitive icons on the cell (or associated power center) provide clear indications for power, low salt levels, service alerts, and approximate cell life remaining.
• Automation-Ready: Easily integrates with Pentair automation systems (like EasyTouch® or SunTouch®) for remote monitoring, alerts, and seasonal adjustments from your smartphone (requires compatible automation system).
• Easy Installation: Designed with 2″ union connections that snap right onto standard PVC plumbing.
