Description
Pentair IntelliChlor Plus60 Salt Chlorine Generator Cell [523738]
Turn your pool into crystal‑clear water with the IntelliChlor IC60. This electrolytic chlorine generator converts ordinary table salt into all the sanitizer your pool needs, right in the water—safely, efficiently, and automatically. The updated version 523738 delivers even more reliable performance, making pool maintenance simpler and more predictable.
Why this matters: fewer trips to the store for chlorine, no handling of bulky chemical bags, and no lingering chlorine odors. Because the system reuses salt, your pool stays consistently sanitized with less maintenance over time, while automatic feedback in the cell keeps you informed of exactly what your water needs.
What sets the Plus60 apart
- All-in-one cell with built‑in controls and displays: Monitor salt levels, sanitizer output, hours of operation, and water temperature at a glance directly on the cell—no separate monitor required.
- Five adjustable sanitizing levels: Tailor chlorine production to pool size, usage, and climate, achieving steady sanitation without over- or under-chlorination.
- Real‑time performance and life data: Daily logs of production settings, cell cleanliness cycles, salt readings, and water temperature provide a clear view of your chemistry over time.
- Automatic self-cleaning and scale prevention: A built‑in reverse cycling feature helps keep the titanium electrode blades conducting efficiently longer, reducing maintenance.
- Water-flow protection and safety: Integrated sensors verify adequate flow before generating chlorine and automatically shut the unit down if conditions aren’t safe, extending cell life.
- Salt‑based sanitation without chlorine handling: Add less than a teaspoon of salt per gallon of pool water—and let the system sustain your sanitizer needs, eliminating the typical chlorine odor and irritants.
- Durable construction: Titanium electrode blades coated with Ruthenium oxide stand up to the toughest pool environments, delivering reliable performance year after year.
- Smart maintenance tracking: The system’s feedback helps you keep water chemistry balanced with minimal effort, so your pool stays inviting and safe for every swim.
Practical setup notes: Stand-alone installations require a power center (PN 520556). This IC60 cell carries a one-year warranty and is designed to withstand active residential pool environments while delivering consistent, automatic chlorine production.
Who should consider the IntelliChlor IC60? Homeowners with saltwater pools who want a hands-off approach to water sanitization, retrofits to modern electrochlorination, or anyone seeking reliable chlorine generation that reduces chemical handling and maintenance while delivering consistently clean, inviting water. If you value precise control, long cell life, and automatic operation, this is the upgrade that makes saltwater pool care straightforward and dependable.
IntelliChlor® Salt Chlorine Generator Turns Salt into Chlorine Right in Your Pool
Original Version: 521105 (last photo)
Now, Crystal Clear, Safe Water is Automatic
Electrolytic chlorine generation is the easiest, most effective and convenient way to keep pool water sparkling clean. The IntelliChlor® salt chlorine generator uses common table salt to produce all the chlorine your pool needs, right in your pool€”safely, effectively and automatically.
- Same sanitation performance as manual chlorine addition without the drawbacks.
- No need to buy, transport and store expensive chlorine compounds.
- No more odor, stinging eyes, irritated skin and bleached-out swimsuits.
A New Standard in Chlorine Generator Technology
IntelliChlor takes electrolytic chlorine generation to a higher level of convenience, reliability and safety. But to understand why the IntelliChlor generator is better, it helps to first understand how it works.
Table salt (sodium chloride) is added to the pool water€¦less than a teaspoon of salt per gallon of pool water is all that€™s required. As the dissolved salt flows through the generator cell, it is electrolytically converted to pure chlorine, which is then distributed throughout the pool, sanitizing the water, keeping it fresh, clear and safe.
Unlike conventional chlorine additives that must be constantly replenished, the salt is recycled continuously, day after day, to further reduce pool maintenance requirements. The generator even keeps itself clean with an automatic reverse cycling feature that prevents scale build-up for longer cell life.
Simple, Safe, Automatic
Monitoring chlorine production is easy with the IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator. It€™s the only one with all controls and displays built into the cell€”and the only one providing so much helpful feedback to you. Just select from one of five sanitizing levels to easily manage chlorine addition.
- Easy-to-view displays enable fast checking of salt levels, cell cleanliness, sanitizer output and water flow.
- Adjustment is as easy as pressing two buttons.
- All performance data€”production settings, hours of operation, chlorine output, cell cleaning cycles, salt readings and water temperature averages€”is captured daily, making it easy to maintain perfect water.
- Exclusive cell use tracking feature communicates remaining hours of cell life in real-time.
- Integrated sensors in the generator cell ensure that water flow is adequate for safe chlorine generation; under low water temperature conditions, automatic shut-off feature protects the unit and prolongs cell life.
- One-year warranty. See warranty for complete details.
NOTE: Stand-alone installations require a power center (PN 520556).
