Salt Chlorine Generators
Pentair 520554 IntelliChlor IC20 Salt Chlorine Generator Cell (US Version)
Can I replace IC20 with IC40?
It is possible to replace an IC20 with an IC40, but it is not recommended. The performance of the IC40 will be lower than that of the IC20, and there may be compatibility issues.
How long does a Pentair IC40 salt cell last?
The Pentair IC40 salt cell is built to last. With proper care and maintenance, it can last for many years. However, the lifespan of a salt cell can vary depending on a number of factors, such as water quality and usage patterns. For example, if the water quality is poor, the salt cell will have to work harder to produce chlorine, which can shorten its lifespan. Similarly, if the pool is used frequently or has a lot of swimmers in it, the salt cell will also have to work harder and may not last as long.
Why is my Pentair Intellichlor IC20 cell light flashing?
If your Pentair Intellichlor IC20 cell light is flashing, it could be for a few different reasons. It could be that the cell needs to be replaced, that the pH is out of balance, or that there is something blocking the flow of water to the cell. If you suspect that the cell needs to be replaced, you can try cleaning it with a brush and see if that makes a difference. If the pH is out of balance, you’ll need to adjust it accordingly. If there is something blocking the flow of water to the cell, you’ll need to clear it so that water can flow freely.
What size salt cell do I need?
If you’re wondering what size salt cell you need, the answer depends on a few factors. The first is the size of your pool. A small pool will require a smaller salt cell than a large pool. The second factor is the degree of water hardness. Hard water will require a larger salt cell than soft water. Finally, your climate can play a role in how often you’ll need to replace your salt cell. If you live in an area with lots of rain or snow, you may need to replace your salt cell more frequently than someone who lives in a drier climate.In general, it’s best to err on the side of getting a larger salt cell than you think you need. That way, you won’t have to replace it as often and you’ll save money in the long run.
