Compatibility Notes
Use this replacement power center only if your system requires a 520556-style power center for IntelliChlor-compatible salt chlorine generator systems. If you want to compare another power center option, review the Pentair 520556 IntelliChlor power center before ordering.
This power center is listed for compatible IC20, IC40, and IC60 systems. If your salt cell also needs replacement, compare the Pentair 520554 IntelliChlor IC20 salt cell, Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 salt chlorine generator cell, or Pentair IntelliChlor IC60 salt cell based on your current cell model.
Do not use this part as a replacement for a salt cell, flow switch, automation panel, or control board unless your system manual specifically identifies the power center as the failed component.
What the Power Center Does
The power center supplies the electrical power needed for compatible IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator operation. In a properly installed system, it works with the salt cell and connected pool equipment so the chlorinator can produce chlorine from dissolved pool salt.
If your salt system is not turning on, not powering the cell, or showing inconsistent operation, the power center may be one part to check. However, salt cell condition, water flow, wiring, breaker power, fuse condition, compatible cell model, and controller settings should also be inspected before replacing parts.
Installation Notes
Turn off all power to the pool equipment before installing or servicing the power center. This type of part involves electrical wiring and should be installed by a qualified person familiar with pool equipment and local electrical requirements.
Confirm the correct wiring, mounting location, bonding/grounding requirements, and connection to the compatible salt cell before use. Do not guess on voltage, wiring connections, or installation direction.
After installation, check that the power center is securely mounted, the wiring is protected, and the salt cell powers on normally under the correct operating conditions.
Related Parts to Check
A power center issue can sometimes look similar to a failed salt cell, dirty cell, poor flow, or loose wiring. Inspect the salt cell and cable connections before replacing only the power center.
If the IntelliChlor cell has scale buildup, the Pentair IntelliChlor acid washing kit may help with routine cleaning when used according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Before You Order
Confirm that your system needs a 520556 power center replacement and not a salt cell, flow switch, fuse, wiring repair, control panel, or full control system replacement. Also verify the compatible cell model, installation requirements, voltage, wiring/bonding requirements, mounting location, and included accessories before purchasing.
