Compatibility Notes
The IC40 cell should be matched with a compatible IntelliChlor system and the correct power center before installation. If your pool is larger or has higher chlorine demand, compare the Pentair IntelliChlor IC60 cell before choosing the IC40 size.
Do not select this product only by appearance. Similar salt cells may have different gallon ratings, power requirements, connector styles, or system compatibility.
Power Center and Installation Guidance
Install the cell according to the manufacturer’s instructions and confirm the correct plumbing direction, union fit, water flow, and power connection before startup. If your current setup does not already have a compatible power supply, check whether an IntelliChlor power center is required.
The pool water should be balanced before the cell is activated. Salt level, stabilizer, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and flow should be checked so the system can operate correctly.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Salt cells should be inspected regularly for calcium scale, debris, or buildup. If scale appears on the plates, clean the cell only as directed by the manufacturer and avoid harsh cleaning methods that can shorten cell life.
For cleaning support, an IntelliChlor acid washing kit may be useful when the cell has visible scale buildup, but it should only be used according to the product and manufacturer instructions.
Before You Buy
Choose this IC40 model only if it matches your pool size and existing Pentair IntelliChlor setup. If your pool is smaller, compare the Pentair IntelliChlor IC20 cell before buying a larger cell than needed.
Also verify whether the listing includes only the IC40 cell or includes unions, flow switch, power center, or other installation hardware. Checking these details before purchase helps avoid ordering the wrong replacement part.
