Compatibility Before Ordering
This replacement should be checked carefully against your existing IntelliChlor IC40 salt chlorine generator before purchase. Match the model number, power center, cord connection, cell style, and control system settings before removing the old cell.
IC40 Replacement Cell Fit
The Afras 31400S is listed as a direct replacement for IC40 EC-520555 systems, but buyers should still confirm the exact cell type and equipment setup. If your system uses a separate power unit, compare it with the Pentair 520556 IntelliChlor power center before ordering.
When to Replace the Salt Cell
A weak or failing salt cell may cause low chlorine output, warning lights, or inconsistent sanitation even when the pool has enough salt. Before replacing the cell, review replacement salt cells for pool systems to confirm whether the issue is the cell, water balance, flow, or control panel.
Compare Other IntelliChlor Cell Sizes
If your pool is larger or has higher chlorine demand, compare the IC40-style replacement with the IntelliChlor IC60 salt chlorine generator cell before finalizing your choice. Choosing the right size helps avoid overworking a smaller cell.
Installation and Setup Notes
Turn off power before removing the old cell. Install the replacement only according to the system instructions, confirm the water flow direction, connect the cord securely, and restart the system only after the plumbing is sealed. If you are new to this process, review a salt chlorinator installation guide before setup.
Maintenance and Water Care
After installation, test salt, pH, stabilizer, and chlorine levels regularly. Keep the cell clean as directed by the manufacturer and avoid scraping the plates with sharp tools. Proper water balance helps the replacement cell work more consistently and may reduce unnecessary cleaning.
What to Check Before Buying
Before purchasing, confirm the exact Afras 31400S part number, IC40 EC-520555 compatibility, power center requirement, cord connection, union size, warranty terms, return policy, and whether this is an aftermarket replacement or original equipment part. Also check that the product images match the exact replacement cell you need.
