When replacing an OEM Pentair IC-60 cell, typical installation of the APEX P60 aftermarket replacement salt cells is
easy. The plug-and-play replacement process simply involves unscrewing the existing cell from the plumbing,
disconnecting it from the power center, and then reconnecting the APEX P60 cell in a similar fashion. Since it can
utilize the existing connections for the Pentair IC-60, installation can usually be done in minutes without tools.
The APEX P60 cell includes the power cable (standard 14') and extra unions compatible with the Intellichlor models.
Note: The aftermarket cell does not utilize a RS-485 or data connection for integration with automation systems like
Pentair Intellitouch, Pentair Easy Touch®, Jandy® AquaLink®, Hayward® AquaLogic® and Hayward ProLogic®

General FAQ
If your salt cell needs to be replaced, you probably have a problem with low chlorine, but if your chlorine level is a problem then the cell is only one of several possible issues, notably including excessive chlorine demand. Essentially, you have either a system problem or a water problem.
System problems will generally reveal themselves with error messages or warning lights on the control module. The typical indications of the cell needing replacement will be one or both of the following: Low Salt warnings that are present with correct salinity and Check/Clean Cell warnings that display when the cell is verifiably clean.
If you are referring to buying the same brand, there’s no question that the original OEM salt cell is exactly what your system was designed to use. However, commonly there are aftermarket replacement cells available which fit into place and operate quite satisfactorily. It is your prerogative to employ one of these aftermarket replacements if you are satisfied with the specifications, price warranty, and reported compatibility.
If you were asking about buying the same capacity cell, then OEM or aftermarket alike, you need to first determine whether your control or power module can accommodate a different size. Assuming you can change sizes, a larger cell is virtually always a good choice. However, in downsizing, make sure the smaller cell is still sufficiently large to maintain 1.5-2 times sizing of the cell relative to the pool’s volume.

The APEX P60 controls are mounted on top of the electrolytic cell (separately replaceable). It has a bright LED screen that that displays the actual measured salt levels, ten sanitizer output power levels, and LED indicator lights to display if there is an issue with the salt level, water flow, water temperature, or whether the cell requires checking or service. The P60 also includes onboard diagnostics. The controls also have a built-in mechanical flow switch that ensure sufficient water flow for chlorine generation. Under low water temperature conditions, the control's automatic shut-off feature protects the unit and prolongs cell life.
A special feature of the APEX P40 is that when replacement is needed in the future, its electrolytic cell is replaceable separate from the electronics; this can provide significant savings and can greatly add to the lifetime value of the APEX P-Series cells. The APEX P60 electrolytic cell is an inline opaque-plastic housing which contains built-in titanium electrode plates, top-mounted electronic controls, integrated flow switch, and built-in power supply cord. The APEX P60 salt cell has the same length and threads as the original OEM Pentair IntelliChlor IC60 to allow easy replacement and quick access for service or winter removal (if applicable). These threaded connections attach to the existing unions which are glued to the existing return-line PVC plumbing.
