The generic replacement salt cell compatible with Pentair IntelliChlor® models is a great way to upgrade your salt chlorinator system while replacing your old Pentair salt cell. The generic IC20 makes 1.1 lbs/day of chlorine. Guaranteed compatibility when replacing your original OEM Intellichlor salt chlorine generator, delivering improved chlorination capacity so your equipment can run less, use less energy, and last longer!

Even better, the generic Pentair IntelliChlor replacement cell comes with an onboard digital controller that allows you to adjust chlorine output with a tap of a button, and displays the actual salinity in PPM! With this aftermarket replacement, you get more and pay less!

    Compatibility Guaranteed:
  • Pentair IntelliChlor IC20
  • Pentair Intelli-Chlor 20,000 Gallons
  • All IntellChlor 520556 Power Centers
  • Item IDs: 520554

The generic Pentair IC20 replacement salt cell is an affordable after-market option that can provide big savings over more expensive OEM Pentair IC-20 replacement cell. Plus it's an easy drop-in replacement with guaranteed compatible connections for the Pentair IC-20. The cell meets or exceeds factory specs and includes power adapter cord (standard 14') and unions compatible with the Intellichlor models.


Note: The generic IntelliChlor 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®

FAQ

Ask A Question

Q: Will I need to do any work to put this in or need any tools?

Asked by: Luke - 9/27/2019
A: No, its basically plug and play. It connects to the pipes where the old one was with threaded connectors, and you hook it up to the power center with a cord just like your old one.

Q: I am looking to replace my pentair Intellichlor ic 15 which has a plug in to outlet- will this fit and is it compatible

Asked by: Jennifer - 5/18/2022
A: Unfortunately the IC15 uses a different power supply than the rest of the intellichlor series. The IC20 cell is meant to plug into the more heavy duty intellichlor power supply that hangs on the wall.

Q: will it work with the easy touch system

Asked by: Benardino romano - 8/1/2022
A: The cell cable has the same standard Pentair IntelliChlor cord connections to the power supply unit. These don't communicate with external controllers or RS485 data connections, but this isn't necessary for operation just for remote display/control.

Q: Can it replace ichlor30 on fittings side? Capacity wise I’m fine w 20k gallons.

Asked by: KK - 9/30/2021
A: The ichlor30 is shorter in length. If by chance your ichlor was installed using the ichlor-to-intellichlor adapter kit, you could remove that kit and it would hook right up. If not, then you would just cut out the old cell and plumb in the new cell (it comes with new fittings). Then connect it to the power center on the wall.

Q: Will this unit work with the Intellicenter automation system from Pentair?

Asked by: Mike F - 12/3/2022
A: The cell cable has the same standard Pentair IntelliChlor cord connections to the power supply unit. These don't communicate with external controllers or RS485 data connections, but this isn't necessary for operation just for remote display/control.

Q: Can the IC20 be mounted vertically since it appears the flow sensor is on the exit side of the flow?

Q: Will this work in place of the pentair iChlor 30(1.0)

Asked by: Josh - 2/28/2023
A: The ichlor30 works with the same power center was the Pentair Intellichlor, so this item would work with it as well. However, the ichlor30 cell is shorter in length than Intellichlor cells. That means you would need to replumb by cutting out the old cell and gluing in the new cell (it comes with new fittings). Then connect it to the power center on the wall.

Q: I have the Pentair Ic30, do you have a replacement for that unit

Asked by: Mike - 4/19/2023
A: You can see the ichlor30 cell here: https://www.discountsaltpool.com/pentair-ichlor-30-replacement-salt-cell-523009

Or the intellichlor-style cells could be used with the existing ichlor cell power supply unit but you would have to replumb since the ichlor cell is shorter in length.

Q: I see that the ic20 aftermarket replacement does more than the pentair plus double the warranty. My only worry is that it will run constantly. does the flow switch stop the salt generation when the pump is off? If so, I see no reason for the communication cable anyway. Is there any reason not to replace pentair with aftermarket?

Asked by: Larry L. - 5/17/2023
A: The flow switch definitely stops generation when the water is not flowing.
