IntelliChlor Overview

The IntelliChlor™ salt chlorinator uses a process known as electrolysis to produce Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid chlorine) from a low concentration of salt added to the pool water. Hypochlorite kills bacteria, oxidizes organic material, and kills algae, then reverts back to salt. IntelliChlor then reuses the salt and the process starts over again. The IntelliChlor system is comprised of the Power Center and Electrolytic Cell.

Features

•Superior design combines cell and control panel as one assembly.

•Cell blades are made from a titanium metal base and coated with precious metal Ruthenium oxide.

•Cell blades are capable of lasting in excess of 10,000 hours.

•The cell assembly can be installed horizontally or vertically.

•Separate Power Center mounts to wall at equipment pad, for easy AC wiring.

•Easily serviced.

•Electronics run cool for long, reliable life.

•Cell hours meter reports current usage to determine how many hours remain.

•IC40 model produces up to 1.40 lbs. of chlorine per day. The IC20 model produces .70 lbs per day.

•Salt level bar graph shows the amount of salt in pool.

•Red and green LED indicators show system status for power, water flow, and cell status.

•MORE and LESS output buttons control how much chlorine is produced.

•BOOST cycle sets the unit to maximum chlorine output for 24 hours.

•Cell lifetime is tracked with at-a-glance green LED indicators.

•UL listed to UL1081 standards for swimming pool chlorinators.

IntelliChlor models

The IntelliChlor salt chlorinator system models are:

•PC 100 (P/N 520556): Power Center Kit.

•IC 20 Cell (P/N 520554): Designed for pools up to 20,000 U.S. gallons (75 liters), this cell will produce approximately 0.70 pounds of chlorine per 24 hour period. This cell uses two terminal blades and five bi-polar blades making this system more cost competitive.

•IC 40 Cell (P/N 520555): Designed for pools up to 40,000 U.S. gallons (151 liters), the cell will produce approximately 1.40 pounds of chlorine per 24 hour period. This cell uses three terminal blades and ten bi-polar blades, five on each side of the center terminal blade. This will supply more than enough chlorine for almost any residential and many smaller commercial pools.

•IntelliChlor pass-through cell (P/N 520588): For new pool start-up.
