Customer Q&A

Q: Does the IC40 come with a power center?
A: No. The IC40 salt cell requires a Pentair IntelliChlor Power Center, which is sold separately unless purchasing a complete system.

Q: How often does the IC40 need to be replaced?
A: Most salt cells last 3–7 years depending on usage, water chemistry, and maintenance.

Q: Can I replace my IC20 or IC30 with the IC40?
A: Yes. As long as your system uses an IntelliChlor power center, the IC40 can replace other IntelliChlor models.

Q: Do I need to add chlorine if I have a salt system?
A: Normally no. The IC40 continuously generates chlorine from salt in the water, maintaining proper sanitation automatically.
