Product Overview
The Pentair IntelliChlor CIC60P Replacement Primary Commercial Cell | 521151 is a genuine Pentair replacement primary cell for compatible Commercial IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator systems.
Designed for commercial pool sanitation, the CIC60P cell uses ordinary salt dissolved in pool water to generate chlorine automatically, helping reduce manual chlorine handling while maintaining consistent sanitizer production. This primary commercial cell is used in CIC60P configurations and can also serve as the controlling primary cell in properly configured commercial multi-cell systems.
With built-in controls and status displays, the CIC60P cell allows quick checking of salt level, cell cleanliness, sanitizer output, and water flow status. It is rated to produce approximately 1.98–2.00 lbs of chlorine per 24 hours under proper operating conditions.

Benefits
The Pentair 521151 CIC60P Primary Commercial Cell helps restore chlorine generation performance in compatible IntelliChlor commercial systems. When a salt cell reaches the end of its service life, chlorine production can drop, causing sanitizer instability and increased manual chemical demand.
Replacing the worn cell with the correct Pentair primary commercial cell helps bring the system back to proper operation. Because the cell includes built-in controls and status indicators, pool professionals can easily monitor system status during operation and service.
For commercial facilities, automated salt chlorine generation can help reduce the need to purchase, transport, store, and manually add traditional chlorine products, while still supporting effective pool sanitation when the system is properly sized, maintained, and balanced.

Installation Notes
This replacement cell should be installed by a qualified commercial pool professional familiar with Pentair Commercial IntelliChlor systems. Before installation, confirm that the existing system requires the CIC60P primary cell and not the CIC60S secondary cell.
Turn off all power to the chlorine generator system and circulation equipment before removing the old cell. Inspect the plumbing unions, power center, wiring, flow conditions, salt level, and water chemistry before startup.
Salt level, water balance, flow rate, and system runtime directly affect chlorine production. The cell should only be operated within manufacturer-specified water chemistry and electrical parameters.
