Product Overview
The Mikey’s Quick Split Coupler P&H-SLT2 provides a fast, service-friendly solution for replacing a cracked or broken union on compatible Pentair IntelliChlor and Hayward salt chlorine generator cells.
Its innovative two-piece split design installs around the existing salt cell connection, eliminating the need to cut and replumb the surrounding PVC. This can significantly reduce the labor, materials, and downtime normally associated with replacing a damaged salt cell coupling.
The updated P&H-SLT2 design features stronger, thicker construction and adjusted threads for compatibility with a wider selection of pool equipment.

Compare the original coupling and thread configuration before ordering. Contact Pool Supply Depot with your salt cell model number if compatibility assistance is needed.

- Verify that the sealing O-ring is present and in good condition.
- Position both sections of the split coupler around the salt cell connection.
- Assemble the coupler and tighten both sides evenly.
- Restore circulation and inspect the connection for leaks.
Important Installation Notes
- Hand tighten only.
- Do not use channel locks, pipe wrenches, or other tools to tighten the coupler.
- Using a wrench may damage or crack the plastic.
- Replacing the existing O-ring during installation is strongly recommended.
