Product Overview
The Pentair IntelliCenter Load Center 522043 provides the electrical enclosure and relay capacity needed to build or replace an IntelliCenter pool and spa automation system. Designed for systems that do not require a built-in IntelliChlor salt chlorine generator transformer, this load center offers a clean, centralized location for pool equipment power distribution and automation components.
The enclosure includes five 3 HP auxiliary relays for controlling compatible pumps, lights, heaters, water features, blowers, and other pool or spa equipment. A compatible IntelliCenter Personality Kit must be selected separately to configure the system for a pool-only, pool-and-spa, or dual-body application.
This is an à la carte IntelliCenter component—not a complete automation package. The controller, personality kit, wireless antenna, salt cell, and other system accessories are sold separately.
