Product Overview
The Pentair 521378 IntelliChem Acid Container is a genuine OEM Pentair replacement chemical tank designed for compatible IntelliChem water chemistry controller systems. This container is used for acid feed applications where the system requires a dedicated acid storage tank but does not require a tank-mounted pump included with the container.
This part is commonly used as a replacement acid container for IntelliChem chemical automation systems or as part of a properly configured equipment-pad chemical feed setup.
Ideal For
Replacing or adding an acid container for compatible Pentair IntelliChem water chemistry automation systems where the pump is already installed separately or supplied by another approved setup.

Benefits
The Pentair 521378 Acid Container provides a dedicated storage container for acid feed applications in compatible IntelliChem systems. When paired with the correct controller, pump, tubing, injection fittings, and sensors, it helps support automated pH control and reduces the need for frequent manual acid dosing.
Because this is an OEM Pentair part, it is designed to match the intended IntelliChem chemical feed setup and provide proper fitment with compatible system components.
Important System Note
This is the acid container without pump. It is not a complete IntelliChem system and does not include the IntelliChem controller, sensors, pump, tubing, injection fittings, or other installation accessories unless otherwise stated.
Always confirm the full system layout before ordering.
