Review Image by Dan H Dan H
The original Pentair salt cell that came with the pool installation of lasted about 5-6 years. I replaced it with an off brand because it was cheaper. So I saved money at the time, but the replacement salt cell only lasted 2 years. Replacement brand sells also. Do not allow for full functionality like setting the chlorine level from your remote app. This time I decided to go back to the Pentair salt cell and was surprised after shopping around that this one was offered at a much cheaper price than every other Pentair supplier locally or online. I was thinking all kinds of scenarios like maybe it was refurbished, or didn't have all the parts or wiring, or wouldn't come with a warranty. I was pleasantly surprised that it came in the original sealed factory box, included all parts, including replacement pipe connectors and gaskets, and has the full 2 year factory warranty. Installation was quick and easy. No leaks and up and running with full functionality. If you are looking to replace your Pentair salt cell, it is worth it to get this one at such a deeply discounted price. Not sure how they do it, but everything looks just fine, and delivery even arrived 2 days earlier, then expected. Their customer support is responsive as well. I had a question up front before I purchased it and they answered me within an hour. ... show more

    • Quality and great price
Style: New
We saved a ton of money purchasing this from Amazon rather than our local pool store. It was easy to install, you just pop it in. Works great 👍 ! Highly recommend!

    • Replacement

These cells usually last about 3 years. Mine had lasted 5 years and I needed a new one. The new one is easy to install and it’s working fine.

    • It works, but has some weak areas
Style: old
Overall I'm not super impressed with this, but it does the job. From what I've heard, none of the other options are really any better, so it's a good option and this is a good price for it. It does produce chlorine, and the boost mode works pretty well. While it says to clean it every 3 months, I would not do this, but at least inspect it that often. This model does not seem to produce much buildup on the plates as long as your water is well-balanced against a good test kit (i.e. not the pool stores). I find the 40,000 gallon capacity advertising incredibly suspect - mine is 28,000 gal and I find myself wishing I'd gone with the IC-60. Here's why: 40,000 gal assumes 100% output for 24 hours per day of pump runtime. Cool, but it's also rated for like 10k hours maximum. So this means if you ran it at full capacity, it would last about two seasons, and also cost a ton of money in running the pump. Upgrading to IC-60 would not cost much more but would allow a much increased lifespan along with only having to use the pump maybe 6-8 hours per day. The weakest link on these things is the temperature/flow sensor. Don't trust any of the temperature/salt LEDs below a water temp of about 65 F. It's simply wrong. Additionally, it only updates the temperature/salt status every 12 hours or so. I recommend power cycling the thing around 10am one day, so that it will get on a decent "schedule" of reading the levels when the temperatures allow it to be remotely accurate. The flow switch of a previous unit had broken clean off because of the previous owner's water balance issues. I recommend to keep a really good eye on your pool levels or you'll be spending a lot of money to fix things. Thankfully, the flow sensor itself is replacable, if costly. Finally, keep CYA levels good, and keep the pool cleaned. A bit of extra chlorine loss and you'll find algae blooming in no time. This thing can't really keep up in fighting algae, so you'll have to use chemical shock anyway. Whoever told you that saltwater pools would save you money in the long run lied to you. But it is less of a hassle as long as you keep things maintained well, and you can get less frightened about going on a vacation and things not being in a complete mess when you return. I've heard good things about using Borates with this generator, but I've not yet tried it. Something to consider. Update April 2020: I've added a star back. This has now run 3 full seasons, and I expect it to run again this year. I'm going to chalk the other failed models up to the way the pool used to be taken care of. Since replacing this and following the Trouble Free Pool methods of pool care and not dumping random chemicals, I've not had many problems with this new unit. I still think when the water hits below 65 degrees it's no longer trustworthy, and I still think the flow sensor is the weak link, but overall the unit works great as long as I keep my water balanced. Additionally, I have not yet had to even clean this new unit - the auto-clean functionality seems sufficient, and I haven't had the "needs cleaning" LED come on yet. I am also careful to keep my salt levels on the low side - do not rely on this unit's sensor to just dump more salt, but take a real reading with good strips and adjust salinity carefully. It seems that babying the unit a bit allows it to last longer. ... show more

    • Same price, quicker arrival
Style: New
My salt cell went bad so I tried research who had an IC-40 replacement locally or on the internet that was cheaper than my local pool store. No one carrried them locally and they would have to order one. Online the cheapest I could find was $50 less so I went to Amazon that would deliver in 2 days. No guess work if you’re only doing a replacement but this came with instructions for an Installer’s first time installation. Replacement was easier than cutting out the old zip ties and adding new zip ties in tight places. The algae is gone now to this new salt cell and no longer buying lots of chemicals since the problem is resolved. I love that I can now use my Pentair ScreenLogic app to read my salt level. No one likes spending lots of money but the old cell lasted 5 years as expected. ... show more
