Pentair IntelliChlor Plus40 Salt Cell Chlorine Generator

Product Description

The Pentair IntelliChlor Plus40 Salt Cell Chlorine Generator is an advanced, commercial-grade water sanitation system engineered to provide automated sanitization for residential inground swimming pools up to 40,000 gallons. Representing the next generation of saltwater chlorination technology, the Plus40 model builds upon the original IC40 framework by integrating enhanced diagnostics, increased sensor precision, and a highly serviceable modular configuration. By utilizing natural, granulated table salt dissolved in the pool water, this electrolytic cell safely, effectively, and automatically generates pure chlorine on demand, eliminating the expensive, hazardous, and labor-intensive processes associated with buying, storing, and manually dosing traditional liquid or tablet sanitizers.

Equipped with cutting-edge SmartSense technology, the system exhibits elevated operational intelligence by dynamically tracking the pool’s equipment status. It automatically halts or scales back chlorine production whenever the filtration pump shuts down or when an integrated automatic pool cover is deployed, preventing unnecessary chemical concentration and extending overall component longevity. The exterior casing features a heavy-duty, UV-stabilized polyurethane coating engineered to withstand extreme sunlight and harsh equipment pad conditions over long periods without degrading.

A primary engineering highlight of the Plus40 is its completely redesigned modular layout. Unlike older single-body configurations, the internal components are completely segmented. The 3-in-1 sensor module—housing a redesigned conductivity sensor, an integrated flow switch, and a high-precision water temperature sensor—can be unbolted and swapped out over 50% faster without discarding the entire structural cell housing. The newly optimized conductivity sensor ensures an outstanding 98% laboratory-grade accuracy reading for pool salinity, minimizing frustrating false alarms and ensuring perfectly balanced water chemistry.

The system features a user-friendly, push-button electronic interface shielded by a slide-on protective sun cover. This built-in control panel displays real-time statistics across 20 different diagnostic parameters, tracking operational hours, salt levels, water temperature, cell cleanliness, and remaining blade lifespan. For quick manual chemical adjustments, a dedicated Boost Mode forces the generator to run at 100% capacity for 24 continuous hours to rapidly shock the pool after heavy bather loads or severe weather. Designed for seamless mechanical flexibility, the Plus40 serves as a direct drop-in replacement that perfectly retrofits into existing first-generation IntelliChlor or iChlor unions with zero plumbing modifications required.
