Product Description

The Pentair IntelliChlor Plus30 Salt Chlorine Generator Cell (EC-523730) is a high-performance replacement cell designed for residential pools up to 30,000 gallons. It is the upgraded, direct drop-in replacement for the discontinued iChlor 30 (model 523009), requiring no additional plumbing or electrical modifications

 

Key Features

  • Efficient Chlorine Production: Generates approximately 1.10 lbs of pure chlorine every 24 hours, eliminating the need to manually handle, store, or carry traditional chlorine.
  • Modular Design: Features a new modular structure that allows for individual replacement of electronics and sensors, reducing maintenance time by over 50%.
  • SmartSense™ Technology: Automatically detects pump activity and pool cover status to accurately adjust chlorine output, preventing over-chlorination and extending cell life.
  • Advanced Diagnostics: Includes an easy-to-read LCD/LED interface with over 20 built-in diagnostics and warnings for real-time monitoring of salt levels, water flow, and cell status.
  • Improved Accuracy: Equipped with a redesigned conductivity sensor that provides salt level readings with 98% accuracy, comparable to laboratory-grade salinity meters.
  • Self-Cleaning Function: Uses reverse polarity technology to automatically clean titanium blades, which minimizes calcium and scale buildup to maximize the cell's lifespan.
  • Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with existing Pentair automation systems like IntelliCenter®, EasyTouch®, and IntelliTouch® for remote monitoring and control.

⚠️ Critical Safety Warnings

WIRING HAZARD: The Power Center must be wired to the load side of the pump timer. If the cell has power while the pump is off, explosive chlorine gas can build up.
NO "ACID DIPS": Never submerge the entire cell in an acid bath. Submerging the external electronics will cause permanent failure. Only soak the internal blades.
ACID SAFETY: ALWAYS add acid to water, never water to acid. Adding water to concentrated acid can cause a violent, splashing reaction.
💡 Pro Maintenance & Installation Tips
  • The Spacer Rule: For newly plastered pools, use a spacer cell (P/N 520588) for the first 30 days to protect titanium blades from plaster dust.
  • Vertical Install: Water flow must always be directed upwards through the cell to prevent hazardous gas pockets.
  • The 3-Foot Rule: Install the cell at least 3 feet away from your heater outlet to protect sensors from extreme heat.
  • Phosphate Check: High phosphate levels act as "chlorine food," making the cell appear to be failing when it is simply being outpaced by consumption.
PROCEED WITH CAUTION: Salt chlorine generators involve high-voltage electricity and sensitive water chemistry. Professional installation by a licensed pool technician is highly recommended.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER: This is a "Cell Only" SKU. An existing Pentair Power Center is required for operation. If performing a new conversion, you must purchase the full Power Center + Cell bundle.
