IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator Overview
®
The IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator (IECG) salt chlorinator uses a process known as electrolysis to
produce chlorine gas which immediately dissolves into a solution to create Hypochlorite (a pool and spa water
sanitizer) from a low concentration of salt added to the pool water. Hypochlorite kills bacteria, oxidizes organic
material, and kills algae, then reverts back to salt. The IECG then reuses the salt and the process starts over
again. The IntelliChlor system is comprised of the IECG and Power Center.
CAUTION - The IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator (IECG) is designed only to produce chlorine. The
IECG does not monitor or control chlorine levels in the pool or spa water. It is the pool owner's responsibility for
monitoring and maintaining free chlorine levels at the APSP recommended range of 2.0 to 4.0 parts per million
(ppm). It is the pool owner's responsibility to check, on a regular basis, the free chlorine level while the pool
pump is running, and adjust the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator accordingly.
WARNING - Salt is an inherently corrosive material. While the levels of salt required for proper operation
of the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator are relatively low when compared to sea water and other salt
solutions, placing any amount of salt in your pool increases the likelihood of corrosion or other deterioration of
pool equipment and any surfaces used in and around your pool. Metal parts (including steel pools) and certain
natural and man-made surfaces are particularly susceptible to corrosion and deterioration when used in and
around salt water pools. Pentair Water Pool and Spa ("Pentair") does not represent or otherwise guarantee that
the proper use of the IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator will prevent corrosion or other deterioration of
pool equipment and any surfaces used in and around your pool. Consult your experienced pool professional,
who should be able to advise you on the proper material selection, installation techniques for those materials,
and the proper use, care and maintenance of those materials for your specific pool type and location in order to
minimize the corrosion and deterioration that is inherent in and around salt water pools.
CAUTION - FOR ALL NEWLY CONSTRUCTED OR RESURFACED PLASTER POOLS: Do not operate
the IECG with newly poured or resurfaced pool plaster. Salt is a corrosive element and severe salt
damage can occur to your pool. Wait at least ONE (1) MONTH after construction to allow plaster to cure
before adding salt and operating IECG. Follow the pool surface manufacturer's guidelines for your
specific pool.
FOR NEW VINYL LINER POOLS, contact the manufacturer for recommended guidelines before
adding salt and operating the IECG.
