IntelliChlor System Components

An IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator IntelliChlor system consists of one or more of the following:
• IC15 Cell (P/N 520888):
will produce the equivalent of 0.60 pounds of pure chlorine per 24 hours of continuous pool pump run
time.
• IC20 Cell (P/N 520554):
produce the equivalent of 0.70 lbs. of pure chlorine per 24 hours of continuous pool pump run time.
• IC40 Cell (P/N 520555):
produce the equivalent of 1.40 lbs. of pure chlorine per 24 hours of continuous pool pump run time.
• IC60 Cell (P/N 521105):
produce the equivalent of 2 lbs. of pure chlorine per 24 hours of continuous pool pump run time.
•
PC100 (P/N 520556):
IntelliChlor cell. Used for IC20, IC40 and IC60 IntelliChlor cell.

IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator Control Panel and Cell Description

The IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator (IECG) includes a control panel with buttons and
LED indicators to control the IECG and produce chlorine. The IECG measures the water
temperature and salt level to produce chlorine at the defined output. If the salt level in the pool
water is too low (red on salt display), the cell is turned off until salt is added to the pool. The
controller has a self-cleaning cycle which reverses the cell polarity, reducing calcium buildup. This
feature turns the cell on and off at regular intervals to minimize calcium and scale buildup and
further maximizes cell life.
The IECG contains the control electronics and bipolar electrodes that electrically produces chlorine
when energized with DC current. Chlorine is generated as pool water containing salt passes
through the cell. The chlorine production can be varied by either adjusting the sanitizer output level
on the control panel and/or by varying the number of hours the IECG is on each day. The IECG
automatically reverses the cell electrode blades every few hours to help clean the cell. This
process does not interrupt the production of Chlorine. The IECG also contains a mechanical
flow sensor to ensure the proper amount of water is passing through the cell to allow chlorination to
occur. The IECG automatically measures the water salinity and temperature and displays four (4)
salinity ranges on the control panel using LED indicators. The IECG includes a 15 ft. UL approved
four conductor 16-gauge cable for connection to the Power Center.
Flow Sensor: A flow sensor assures that there will always be adequate water flow
•
through the IECG. If the IECG is not properly plumbed and/or does not receive adequate
water flow, no chlorine will be produced.
Temperature Sensor: To protect the IECG from operation and potential damage when
•
the temperature of the pool water falls below 52° F, ±3° F (11° C, ±1.67° C), the
temperature sensor switches the IECG off, and no chlorine will be produced.
• Salt Sensor: Two (2) salt sensor probes in the IECG are activated each time the IECG is
switched on and again during every 12 hours of continuous running. At each of those
times, the salt level LED indicator lights flash in a scrolling sequence for two (2) minutes
to indicate that the IECG is in analysis mode. After two (2) minutes, the LED indicators
lights will signal one (1) of four (4) salinity ranges. For more information, see "Salt Level
Status LEDs" on page 7.
Note: The salt sensor reading is within +/- 500 ppm accuracy.
