A commercial system requires an external ORP panel and sensor to produce chlorine upon demand as needed and is sold separately (The Acu-Trol AK110 pH/ORP system is recommended).
Failure to follow safety warnings and instructions can result in severe injury, death, or property damage.

CAUTION - Install the IECG a minimum of three (3) feet away from the heater outlet. CAUTION - It is recommended to install a Pentair two (2) inch CHECK VALVE (P/N 263042) between the input side of the IECG and the main heater output pipe.

IntelliChlor Commercial System Components An IntelliChlor Commercial System components can be configured as follows: • Stand-alone - No ORP: This system consists of one CIC60P cell, one PC100 power center, and no oxidation reduction potential (ORP) sensor/panel. Chlorine is dispensed on a timed basis, set by the MORE and LESS buttons on the cell.
IntelliChlor SCG Control Panel and Cell Description The IntelliChlor SCG includes a control panel with buttons and LED indicators to control the IntelliChlor SCG and produce chlorine (see page 7). The IntelliChlor SCG 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.
IntelliChlor ® SCG Power Center (CIC60P, CIC60S) The IntelliChlor Power Center converts AC electrical current to a low-voltage DC electrical current which is required to produce chlorine. The power supply is connected with the pool circulation pump electrical source so that the IntelliChlor SCG only operates when the pool pump is on.
- To avoid permanent damage to the IntelliChlor SCG cell, in-line chlorine/bromine feeders CAUTION ® (such as Pentair Water Pool and Spa Rainbow models) MUST be installed AFTER the IntelliChlor SCG cell as shown below. When using the IntelliChlor SCG with an in-floor cleaning system, it is recommended that a separate return line be used for the cleaner to reduce the increased water pressure stress on the IntelliChlor cell.
Loop Plumbing Diagram ® The IntelliChlor SCG is designed to operate with water flow rates from 20 to 30 gallons per minute (gpm) up to 105 gpm with a maximum pressure of 75 psi. Refer to the pipe manufacturer specifications for recommended maximum flow rate.
Pool Water Preparation Determining Pool Size (Gallons of Water in Your Pool) • Rectangular Pools: Length x width x average depth x 7.5 • Circular Pools: Diameter x diameter x average depth x 5.9 • Oval Pools: Length x width x average depth x 6.7 •...
Section 1 ® IntelliChlor SCG Control Panel Salt Level Status LEDs The IntelliChlor SCG checks the pool salinity water daily and displays the levels as follows: Green LED: Good salt. The pool water salt level is between 3300 ppm and 5000.
Operator Control Panel (continued) Sanitizer Output LED Indicators The five (5) LED indicators display as a bar graph to show the cell output in either 2% or 20% increments, the percentage of the total output capacity of chlorine being produced. Percentages from 2% to 10% are represented by blinking LEDs.
Pentair Water Pool and Spa (“Pentair”) does not represent or otherwise guarantee that the proper use of the IntelliChlor SCG will prevent corrosion or other deterioration of pool equipment and any surfaces used in and around your pool.
Pool Water Chemistry, Conditions and Precautions (Continued) 6. Metals - Some metals, i.e. copper and iron, can cause loss of chlorine. Also, metals can stain your ® pool. Metals can also damage the IntelliChlor SCG. Have your local pool professional check for metals and recommend methods of removal.
Chlorine Testing It is recommended that chlorine test samples be taken from two (2) locations in the pool. Compare the samples. A higher level should be found at the pool return line. The higher level at the pool return line indicates the IntelliChlor ®...
Calculating the Saturation Index The saturation index is a formula that measures a solution ability to dissolve or deposit calcium carbonate and is used as an indicator of the corroosivity of the solution and temperature. A well balanced water will have a formula result ranging between -0.3 and +0.3 Outside this range, the pool water is considered out of balance, The equation to calculate Si is: potentially damaging pool equipment or scaling the IntelliChlor SCG.
How to Add Salt to the Pool CAUTION - FOR ALL NEWLY SURFACED PLASTER POOLS: Do not operate the IntelliChlor SCG with newly surfaced 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 IntelliChlor SCG.

Section 3 ® Operating IntelliChlor This section describes the start up procedure and operating instructions for IntelliChlor ® SCG. Before starting up and operating the IntelliChlor SCG, the pool in which the IntelliChlor SCG will be used must have been completed and filled with water for at least one (1) month (for plaster pools) and the pool water salt level must be stable and being maintained at 3600 ppm.
If you use a Pool Pump Timer (Continued) Try initially setting the pool pump timer to twelve (12) hours. It will take a few days to achieve the correct ® amount of pool pump operating time. When IntelliChlor SCG is wired with a pool pump timer results will vary greatly from one pool installation to the next, so this should be discussed with your pool professional.
General Recommendations • After new pool construction has been completed, before installing the IntelliChlor ® SCG, install the IntelliChlor “empty cell” (P/N 520588) to remove debris from the pipes for thirty (30) days and to allow sufficient time for the pool plaster (or other similar material) to properly cure and seal. •...
Section 4 User Maintenance ® This section describes how to maintain the IntelliChlor SCG. Daily service None is needed. Weekly service pH Level Test: Test the pH level of your pool water with a reliable test method. If necessary, adjust according to your pool professional’s recommendations.
Monthly Service (Continued) Sample the pool water and test for cyanuric acid level using a reliable test method. Cyanuric Acid: When using the IntelliChlor SCG the recommended ideal cyanuric acid level is 30-50 ppm. Test pool water for calcium hardness level using a reliable test method. If Calcium Hardness: necessary, adjust according to your pool professional’s recommendations.
® Cleaning the IntelliChlor SCG Blades (Continued) b. To acid clean the IntelliChlor SCG blades: Disconnect the AC power from the Power Center. Disconnect the IntelliChlor SCG cell communication cable from the Power Center. c. Mix one (1) quart of muriatic acid with one (1) gallon of tap water in a plastic bucket. Note: The IntelliChlor SCG acid cleaning kit Working with muriatic acid can be dangerous.
Section 5 Installation This section describes how to install the IntelliChlor ® SCG into the pool plumbing system. Also, included are connection instructions for IntelliTouch, EasyTouch and SunTouch systems. Before installing, review the IntelliChlor kit contents and required tools. Note: For Power Center installation instructions, see the “IntelliChlor Power Center Installation Guide” (P/N 520590).
® IntelliChlor SCG “Pass- Through” Cell After new pool construction has been completed, in order to prevent debris from entering the IntelliChlor SCG, it is recommended that the IntelliChlor SCG “pass-through” cell (P/N 520588) be installed before installing the IntelliChlor SCG. After the pool system has flushed the debris from the pipes, remove the “dummy cell” and install the IntelliChlor SCG.
Connecting the IntelliChlor IC20, IC40 IC60 SCG Cell Power Cable to the Power Center After the cell installation is completed, connect InitelliChlor SCG cell’s power cable to the Power Center: WARNING - Switch OFF main system power to the Power Center before making any connections. 1.
Section 6 Troubleshooting ® Use the following troubleshooting information to resolve possible problems with the IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator. WARNING - Switch OFF main system power to the IntelliChlor SCG cell before before servicing. Note: Switch power off to unit before to attempting service or repair. Always remove AC power to Power Center when plugging or unplugging the IntelliChlor SCG cell into the Power Center.
