IntelliChlor ® Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG) Overview
The IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG) uses a process known as electrolysis to produce chlorine gas
which immediately dissolves into a solution to create Hypochlorite and Hypochlorous acid pool and spa water
sanitizer from a low concentration of salt added to the pool water. Hypochlorite and Hypochlorous kill bacteria,
oxidizes organic material, and kills algae, then reverts back to salt. The IntelliChlor SCG then reuses the salt and
the process starts over again. The IntelliChlor SCG residential system is comprised of the IntelliChlor SCG cell
and Power Center.
The IntelliChlor SCG is designed only to produce chlorine. The IntelliChlor SCG 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 SCG accordingly.
Salt is an inherently corrosive material. While the levels of salt required for proper operation of the
IntelliChlor SCG 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, Inc. ("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. 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.
FOR ALL NEWLY CONSTRUCTED OR RESURFACED PLASTER POOLS: Do not operate the IntelliChlor
SCG 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 IntelliChlor SCG. 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 IntelliChlor SCG.
