Pentair Inelli Chlor IC40 Salt System
They have tried many different ways to treat pool and spa water over the years. What the water needs is a sterile environment. This will prevent algae and bacteria from growing. They tried adding copper to the water but this caused a lot of blue stains on the plaster. Ozone helps but without chlorine, it doesn’t work. Salt water pools have been around now for over 5-years. They finally found something that works. It works because salt cells make pure chlorine. Chlorine is still the best way to disinfect water.The good things about a salt water pool or spa is that it makes pure chlorine, no smell or taste. It doesn’t harm colored hair. It is very pleasant to swim in. The plaster will also have fewer stains and last longer.
Does a salt water pool save you money? Not really. You don’t need to buy chlorine anymore, but you use a lot of muriatic acid to lower the ph. levels, also as the cell makes chlorine, it used up salt. You have to add a lot more salt in the summer months than in the winter. The salt cell itself only lasts up to 5 years, and then you need a new one.
The first and most sold unit is the Hayward Goldline. This is the cheapest unit out there. It just has more problems with it than the Pentair Unit. It doesn’t last as long. The Jandy system is very sensitive to your salt reading. If you have too much salt, it will cause a lot of damage. The Jandy is also the most expensive unit.
Intellichlor IC40 is the most reliable and easy unit out there. It has simple green or red lights to know what’s going on. The sensor is built into the unit instead of having it plumbed into the pipes. This unit is also the most forgiving on the salt reading. The controls are very easy to use and are located on the unit itself.
The Intellichlor IC40 comes with a 1-year warranty on parts & labor. Pentair offers up to 3-years warranty on all equipment. The way this works is you get 1-extra year per equipment item installed at the same time, up to 3 years.
