IntelliChlor ® Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG) Overview
®
The IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator IC15 (SCG) salt chlorinator 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 SCG then
reuses the salt and the process starts over again. The IntelliChlor system is comprised of the SCG and Power
Center.
The IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG) is designed only to produce chlorine. The
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 1-3 ppm for pools and 3-5 ppm for
spas. 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 Salt Chlorine Generator accordingly.
Salt is an inherently corrosive material. While the levels of salt required for proper
operation of the IntelliChlor Salt 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 Salt 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.
FOR ALL NEWLY CONSTRUCTED OR RESURFACED PLASTER POOLS: Do not
operate the 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 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.
