Advances in Auto Chlorine Generation

K Keeping the water in your pool sanitized and crystal clear is now easier than ever. Salt chlorine generators use common table salt to produce all the chlorine your pool needs. New IntelliChlor™ from Pentair provides this convenience and goes further. Its built-in, user-friendly controls make managing your pool’s chlorine level easier and more foolproof than older systems—in fact, chlorine adjustment is as straightforward as pressing two buttons.

Getting started with IntelliChlor is simple. Ordinary table salt is added to your pool water…less than a teaspoon of salt per gallon of pool water is all that’s required. As the dissolved salt flows through the generator cell, it is electrolytically converted to pure chlorine, which is then distributed throughout the pool, sanitizing the water, keeping it fresh, clear, and safe. Plus pool water feels softer and silkier.

Just how much more convenient is a chlorine generator for sanitizing your pool? Unlike conventional chlorine additives that must be constantly replenished, the salt used by a chlorine generator is day after day, reducing pool maintenance requirements.

Monitoring chlorine production in your pool is simple with IntelliChlor. It’s the only chlorine generator with all controls and displays built into the cell—and the only one providing so much helpful feedback to you. Its easy-to-view displays allow you to quickly check salt levels, cell cleanliness, sanitizer output, and water flow. It takes out all the guesswork by letting you know when to add salt, and you can easily adjust chlorine output by pressing either the “less” or “more” button.

“Strong chlorine smell are a thing of the past.”

While most people blame chlorine for these problems, they are actually caused by other additives in the standard chlorine you buy at retail.  These extra elements alter the water chemistry, requiring the pool owner to adjust the pH, alkalinity, and other levels in the pool. The IntelliChlor creates pure chlorine with no other additives, and therefore does not alter the water chemistry, resulting in a clear, carefree pool.

Another undesirable element in pools is chloramines, a chlorine by-product.  Chloramines form when active, sanitizing chlorine combines with ammonia compounds in the pool—for example, perspiration. Their presence is noted by a strong chlorine odor.  The IntelliChlor eliminating chloramines and their irritating side effects, making your pool experience much more enjoyable.

The IntelliChlor stands up in the most demanding pool conditions for years of dependable performance. Its titanium electrode cell blades are rated for more than 10,000 hours of operation—five years of reliable chlorine output under normal operating conditions. The control electronics are isolated in the cell, away from high heat components, for longer cell life. And its rugged dependable power supply/transformer is UL Approved. By every measure, IntelliChlor is the new standard in automatic chlorine generation for ease and certainty of pool sanitization. For more information, talk to your dealer or visit www.pentairpool.com
