kpal1123 Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 I have a 10,000 gallon chlorine pool that I want to change into a salt pool. It is just my wife & I and we live in Florida. No kids and no parties with others in the pool. I would like to use Pentair products. I have received many quotes and been told by them to go with every different Pentair unit. I understand that the IC number is how many gallons of water it will chlorinate. I understand that going with a larger unit, it will not have to work as hard and may prolong its life. Ive been told that I should go with the IC30 because when I need to replace it I can go with any other cell easily. Ive been told that the IC20 will be enough and if not I can replace with the IC40 being it uses the same power supply. Other companies only will install the IC40. The 30 looks like its an older, outdated version. Its just called Ichlor instead of Intellichlor. But no one will tell me the real differences. Is the IC30 the older model? Do the Intellichlors just have more lights? Can't any cell be replaced with another cell? Thats only whether you need a new power supply, right? Any help, thoughts, opinions appreciated. I just don't know how to pick without complete information that no one will give me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned them, so they would get a message and hopefully respond. It has nothing to do with being new or a "chic", they just aren't here often. We are all volunteers and have lives, but we do the best we can to help people, free of charge. Sorry if it's not in your expected timeframe. Best of luck.

Juli Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I'm not an expert and can't answer all your questions. But I see that no one has yet tried to help you, so maybe this will give you something. Here is a comparison table with different brands: https://www.discountsaltpool.com/Compare-Saltwater-Chlorine-Generator-Systems-for-Pools#nav-pentair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpal1123 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Thank you. I went with the Pentair IC-40. It seemed like overkill for a small 10,000 gallon pool but I figured maybe it would last longer being it was running less. From what I've heard I could run it like at 20%. To my surprise even at 40% I can't generate enough chlorine. I'm still trying to figure out why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
