## Description

Review: As advertised - The original Pentair salt cell that came with the pool installation of lasted about 5-6 years. I replaced it with an off brand because it was cheaper. So I saved money at the time, but the replacement salt cell only lasted 2 years. Replacement brand sells also. Do not allow for full functionality like setting the chlorine level from your remote app. This time I decided to go back to the Pentair salt cell and was surprised after shopping around that this one was offered at a much cheaper price than every other Pentair supplier locally or online. I was thinking all kinds of scenarios like maybe it was refurbished, or didn't have all the parts or wiring, or wouldn't come with a warranty. I was pleasantly surprised that it came in the original sealed factory box, included all parts, including replacement pipe connectors and gaskets, and has the full 2 year factory warranty. Installation was quick and easy. No leaks and up and running with full functionality. If you are looking to replace your Pentair salt cell, it is worth it to get this one at such a deeply discounted price. Not sure how they do it, but everything looks just fine, and delivery even arrived 2 days earlier, then expected. Their customer support is responsive as well. I had a question up front before I purchased it and they answered me within an hour.
Review: Solid design and construction; E-Z to install.... - Very happy with my Pentair IntelliChlor! If this one lasts as long as our last one did, I will be ecstatic! After our original Pentair unit slowly faded beginning mid-summer 2014 (cell indicator light continuously flashing), it was still able to maintain chlorine at proper levels for the remainder of the season and even limped along over the subsequent winter (we live in the sunny south and don't winterize our pool). However, at start-up this year it was finally done--even blew the fuse in the Power Center. After replacing the fuse and ensuring I couldn't squeeze any more life out of our original unit, it was a no-brainer deciding to buy another IntelliChlor: 1) E-Z repair--remove and replace (using existing Power Center); 2) cheaper than changing systems (again, same Power Center); and 3) was very pleased with original unit that kept our pool beautiful for nine seasons (Did I mention we don't winterize? Pump runs year-round, less operating hours and reduced chlorine output selected on unit, but runs all winter) The only slightly picky technical thing I would mention is that the Control Panel (where indicator lights are located) will be "upside down" when installed in correct flow direction due to a Pentair redesign to support vertical mounting of the unit. Read online elsewhere that it is possible to "flip" the control panel but chose not to because I didn't want to risk damaging the housing; and besides with our pump configuration it's still easy to read. Also have to mention the quality construction of this unit matched the quality of original installed with our pool (pleasant surprise when replacing an expensive equipment item). And the streamlined functionality of this unit, evidently part of the redesign, would seem to indicate Pentair invests in and strives to improve their product line. Unless something unforeseen happens--I'm a dedicated Pentair customer!
