Pentair IntelliChlor IC15 Salt Chlorine Generator | EC-520888

Pentair IntelliChlor IC15 Salt Chlorine Generator | EC-520888

Pentair EC-520888 is the IntelliChlor IC15 salt chlorine generator for aboveground pools, supplied with its external power supply. It converts dissolved pool salt into chlorine while the circulation system is running.

Sizing for your pool

Start with pool volume, then consider daily chlorine demand and the time available for circulation. A cell operated for only part of the day cannot produce its full 24-hour rating. Have your pool professional confirm whether IC15 provides enough capacity during peak swimming weather.

Controls and daily operation

Cell-mounted indicators help you check operating status, and output controls let you adjust production as pool demand changes. Flow, temperature and salt conditions can affect operation. Investigate an alert using the troubleshooting section before increasing output or replacing equipment.

Installation and ownership

Use the supplied IC15 power equipment and have the installation checked against the IC15 manual, pool requirements and local electrical rules. Plan a location that permits later cell inspection and service.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Does it include a power supply?

Yes. Pentair lists EC-520888 with the external IC15 power supply. Follow the IC15-specific guide for installation.

What size pool can it serve?

Pentair rates IC15 for pools up to 15,000 gallons. This is a nominal maximum, not a promise for every installation. Heat, sunlight, swimmer load and operating hours affect the required chlorine output.

Does a salt pool still contain chlorine?

Yes. The cell produces chlorine from salt. Continue testing sanitizer, pH and other water-balance parameters; the cell does not measure free chlorine or replace water-care work.

Is it maintenance-free?

No. Automatic polarity reversal helps reduce scale, but the cell still needs inspection and cleaning when indicated. Follow the manual rather than applying a fixed acid-cleaning schedule.

Can I replace a different IntelliChlor model with this one?

Confirm the required output, existing plumbing and power equipment first. Match the model and installation guide before ordering; a similar product name alone does not establish compatibility.
