IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator

We get the most questions about intellichlor salt chlorine generators, so we figured we’d create this helpful resource guide for you!

Salt level?

What should the salt level be?

The intellichlor is set to function when the salt level is between 2800 ppm and 4500 ppm. Too little, it cannot make chlorine. Too much salt and it also cannot (should not) make chlorine and can cause additional voltage issues with your pool and equipment.

Blinking Lights/Colors?

Salt Level Status LEDs
The IntelliChlor SCG checks the pool salinity water daily and displays the
levels as follows:

Green Steady LED Light {intelliChlor}

Green LED: Good salt. The pool water salt level is between 2800
ppm and 4500. The salt target is 3600ppm for your intellichlor scg

Salt Target: 3600ppm {intelliChlor}

Flashing Green LED Light {intelliChlor}

Green LED (Flashing): Salt level is above 4500 ppm. The salt level
is high which increases the risk of corrosion and deterioration of pool
equipment and surfaces in and around the pool.

Steady RED LED Light {intelliChlor}

Red LED: Low salt. The water salt level is below 2800 ppm. The
IntelliChlor SCG will be producing chlorine at reduced efficiency. It is
highly recommended to add salt.

Status LED Lights {intelliChlor}

Cold Water LED Lights {intelliChlor}

Cold Water: Shows the IntelliChlor SCG power status:
• No Light: The IntelliChlor SCG is operating in the normal
temperature range (> 52° F (11° C)
• Red: The IntelliChlor SCG is in “Standby” mode (system off,
no chlorine production) due to a cold water condition. The
IntelliChlor SCG will resume to normal operation mode,
including accurate salinity report, once water temperature
goes above 52° F (11° C).

GREEN Flashing Cell Status LED Light {intelliChlor}

Cell: Shows the status of the IntelliChlor SCG.
• Green (flashing): The IntelliChlor SCG needs to be
inspected. The blades may have calcium buildup. The
IntelliChlor SCG is not producing chlorine.

GREEN Steady Cell Status LED Light {intelliChlor}

Cell Status LED Light {intelliChlor}
• Green: IntelliChlor SCG is good and producing chlorine
No Light: IntelliChlor SCG is off and not producing chlorine.
It may be in an off-period of the sanitizing cycle and will
return on shortly.

Flow Status LED Light {intelliChlor}

Flow: This light indicates the status of water flowing through the
IntelliChlor SCG.

Status LED Light {intelliChlor}

RED FLOW Status LED Light {intelliChlor}

• Red: Insufficient water flow through the IntelliChlor

See () Note below. Red LED: Very low salt. The water salt level has fallen below 2600 ppm. The IntelliChlor SCG will not produce chlorine until salt is added. The IntelliChlor SCG is OFF. See () Note below.
NOTE (*): After every salt addition, pump should be allowed to
run for at least 24 hours for proper dilution. Salinity readings should only be taken after the dilution period.
