Great question. There are a few factors that will impact what ppm of chlorine the pool can reach. A few of the factors include the amount of stabilizers in the pool, the amount of contaminants, and the other chemicals present in the water.

An ic40 per Pentair’s specs is capable of producing enough produce the equivalent of 1.4 lbs. of pure chlorine per 24 hours of continuous pool pump run time.

Overview

The IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG) uses a process known as electrolysis to produce chlorine gas which immediately dissolves into a solution to create Hypochlorite and Hypochlorous acid pool and spa water sanitizer from a low concentration of salt added to the pool water. Hypochlorite and Hypochlorous kill bacteria,oxidizes organic material, and kills algae, then reverts back to salt. The IntelliChlor SCG then reuses the salt and the process starts over again. The IntelliChlor SCG residential system is comprised of the IntelliChlor SCG cell and Power Center.

The IntelliChlor SCG is designed only to produce chlorine. The IntelliChlor SCG does not monitor or control chlorine levels in the pool or spa water. It is the pool ownerʼs responsibility for monitoring and maintaining free chlorine levels at the APSP recommended range of 2.0 to 4.0 parts per million (ppm). It is the pool ownerʼs responsibility to check, on a regular basis, the free chlorine level while the pool pump is running, and adjust the IntelliChlor SCG accordingly.
