Intellichlor IC15 Above Ground Chlorine Generator Salt Cell (US version). This cell includes an external power supply.
Sparkling Pool Water has Never Been This Easy!
Electrolytic chlorine generation is the easiest, most effective, and most convenient way to keep your pool water crystal clear and safe. The IntelliChlor IC15 salt chlorine generator uses table salt to produce all the chlorine your above-ground pool needs.
Simple and Safe
Monitoring chlorine production is easy with the IntelliChlor IC15. It’s the only one with all controls and displays built into the cell—and the only one providing so much helpful feedback to you. Just select from one of five sanitizing levels to easily manage chlorine addition.
I have a pool that is about 10,000 gallons but I am thinking of buying a salt chlorine system for pools up to 20,000 gallons. Would the larger unit be a problem?
Reply
It is not a problem to oversize a salt system. It would take the larger unit less time to produce the necessary chlorine so it is actually more efficient. When the pool volume is very close to the capacity of the salt chlorine generator (for example, the pool is 18,000 gallons and the generator is rated at a maximum of 20,000 gallons), we would recommend going up to the next size generator.

Is the salt included with the salt chlorine generator?
Reply
No, salt is not included. You would purchase the salt locally and the quantity will depend upon the number of gallons of water in your pool. Use a salt that is at least 99.8% pure NaCl. The preferred salt is evaporated, granulated, food quality, and NON-iodized. Avoid using salt with anti-caking agents like sodium ferrocyanide, also known as yellow YPS (prussiate of soda). These cause some discoloration of fittings and pool surface finishes. DO NOT use calcium chloride.

why are some models recommended for above ground pools. What are the design differences between a chlorinator model for in ground pools and the above ground models?
Reply
Hello Don- The key difference is this system is that it is an 115v system and comes with an external power supply that would plug into a regular outlet where are the in-ground systems would connect directly to a breaker.
