Did you provide them the discount code you received by being a TFP supporter? Speak to Margaret if there is ever any questions.

The replacement cell definitely makes more chlorine than my IC40 did. I used to run the IC40 (installed in 2016) 10 hours per day at 100% to hold my FC constant.
With this replacement cell, it's holding steady at 30% running 8 hours per day. I just hope it lasts as long. If I get 5 years out of it. I think I'll be quite satisfied.

Which generic did you end up going with? Intheswim or discountsaltpool?

Just ordered one of these. I went with the replacement for the IC60, even though I had an IC40. I'm hoping to get more life out of it, for only $50 more.

The IC60 clone is not only available, but on sale for $725.
The IC40 clone is rated at 2.1 lbs / day instead of the OEM 1.4
The IC60 clone is rated at 3.1 lbs / day instead of the OEM 2.
DSP has been all but proven to overstate the outputs, but even if it's overhyped it's still likely at least as good as the Pentairs output. At less than half the price, I'd strongly consider it being able to buy 2 in the same timeframe if needed.

For what its worth I like my DSP SWG. They have a 7 year prorated warranty, which I have successfully used, and DSP is the only one that I know of that will warranty a DIY installation.
