Plus the 70 + trips to the store to buy it and then 700 times to add it one gallon at a time.

They could do a plan where they give you the cell and then bill you $0.20 per hour of production.
Every month, they bill you for time used.
If the cell fails, they just give you a new one.
If you ran at 100% for 24 hours, that is 1.4 lbs at $4.80 or $3.42 per lb of chlorine gas.
10,000 hours would add up to $2,000.00 total vs. about $1,500.00 to buy the cell.

As long as the service terms include fixes and replacements at no cost AND stupid chemistry (is, phosphates) exclusions aren’t used …

You’re missing some things for those of us that are a plus chem business model…
*Does not include chemicals that are necessary to maintain proper sanitization. Chems will be billed at a standard rate as applied unless you require dosages on holidays, emergencys, or are generally a PITA, then extra charges may apply. Dogs, farm animals, children without swim diapers, and bird Crud will be treated as emergency calls and billed at a significantly higher rate when you call freaking out because fluffy the poodle poo’d in the pool after shedding her swim sweater.
*Pool filling will be billed at standard hourly rates. What you can’t just drag the hose to your pool to top it up?
*Pool draining due to rainfall will be billed at customary hourly rates unless you call on the 4th of July or another holiday and are freaking out because you think your pool is over full. Then PITA rates will apply for demanding a service that could take place on the next regularly scheduled service visit for no charge.
*Filter cleanings are billed as a separate service. When fluffy the poodle swims too much and poo’s in the pool clogging your filter causing the pool to turn green due to lack of circulation and equipment shutdown, you will be charged the PITA rate for the callout and subsequent cleaning. Extra aggravation charges may apply.
*Anything not expressly covered above will be charged at an additional rate and likely PITA charges will apply.
There you go….fixed it for you.

Interesting yours of the same vintage has QC issues, My feb 2021 manufacture date IC60 just died shorted (pops the 12A ET fuse when attached).
I actually only have the 60 because of shortages at the time, was hoping to get more than 4 years out of it as I ran it most of the time at 20%. Looks like I can probably get by with the LT25-- though I think I'd have to replumb as it's not as long as the 40/60.
They make an adapter/ dummy pipe to make the IC15/30 fit in the gap of the IC20/40/60. The two new models are the same size as the old models so the extender pipe should work too.
