I currently have a pentair chlorine tablet pool and wanting to install intellichlor 60. Could some one lead me to a thread with step by step installation starting with electrical to where to cut the pipe? Thank you
I installed my IC40 in April, 2021 and it hasn't been work since I first tried this April, 2023. I replaced the flow switch and when that didn't work, I called Pentair and was told the cell was bad but was not covered under warranty because I installed it myself. They stated the self installed warranty is 60 days, and installation by a pool professional is 2 years.You might want to check Pentair warranties with authorized dealer install vs DIY.
Sharp,Interestingly, a couple of weeks later, I looked up warranties on their website and the IntelliChlor SWGs state that the warranty is 2 years and does not require professional installation.
Thank you for showing me where to cut. I have an Easy Touch Pentaire control panel below. Can you teach me step by step how to install / wire IC-60 and power supply (I have to purchase this separately correct?)The 90s leading into this pipe may need to be angled up to make space for the cell to be above the ground.
Or do vertical install as shown in Installation Manual.
Have you reviewed the IntelliChlor Installation Manual?

Yes, you need to use the IntelliChlor Power Center.Thank you for showing me where to cut. I have an Easy Touch Pentaire control panel below. Can you teach me step by step how to install / wire IC-60 and power supply (I have to purchase this separately correct?)
Thank you she,Yes, you need to use the IntelliChlor Power Center.
The Power Center will connect to the LOAD screws of your Filer Pump Relay.
And the Power Center will have a RS-485 connection to one of your COMM blocks.
Post pics of your EasyTouch front panel open showing the high voltage wiring and a pic of the low voltage panel flipped open for more specific advice.
Ajw,Thank you she,
Here are the pictures. If you could point to exactly where my LOAD screws are for filter pump relay, I would truly appreciate it. Also do I have to purchase these on my own below? The products didn’t come with any extra cables or wiring. Thank you so much in advance.
1. 12-14 AWG three conductor cable for Intellichlor Power Center
2. 22 AWG four conductor cable for RS-485?
Also if you could help me locate where one of the COMM blocks are to connect the RS-485 wires, I’d appreciate it
I think the wiring is standard-ish but a mess. Do you have a multimeter?Here are the pictures. If you could point to exactly where my LOAD screws are for filter pump relay
Comm port is j20 on the easy touch which will be in the low voltage compartment (2 1/4 screws at the top and fold the panel down. )Also if you could help me locate where one of the COMM blocks are to connect the RS-485
Ahultin,Looking closer I'm reasonably certain that the above is correct. The 2 blue wires on the load screws go to the mastertemp (back row 2nd conduit from the left) and the 2 yellow wires go to the intelliflo2 pump.
