I currently have a Breeze SGS 540 salt cell which I don't think has been keeping up chlorine production. I now get a fault light on one side of polarity - I make chlorine on the other side. I replaced the PCB and all looked encouraging for a while but then the fault came back on negative polarity. So... I think it's time to kick the Breeze to the curb.

I have a Pentair Easytouch panel so I assume the best would be to buy a Pentair SWG. Guessing an IC60 as I estimate my pool at 32k gallons.

Couple of questions :

1. Are my assumptions good that it's better to stick with Pentair as I have the electronics there to control it (I assume)
2. How tough is the install ? plumbing is easy, and if I am just getting AC voltage to the power center and then wiring contacts into the Easytouch panel, it seems not too tough. Am I underestimating this ?

Thanks in advance for help. Between Leslies and the friendly neighborhood pool lady who just kept throwing shock in every week for $50 a week it took me this long to figure out the salt cell was gone (and likely undersized to begin with).
 
Is your Easytouch salt ready? Easiest way to tell is to look for the small black 4-pin connection on the bottom front-left of the panel. If so, IntelliChlor is a logical choice.
If not, you will need to purchase the power center for the cell. Adds a measurable cost. You'd then have to Rs485 to the panel to control the salt cell.
