Nothing to replace on an iChlor 30? No replaceable cell?

[Skenn81]

I have one of these: iChlor Salt Chlorine Generator - TradeGrade

Folks here keep talking about having to replace the cell on their units every 5 years or so. From what I can see there is no cell on this and I just have to replace the whole thing? So do I start budgeting now that I am going to need to spend several thousand dollars every handful of years to keep a salt system?

You replace the complete cell with the iChlor. You reuse the Power Center.

Oy, so I have to spend $760 bucks every 5 years?

Is that normal for SWG ownership?

81,

Wow.. That is $150 bucks a year... How much per year did you spend on Chlorine tablets and weekly shock treatments??

Just like Chlorine tablets are consumables.. The same thing goes for a SWCG.

Thanks,
