The Pentair® IntelliChlor® Power Center (EC-520556) is a genuine Pentair® OEM Power Supply Unit that is required for IntelliChlor® IC15, IC20, IC40, and IC60 Salt Cells. This standalone power center converts AC power for safe, controlled chlorine generation, providing the necessary electrical interface between your IntelliChlor® salt chlorine generator cell and your pool's automation or timer system. It ensures reliable power conversion and communication for consistent chlorine output and system safety. Key components include a heavy-duty transformer, fuse, and DC power board. It features easy-to-read diagnostic LEDs and comes in a weatherproof outdoor enclosure with a hinged cover. Installation is generally considered easy, often taking less than an hour with basic wiring skills.

What customers say
Customer feedback centers on the Power Center's excellent performance versus its questionable long-term value. Users report that when replacing a failed unit, integration is seamless, immediately restoring reliable salt chlorination and consistent pool chemistry control. Many find the installation straightforward. However, significant frustration exists regarding the component's durability. A dominant theme is the perception that the original unit fails too soon, forcing an expensive replacement purchase. While the replacement performs its function well, the high cost and perceived lack of robustness temper overall satisfaction. Consumers value the immediate performance but question the system's overall cost effectiveness due to frequent required replacements.
