What customers say
Users highly value the IntelliChlor IC20 for its core function: consistently delivering crystal clear, soft pool water with excellent automation. The performance while operational is praised, offering superior convenience over traditional methods. However, a significant theme revolves around poor long-term value. While initial setup is often simple, the high replacement cost relative to the typical lifespan of three to five seasons causes considerable frustration. This dichotomy means customers are satisfied with the immediate results but dissatisfied with the ongoing financial burden required to maintain the system's necessary function.
