Pentair Debris Cross Guard Kit for IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generators, 5 Pack, 521633

The Pentair 521633 is a kit of five debris cross guards for Pentair IntelliChlor salt chlorine generators. It is the Brand OEM guard that keeps larger debris from reaching the inside of the cell, and it is sold as a five pack rather than singly.

Why a guard matters

Pentair's IntelliChlor guide notes that some filters let debris pass through to the cell, where it can lodge between the electrode blades. The guide recommends removing the cell for inspection every two months, and at least twice a year once it has stayed clean. Anything that keeps larger pieces out of the cell body makes those inspections easier and protects one of the more expensive items on the equipment pad.

Pack and fit

The kit holds five cross guards and no cell. It is listed for Pentair IntelliChlor salt chlorine generators, which Pentair builds in cell sizes rated for pools up to 20,000, 40,000 and 60,000 gallons. A five pack suits a service company that looks after several IntelliChlor systems as much as an owner who wants spares on the shelf.

Before you order

Order by part number 521633. This listing is the guards only, so a scaled or worn cell is a separate purchase, and the acid wash kit for cleaning a cell is a separate Pentair item.
