Product details

Pentair 523103 is the acid washing kit sold for the iChlor salt cell. It is the genuine Pentair part.

What acid washing does

A salt cell makes chlorine by driving current through a stack of coated plates. In hard water, calcium plates out on those surfaces and forms a white crust. The crust insulates the plates, so the cell has to work harder for less chlorine, and eventually the system reports low output or shuts the cell down. Acid washing dissolves that deposit and returns the plates to bare metal.

Before you clean

Cleaning is not a substitute for a cell that has reached the end of its life. If the plates are clean and the output is still down, the cell itself is worn. Confirm the model printed on your cell before ordering so you get the kit made for it.
