Pentair's new IntelliChlor® Plus and LT Salt Chlorine Generators introduce several updates compared to the existing iChlor and IntelliChlor models. Here's a breakdown of their key differences:

Form Factor and Compatibility:

• IntelliChlor Plus and LT Models: The IntelliChlor LT15, LT25, and Plus30 are designed to match the form factor of the iChlor series, facilitating straightforward replacements without significant plumbing modifications. In contrast, the IntelliChlor Plus40 and Plus60 align with the form factor of the traditional IntelliChlor series.
• iChlor and IntelliChlor Models: The iChlor series features a more compact design compared to the IntelliChlor series. Notably, the iChlor cell is shorter than the IntelliChlor cell, and Pentair offers an IntelliChlor to iChlor Adapter Kit (523101) to accommodate replacements where necessary.

Performance and Capacity:

• IntelliChlor Plus and LT Models: These newer models offer a range of capacities to suit various pool sizes. For instance, the IntelliChlor Plus40 and Plus60 are designed for larger pools, providing enhanced chlorine production capabilities.
• iChlor and IntelliChlor Models: The iChlor series includes models like the iChlor 15 and iChlor 30, suitable for smaller to medium-sized pools. The IntelliChlor series offers models such as the IC20, IC40, and IC60, catering to a broader range of pool sizes with higher chlorine output capacities.

Reliability and User Feedback:

• Users have reported that the IntelliChlor series is more reliable, especially for larger pools, with recommendations to opt for models like the IC40 as a minimum for certain pool sizes.

In summary, the IntelliChlor Plus and LT Salt Chlorine Generators provide updated designs that enhance compatibility with existing installations and offer a range of capacities to meet diverse pool sanitation needs. The choice between these new models and the existing iChlor and IntelliChlor models should be based on specific pool requirements, desired capacity, and compatibility considerations.
