Review: LOVE the new Model! - I hope this review is helpful! Like some reviews have mentioned - I thought I was ordering the old IC40 version as indicated in the desertcart posting, but I was sent the new model, Intellichlor Plus, instead. I had read some bad reviews about the new model. DO NOT believe them. I just received the new model and I'm so glad! (April, 2026) It works perfectly. It connected in the exact same place as my old, failed IC40, no modifications needed, just connect it, plug in the power/automation cord, and that's it! Works excellent, generating more chlorine than my original unit ever did. My Intellitouch automation mobile app recognizes and fully controls the device immediately. No special setup required. It is somewhat LARGER than the old unit, but connections are identical. It seems heavier and more solidly built than the old model. It arrived brand new in unopened Pentair packaging. Yes, it's totally too expensive, but if you have Intellitouch and an all-Pentair system, it's WORTH it. My only complaint is the new unit's internal salt-level measuring accuracy seems to be off...indicating about 800 ppm more than what I'm actually measuring in the water using a Taylor K-1766 Sodium Chloride test kit (also purchased on desertcart). But seems consistent, so no big deal. I'll always know that minor conversion, and verify anyway with my more-accurate Tayler test. Get the new model!
Review: Easy installation instructions - Works great - as soon as it is installed have water tested to set the chlorinator- make adjustments due to weather temperature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE the new Model!
*by J***O on 25 April 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy installation instructions
*by M***T on 15 July 2026*

Works great - as soon as it is installed have water tested to set the chlorinator- make adjustments due to weather temperature.

### ⭐ Doesn’t work. Different size. New version is being marketed as old known product.
*by R***H on 27 June 2026*

It’s not the same product. Don’t let all the photos fool you it’s the plus model that has multiple issues. It still has all the reviews of the old model that works but that is not longer available and the plus is a different size along with known defects. I got a defective model that starts producing chlorine for 30 minutes then turns off. I have tried every level of flow and it needs more flow than the previous model so keep that in mind for energy bills. It’s not the same size. Yes it’s the same length but if you have pipes close together it may not fit. I had to rework lots of pvc in a tight spot to allow it to have extra clearance on the sides. It recalculates often and then turns off. It will not tell you why. Salt is good. Flow is good. No chlorine. Slowly moving away from pentair as a whole pool system provider as each iteration seems to be more finicky and less reliable than the last.
