13.4 volts x 3.91 amps = 52.4 watts, so the numbers seem off.
I would expect the voltage to be double or about 26.8 VDC for most SWGs.

Maybe my Google Foo is off but I couldn't find a PDF of the manual for the new SWGs. Nice that you posted a screen shot of the outputs. You would think the manual would be made available online.
I went back and looked. On page 5 of the manual, it actually says 25 GPM +/- 5 GPM.
3. What does the QR code on the user interface (HMI) do?
a. When the QR code is scanned, it will take a viewer directly to a product page onwww.pentair.com to access such as manual, sell sheet, handy calculators, registration links and more.

Seems like they do not want to make it easy for customers to find information.
IntelliChlor® Plus & LT Salt Chlorine Generators
The IntelliChlor® Plus & LT Salt Chlorine Generators are new and improved designs that use ordinary table salt to help make pools cleaner, clearer, and silkier.

Should we take bets that all the serviceable parts are designed with planned obsolescence in mind ?
They sure make it sound like it'll work in our favor. But.

An O-Ring for the Sensor Module is available as a replacement part (523771).
The O-Ring is also included in the sensor module assembly replacement kit (523769).
37. What is the warranty of the new IntelliChlor Plus & LT SCGs as TradeGrade Products?a. Three years for IntelliChlor Plus Salt Chlorine Generators (or 10,000 hours,whichever comes first) and two years for IntelliChlor LT Salt Chlorine Generators (or8,000 hours, whichever comes first).

No….Pentair likes you to be in the special super secret club to get info. You need to be authorized by 76.9 layers of beauracracy and know the secret handshake to get information. Don’t get me started on their required authorizations to perform warranty work on their equipment that’s broke when delivered.QR code goes here.

I think that them going for serviceability is a good thing, we'll see what the parts cost and the availability to see if repair can be an option or if it will be cheaper to replace, hopefully not. After not being able to get at where I needed in the prior model I am at least happy they are making this one a little more accessible if something goes wrong.

Ha, ha, that was my first [cynical] thought, too! Along those lines:I thought "how nice of Pentair to include the lifecycle reduction tool in the kit"
--Jeff
It speaks volumes about Pentair "engineers" that it took them all these years to finally figure out the LED should be labeled "Chlorinating" instead of "Cell." It feels like one of them finally got a pool!!
But hey, we'll take what we can get. This is a significant upgrade from my IC40, so credit where credit is due. And they chose to make these drop in replacements, they could have easily gone another way. Great job Pentair, and thank you so much @Skenn81 for this awesome review.
I have the dreaded "zero salt" problem with my latest IC40, though it's still generating. Same failure my first one had. Time will tell if this upgrade is just "prettier," or if it addresses some of the other problems the IC has had, especially that awful flow switch/salt reader combo. [Back to cynical mode!]

Hey my thread is now "Featured". I guess this is my 15 minutes of fame? I always wondered if that saying was true. Also never would have guessed it would happen on a swimming pool forum.

It’s definitely been redesigned…better is tbd….heres an excerpt from one the the PowerPoint presentations regarding the sensor redesign. I’ll keep digging for more detailed info.

That sounds fantastic!
Now I wonder if it'll still be compatible with my IntellipH. The IpH talks to and controls the IC, especially during acid dispensing, when it temporarily bypasses the IC to prevent acid and chlorine dispensing at the same time. That'd be a biggie for me. I still should have many years to go on my current IC, so it'll be a while before I'll know for sure. But Pentair must have taken steps to maintain compatibility with EasyTouch and IntelliCenter, etc, so hopefully the comms and protocols didn't change.

I wonder how much a replacement sensor mode will cost when one of the three sensors fails.
Any bets on how long before clone sensor modules appear on Amazon?
