ichlor 30 replacement cell

[FlaPoolGuy]

Hi everyone. I am doing a multi part project to improve my pool, and I got a quote from a prospective contractor who wants to use the iChlor 30 (from Pentair) to convert my pool to salt water generation (SWCG/SWG). I am trying to think ahead, so I searched online today to find out how much the replacement cell costs. None of the obvious/reputable places have the iChlor 30 replacement cell. "PoolZoom" seems to have it, but their address, when typed into google and viewed on street view is actually a fabrics store (suspicious for fake website). poolcleaningparts.com- their address goes to a mailbox at a UPS store in Las Vegas, NV- not a storefront, or a warehouse, or anything with their logo/reassuring it's real.

Do you know why that is? Should the iChlor 30 be avoided and I should instead insist on an install of the IC40? Or how easy would it be to swap out the iChlor 30 and put in a IC40 once the iChlor 30 dies?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Intellichlor cells are more robust. iChlor is a lower end budget product.

The IntelliChlor cell is longer and the PVC pipe would need to be modified unless you used the IntelliChlor to iChlor Adapter Kit 523101 made to replace an IntelliChlor cell without any plumbing changes
