This is a complete, working system — unlike the bare Common Load Center part numbers (522041 and 522043), which have no personality card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the salt cell included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The IntelliChlor transformer and a cell blank kit are included, which is what \"salt ready\" means. The cell is a separate purchase. If you are replacing 523966, 523967 or 523968, note that those did include a Plus40 cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between 524000 and 524001?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly the valve actuators. 524000 ships with two Compool actuators, 524001 with two IntelliValve actuators. Everything else is the same. Check which your installation calls for before ordering — this is the most common ordering error on this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this control my pool and spa separately?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt controls a shared-equipment pool and spa — one pump, filter and heater with actuators switching between the two bodies. If your pool and spa have completely separate equipment, you need the Dual Equipment version, 524002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many circuits can it run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive relays are installed and the system expands to ten. It replaces the former i5PS, i8PS and i10PS systems, so it covers that range depending on how you expand it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mount it outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The enclosure is Type 3R rainproof (IPX3), rated for indoor or outdoor use. Rainproof is not the same as watertight — it is not rated for submersion or direct washdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I install it myself?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is line-voltage equipment carrying up to a 150 A service, and Pentair requires installation by a licensed or certified electrician or qualified service professional under NEC or CEC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ps4u-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the part number for this system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePentair lists this system under part number 524000. Quote 524000 when you cross-reference against your equipment manual, an existing part, or a parts diagram, so you are comparing the same revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I confirm this fits my equipment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch the part number on the component you are replacing, or look it up in the parts list for your Pentair automation system. If your model or serial number is not named on this page, send it to us before you order and we will confirm the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes automation work need an electrician?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Pool equipment sits under specific electrical code requirements covering bonding, grounding and GFCI protection, and this unit carries line voltage at up to 150 amps. Cut power at the service before opening any enclosure, and have a licensed professional handle the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a warranty on this product?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePentair classifies IntelliCenter equipment under its TradeGrade program. Units purchased online receive a 60-day limited warranty rather than the multi-year coverage available through a brick-and-mortar retailer, pool builder or pool service company. Review Pentair's current warranty terms at pentair.com before purchasing, and keep the receipt and packaging until you have confirmed correct operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
