Intermatic scg40k Salt Chlorinator System 40000 Gal

Product Description

The INTERMATIC scg40k is a salt chlorine generator designed for residential pool and spa applications up to 40,000 gallons. It converts sodium chloride (salt) into sodium hypochlorite through electrolysis, producing a continuous supply of free chlorine to sanitize pool water without the need to handle traditional liquid or granular chlorine products. Licensed pool service technicians and experienced DIY pool owners install this type of system as a long-term alternative to conventional chemical dosing programs.

The scg40k is suited for in-ground and above-ground pool installations where the total water volume does not exceed 40,000 gallons. It integrates into the existing return line downstream of the filter and heater, allowing treated water to circulate back into the pool continuously. The system supports combined pool and spa setups where a shared circulation loop is present.

Key Features

• Electrolytic chlorine generation eliminates the need to manually dose liquid or granular chlorine
• Rated for pools and spas up to 40,000 gallons
• Converts salt (sodium chloride) to sodium hypochlorite on demand through electrolysis
• Supports combined pool and spa circulation systems
• Reduces handling and storage of traditional chlorine chemicals on site

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style salt chlorination solution for residential pool and spa systems with a total water volume up to 40,000 gallons.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pool or plumbing professional in accordance with local codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) for low-voltage bonding requirements. Shut off the pool pump and isolate power to the circulation system before mounting the cell and control unit. The chlorinator cell is installed in-line on the return plumbing, downstream of the filter and any heater, to protect the cell from debris and heat damage. Do not operate the system without adequate water flow, as dry operation will damage the electrolytic cell.
