Long Hayward / Pentair IntelliChlor dummy cell – PVC dummy

The long dummy cell for Hayward and Pentair IntelliChlor / IntelliChlor Plus salt systems is a practical solution for temporarily replacing the salt cell when it is not needed.

Made from PVC Schedule 40, this dummy cell is assembled by Piscine Hippocampe technicians to provide a simple, durable, and economical solution for winterization, maintenance, or certain plumbing system repairs.

This long version is designed for installations compatible with certain Hayward salt cells, as well as Pentair IntelliChlor and IntelliChlor Plus systems.

Ideal when the water gets cold

When the water temperature drops and chlorine production by the salt system is no longer necessary, the dummy cell allows you to temporarily remove the salt cell from the plumbing circuit.

This setup helps avoid leaving the cell installed unnecessarily during periods when it is not being used.

It is particularly useful for:

• End of season
• Cold water
• Winterization
• Repairs
• Salt system maintenance

A practical solution for winterization

The dummy cell can temporarily replace the salt cell while maintaining plumbing continuity.

It is particularly practical for owners of above-ground pools who want to prepare their plumbing line for winter.

It can also be used when a salt cell must be removed for repair, cleaning, or replacement.

Made from PVC Schedule 40

The body is made from PVC Schedule 40, a material commonly used in swimming pool plumbing systems.

This construction provides a strong and durable solution for temporarily replacing the cell while allowing water to circulate through the plumbing when required by the installation.
