Acid Washing Kit For Easytouch Control Systems
Product Overview
The standard specification tool for safely soaking and decalcifying Pentair IntelliChlor salt cells without risking electrical terminal damage.
For homeowners running an IntelliChlor salt chlorinator with EasyTouch automation, the Pentair 520670 acid washing kit provides the dedicated cap, stand, and O-ring needed to perform routine cell cleanings. It screws directly onto the cell housing so you can stand it upright and soak the titanium plates in a 4:1 water-to-muriatic acid mixture without submerging delicate electronics or wiring.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
Direct OEM Fit (Mfg. Part #: 520670)
Threaded collar and gasket match Pentair IntelliChlor IC15, IC20, IC40, and IC60 electrolytic cell unions perfectly for leak-free cleaning.
Electronics Protection
Isolates the chemical bath strictly to the interior titanium blades while keeping cord connections and exterior housing dry and safe.
Stable Upright Base
Holds the cell securely vertical during the 15-minute acid soak, preventing accidental tipping, spills, and wasted chemical solution.
Compatibility
- Compatible with Pentair IntelliChlor IC15, IC20, IC40, and IC60 cells
- Compatible with EasyTouch, IntelliTouch, and SunTouch automation control centers
- Requires user-supplied muriatic acid and clean water for cleaning mixture
When To Use This
Pro Tip
In hard water areas where calcium hardness stays above 300 ppm, try gently flushing loose scale with a garden hose nozzle first before using an acid bath; reserving acid washes strictly for hardened scale significantly extends the life of your cell's ruthenium coating.
Common Questions & Instructions
How do you use the Pentair 520670 acid washing kit to clean a salt cell?
Turn off power, remove the IntelliChlor cell from pool plumbing, and thread this cleaning stand onto the union side of the cell. Mix a 4:1 ratio of water to 31.45% muriatic acid (always adding acid to water), pour the mixture into the top of the cell until the plates are covered, and let it foam for 10 to 15 minutes until scale dissolves before rinsing with fresh water.
Which Pentair salt chlorinator models are compatible with this cleaning kit?
The 520670 kit fits all Pentair IntelliChlor cells including IC15, IC20, IC40, and IC60 models, whether operated via an EasyTouch system, IntelliTouch panel, or standalone power center.
How often should an IntelliChlor salt cell be acid washed?
Inspect the cell blades every 3 months. Only acid wash when visible white calcium bridging or scale build-up appears on the titanium plates, as excessive acid cleaning shortens the lifespan of the rare metal cell coating.
