Description
Pentair 521214 IntelliTouch Power Center Enclosure Kit with IntelliChlor Transformer
The Pentair IntelliTouch Power Center Enclosure Kit with IntelliChlor Transformer (521214) is a compact, all-in-one solution designed for pool and spa automation systems that integrate salt chlorination with comprehensive equipment control. This kit is intended for users who already have an existing circuit breaker or sub-panel for their pool and spa equipment—making it unnecessary to house a separate load center in the installation.
Features
-
Integrated IntelliChlor Transformer: The built-in transformer is specifically designed to power IntelliChlor salt cell systems (IC20, IC40, IC60 models), streamlining the integration by eliminating the need for a separate transformer unit. This is a significant advantage for maintaining a cleaner setup and simplifying wiring layouts.
-
Compact, Weatherproof Enclosure: Engineered for outdoor applications, the enclosure is designed to resist moisture, UV exposure, and other environmental challenges. With dimensions around 20″ in height, 17″ in width, and 5.25″ in depth, the design offers a sleek footprint while providing adequate space for wiring and multiple knockouts for various conduit sizes.
-
Optimized for Automation Integration: This Power Center consolidates the control circuitry for your IntelliTouch system, typically accommodating up to five 3-horsepower relays. This arrangement is perfect for managing the main pool components (like the filter pump) along with additional auxiliary devices (heaters, lights, or water features) via your automation system.
-
No Circuit Breaker Base: It’s important to note that this kit does not include a dedicated circuit breaker base. It’s intended for installations where an existing sub-panel or dedicated circuit breaker assembly is already in place.
Applications & Benefits
This Power Center is ideal for pool and spa owners who want to integrate salt chlorination with full automation control in a streamlined fashion. The integrated design allows for:
-
Simplified Installation & Maintenance: Since all necessary control components and the salt cell transformer are housed in a single enclosure, installation is more straightforward and helps reduce overall system clutter.
-
Energy Efficiency & Reliability: By automating the pool and spa functions (including optimized scheduling for pump operation and heater control), the system not only enhances energy efficiency but also provides preventive measures—such as freeze protection—to extend the lifespan of your pool equipment.
