It replaces the electrolytic cell temporarily when you need to winterize, service, or start up your system without running the salt chlorine generator. Built for compatibility with Pentair control systems and installed inline, it preserves flow and seals while removing electrical connection to the active cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this bypass cell help during winterization or service?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring cold months or when performing maintenance, you don’t want the active salt cell connected but you still need an intact plumbing path.
