Zodiac – Replacement electrode cell 17 g/h – R0758900

The Zodiac R0758900 is the official replacement electrode cell for Zodiac salt chlorination systems with a 17 g/h chlorine output. This electrode is the electrolytic heart of your salt chlorinator: it splits dissolved salt (sodium chloride) in the pool water into free chlorine through electrolysis, maintaining safe and hygienic water quality without manual dosing of liquid or tablet chlorine. Over time, electrode cells naturally degrade due to scale build-up and the gradual wear of the titanium plates’ active coating, making periodic replacement necessary to maintain effective disinfection performance.

The R0758900 is a 100% original Zodiac replacement part, ensuring full compatibility and reliable chlorine output. It replaces the former reference W197612, so owners of older Zodiac systems with that legacy part number can use this SKU as a direct drop-in replacement.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

This electrode cell is rated at a chlorine production capacity of 17 grams per hour, making it suited to pools of a medium size where a consistent and sufficient chlorine supply is needed to keep water balanced and free of bacteria and algae. The cell is designed specifically for use with the following Zodiac salt chlorinator models:

• Zodiac Ei 17
• Zodiac Ei2 Expert 17
• Zodiac GenSalt OE 17

It is important to match the electrode cell precisely to your chlorinator model and output rating. Using a cell with a different output rating (such as the 10 g/h R0758800 or the 25 g/h R0759000) is not appropriate for this system and will result in incorrect integration. The number of electrical connections on the cell varies by model, so always verify your existing unit before ordering.

Suitability and buying context

This replacement electrode is intended for pool owners who already own a compatible Zodiac Ei 17, Ei2 Expert 17, or GenSalt OE 17 salt chlorination system and need to restore full chlorination performance. If your system is producing reduced chlorine output, displaying a cell error, or the cell is visibly scaled or worn after several seasons of use, replacing the electrode with this original Zodiac part is the recommended course of action. As a genuine OEM component, the R0758900 guarantees correct fit, correct electrical specification, and the expected service life when properly maintained with regular acid washing to remove limescale deposits.
