The Zodiac R0758800 is the official replacement electrode cell for the Zodiac Ei, Ei\u00b2 Expert, GenSalt OE, and GenSalt OT salt water chlorinators operating at a chlorine output of 10 g\/h. This electrode is the heart of the salt chlorination system: it uses electrolysis to convert dissolved salt in the pool water into free chlorine, continuously and automatically disinfecting the water without the need to manually dose liquid or tablet chlorine. When the electrode reaches the end of its service life, replacing it with this original Zodiac cell restores the chlorinator to full working condition.<\/p>\n
This cell is a direct, like-for-like replacement for the original electrode supplied with compatible Zodiac units. It carries the reference R0758800 and was previously sold under the reference W197601. Using a genuine Zodiac electrode ensures correct electrochemical performance, full compatibility with the control unit’s automatic self-cleaning cycle, and adherence to the manufacturer’s warranty and safety requirements.<\/p>\n
The R0758800 electrode cell is rated at a chlorine production capacity of 10 g\/h, making it the entry-level output option in the Zodiac Ei electrode range. This output level is suited to smaller residential pools where a moderate and steady chlorine dose is sufficient to maintain safe water quality. The electrode is designed for use exclusively in the following Zodiac salt chlorinator models: Zodiac Ei 10, Zodiac Ei\u00b2 Expert 10, Zodiac GenSalt OE 10, and Zodiac GenSalt OT. It is not interchangeable with the 17 g\/h cell (R0758900) or other models in the range, so it is important to verify your chlorinator model before ordering.<\/p>\n
Salt chlorinator electrodes are consumable components. Over time, the titanium plates coated with precious metal oxides gradually deplete through the electrolysis process and through the automatic reverse-polarity self-cleaning cycles that dissolve calcium deposits. Typical electrode lifespan varies depending on pool size, water balance, salt concentration, and hours of operation. Replacing the electrode with an original Zodiac part ensures the system continues to operate within its designed parameters.<\/p>\n
This replacement electrode is intended for residential pool owners who already own a compatible Zodiac Ei 10, Ei\u00b2 Expert 10, GenSalt OE 10, or GenSalt OT salt chlorinator and whose existing electrode has reached the end of its service life or has been damaged. It is the correct choice when the chlorinator control unit is functioning normally but the cell is no longer producing sufficient chlorine despite correct salt levels and water balance. If you own a 17 g\/h or higher-output Zodiac Ei model, you will need the corresponding higher-output electrode reference instead. Always confirm your unit’s model reference before purchasing to ensure full compatibility.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
