This is the genuine Fluidra replacement inlet sleeve for the Elite Connect CellGuard pH 12 salt chlorinator cell. It forms the water-entry fitting on the electrolysis cell, channelling pool return water into the cell body so that chlorine can be generated through electrolysis. Replacing a damaged or degraded inlet sleeve restores a proper, leak-free seal and ensures correct water flow direction through the cell.<\/p>\n
This inlet sleeve is a factory spare part for the Fluidra Elite Connect CellGuard pH 12 salt chlorinator (Fluidra product reference 77166). The Elite Connect CellGuard range uses a transparent polymer cell body with PVC pipe connections sized for \u00d850\/63 mm pipework. Always confirm your chlorinator model and cell reference before ordering to ensure an exact fit.<\/p>\n
Fluidra genuine spare parts are manufactured to the same tolerances as the original components, ensuring a precise fit with the cell housing and maintaining the watertight integrity of the electrolysis circuit. An ill-fitting or non-genuine inlet sleeve can cause water leakage, reduced flow through the cell, or false flow-switch alarms that shut down chlorine production entirely.<\/p>\n
Replacement of the inlet sleeve involves working on the plumbing circuit of the salt chlorinator cell and should be carried out by a qualified pool technician. Ensure the circulation pump is switched off and the system is depressurised before disassembling the cell. Take care to orient the inlet fitting correctly \u2014 the cell inlet and outlet positions are marked and must not be reversed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
