Zodiac – Salt generator cartridge – C0299400

The Zodiac C0299400 is a replacement salt generator cartridge designed for use with Zodiac’s range of salt chlorination systems. Salt chlorinators work by passing a low-voltage electrical current through saltwater flowing across an electrolytic cell, converting dissolved salt (sodium chloride) into free chlorine that sanitises pool water safely and continuously. The cartridge — also referred to as the electrolytic cell or electrode assembly — is the core consumable component within this process. Over time, the electrolytic plates inside the cell degrade through normal use, and the cartridge must be replaced to restore the chlorinator’s sanitising performance. The C0299400 is a genuine Zodiac spare part, ensuring full compatibility and reliable operation with supported Zodiac salt chlorination units.

Technical characteristics and construction

As a genuine OEM replacement cartridge from Zodiac, the C0299400 is manufactured to the same specifications as the original factory-fitted component. The electrolytic cell contains coated titanium electrode plates, a construction standard in salt chlorination technology that provides durability, chemical resistance, and efficient chlorine production. The cartridge interfaces directly with the chlorinator’s control unit and flow housing, meaning no additional adapters or modifications are typically required when replacing a like-for-like unit within the compatible Zodiac system range. Replacement cartridges of this type are typically rated for a defined operational lifespan measured in hours of use, after which chlorine output declines and replacement becomes necessary to maintain water hygiene standards. Always verify compatibility with your specific Zodiac chlorinator model before ordering.

Suitability and application

This replacement cartridge is intended for pool owners and service professionals maintaining Zodiac salt chlorination systems. It is suited to residential swimming pools where Zodiac salt chlorinators are already installed and the electrolytic cell has reached the end of its service life. Using a genuine Zodiac cartridge rather than a generic alternative ensures the replacement part meets the original performance and safety tolerances of the system. This product is a maintenance spare part and is not a standalone chlorinator — it requires installation into a compatible Zodiac salt chlorinator housing. If you are unsure whether this cartridge is compatible with your specific Zodiac unit, consult the model documentation or contact a qualified pool professional.
