Pentair cells, and the condition most owners never read
Pentair is the only maker in this database that publishes a rated life, 10,000 hours, and the only one whose warranty term is decided by where you bought the cell rather than by which cell you bought.

SaltCellCheck is independent. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, sponsored by or endorsed by any manufacturer named on this page, and all product names and trademarks belong to their owners.
Two things separate Pentair from the rest of this database. It states how many hours its cell is built for, which is the number every cost question divides by and which the other makers in this database do not publish. And its warranty term turns on the sales channel, so the same part bought two ways is covered two ways.
The sentence that decides your term
Products purchased from the internet, including Authorized Pentair Online Resellers, receive a one-year parts only warranty from the date of purchase.

Where to go from here
The rated life is only half a cost answer. The other half is a price, and no price capture has been taken for a Pentair cell yet, so none is published here.
