What it costs over its rated life
The price half of this answer is not published. What is published is the denominator, which is the half that decides whether a cost comparison means anything at all.
NO BAND PUBLISHED, deliberately, and the reason is the finding. Checked 26 July 2026: nine of nine specialist stockists were out of stock, the part is being superseded by a successor cell, and the only units actually purchasable were single marketplace listings priced ABOVE the specialists' list price. A street band would describe a market that is not currently trading. The situation is published on the page instead.
When you are ready to buy
No price is printed here, and these do not go to a listing chosen for you. They go to the manufacturer's own dealer locator, which is the one place where what you are buying is not in question.
You have the part number, you know which warranty row applies, and you know what the channel does to it. This is the step after that.

Questions people ask about the IC40
How long does the IC40 last?
Pentair rates it at 10,000 hours, which is the figure to divide any price by when you are comparing cells. Hours are not years: how long that takes depends on how many hours a day your pump runs, which is why no year figure is published here.
What is the warranty on the IC40?
There is more than one, which is the point. Pentair publishes 4 variants for this cell, and which one applies to you is decided by the part number on your box and by where it was bought, not by the cell itself. 1 of them has cleared a second reading and is stated on this page; the rest are not, and this page does not guess at them.
What size pool is the IC40 for?
Pentair rates it for pools up to 40,000 gallons. Fitting a cell rated for a smaller pool than yours means it runs longer to keep up, and fitting a larger one does not harm anything but costs more than the job needs.
How do I know a IC40 is the right cell for my system before I order it?
Read the part number off the moulded band on the cell you are removing rather than off the listing you are reading, then check it against the fitment on this page. Listings in this category routinely group part numbers that carry different terms, and the number on your own hardware is the only one that governs.
