Residential Clear Salt Cell Housings (Up to 40g/h)
Century specializes in manufacturing high-precision residential salt cell housings for OEM pool equipment brands and aftermarket distributors. Designed specifically for backyard swimming pool systems, our injection-molded vessels provide the critical, leak-proof enclosure required for safe and efficient saline electrolysis. By focusing on high-grade resins and exact tooling tolerances, we supply a residential chlorinator vessel that withstands the harsh realities of outdoor pool pads—from freezing winterization conditions to peak summer UV exposure.
Whether your assembly line requires a durable transparent PC chlorinator body for a new product launch or your distribution network needs a reliable 40g salt cell housing replacement to service existing field units, our factory delivers consistent, pallet-volume solutions without the typical overseas quality control headaches.
Material Engineering: Polycarbonate vs. Acrylic
The structural integrity of a chlorinator manifold dictates the lifespan of the entire salt system. A cracked casing leads to flooded equipment pads and voided warranties. To prevent this, we offer two distinct material paths for our residential housings, both utilizing 100% virgin, non-regrind resins.
- Polycarbonate (PC) Housings: PC is the industry standard for high-impact resistance. Our PC vessels are engineered to absorb physical shocks and resist the constant hydraulic vibration generated by modern variable-speed pool pumps. If durability against accidental impacts (like dropped tools or freezing water expansion) is your priority, PC is the optimal choice.
- Acrylic (PMMA) Housings: For brands prioritizing long-term visual clarity, we manufacture the clear acrylic pool manifold. Acrylic offers superior UV stability compared to standard plastics. It maintains a glass-like transparency over years of direct sunlight exposure, ensuring that homeowners and pool technicians can always perform a quick visual inspection for calcium scale buildup on the internal plates.
Plumbing Compatibility and US Standards
A major pain point for pool technicians is wrestling with out-of-spec aftermarket parts that require excessive PVC glue or custom adapters. We engineer our housings to eliminate installation friction.
Every unit is precision-molded to function simultaneously as a 1.5 inch pool cell housing and a 2 inch PVC salt cell vessel. The integrated slip connections are dimensionally verified to match standard US Schedule 40 PVC pipe tolerances. This dual-compatibility allows your field service teams or end-users to install the unit directly into standard residential plumbing lines using standard solvent welding (gluing) techniques, ensuring a perfect, zero-leak seal every time.

OEM Customization for Residential Markets
While a totally clear vessel is standard, differentiation on the equipment pad matters. Century offers bespoke customization for bulk orders. We can inject custom translucent tints (such as a deep blue or smoked gray) into the resin, creating a premium visual identity for your proprietary residential chlorinator vessel while maintaining enough transparency to inspect the internal cell. Furthermore, we offer private label mold inserts to emboss your company logo directly onto the plastic body.
Why Sourcing Direct from Century Makes Sense
Sourcing an empty plastic shell might seem straightforward, but micro-fissures at the mold’s weld lines or inconsistent wall thickness can lead to catastrophic failure under pressure.
- Burst Pressure Tested: While standard residential pools operate between 15-30 PSI, our housings undergo rigorous hydrostatic testing well beyond normal operating parameters to ensure they handle unexpected “water hammer” events.
- In-House Tooling: Because we cut our own steel molds, the parting lines on our residential salt cell housing are incredibly clean, leaving no sharp flashing or weak points.
- Direct Factory Margins: By bypassing trading companies, you secure B2B pricing that allows healthy margins for your aftermarket distribution or OEM assembly business.
