    To get the same chlorine level, you should run the 40 1/2 as much as the 20 because it generates twice the chlorine. So if you were running 60% and you have the correct chlorine level, then 30% should be sufficient.

    The power box should support both cells but check the manual first.

    Pentair only has one power center for their IC series. It works OK with the 2 smaller units, but tends to overheat with the IC-60. I have a box fan resting in front of a bank of for power centers driving 4 IC-60 units . . . and the things still get hot.
