Choosing the right 520556 salt chlorinator power center can feel like a catch-22 when two seemingly identical replacements for IC20, IC40, and IC60 systems show up together. Both use model 520556, both are listed as new, and both are designed for the same pool and spa control family. The difference comes down to how the product is named and which wording you search for, so this head-to-head looks at the practical decision points before you order.
Quick verdict
Both products are described as the same 520556 power center for salt chlorinator systems compatible with IC20, IC40, and IC60. The first title emphasizes 'Systems Power Center For Pool Spa Models'; the second uses 'Power Center For Pool and Spa'. The core attributes-new condition, in-ground use, modern style-match.

Where each product stands out
The two products share every functional detail shown in their names and attributes. The only clear difference is in the wording of the product title.
- The first product spells out 'Salt Chlorinator Systems Power Center' and directly names 'Pool Spa Models IC20 IC40 IC60'.
- The second product shortens the title to 'Salt Chlorinator Power Center' and says 'Pool and Spa' instead of 'Pool Spa Models'.
If you are searching for the exact phrase 'Systems Power Center', the first product matches that term. If you want a title that explicitly reads 'Pool and Spa', the second product uses that phrase.
Product notes
#### 520556 Salt Chlorinator Systems Power Center For Pool Spa Models IC20 IC40 IC60
This option is the one to reach for when you want the full 'Systems Power Center' wording in the product name. It carries model 520556, the same model number used for IC20, IC40, and IC60 systems, along with the compatible control family. It is also defined as a new, in-ground power center replacement with a modern style. It supplies power and control communication to the electrolytic cell, and installation instructions are included. The limitation is scope: this replacement is aimed at IC20, IC40, and IC60 systems, so if your cell does not belong to that group, this title does not claim compatibility.
#### 520556 Salt Chlorinator Power Center For Pool and Spa IC20 IC40 IC60
This product takes a more direct approach with the shorter name 'Salt Chlorinator Power Center' and adds 'Pool and Spa' to the title. That phrasing can be useful if you are servicing a spa as well as a pool, because the compatibility target is spelled out as IC20, IC40, and IC60. It shares the same 520556 model and MPN, and it also appears as a new, in-ground, modern style replacement. The trade-off is wording: you lose the word 'Systems' from the title, so if that exact term is part of your order notes or search habit, this version will not match it the way the first product does.
Final choice by use case
For an in-ground pool with an IC20, IC40, or IC60 salt chlorinator and a preference for the exact 'Systems Power Center' name, the first product is the clearer match. For a pool or spa where you prefer the simpler 'Power Center For Pool and Spa' label, the second product works just as well from the listed specs. Both products are listed at the same price, so price will not separate them.
