SERVICING AND CLEANING THE CELL
-
Turn off the power on the salt chlorinator before removing the cell.
-
Once it is removed, look for debris inside the cell located on the plates
-
Clean the plates thoroughly by using a high-pressure hose or any plastic scraper to scrape all
deposits. If the cell is clean, reinstall. DO NOT USE A METAL SCRAPER AS THIS WILL
SCRATCH THE FINISH AND DAMAGE THE PLATES. If you have high calcium level water, the
cell could show debris buildup. Note: You will need to clean the cell more frequently. The best way
to avoid this situation is to adjust the pool chemistry to the recommended levels.
MILD ACID WASHING
If the flushing and scraping could not remove the majority of the deposit, use the acid to wash.
Turn off power to salt chlorinator.
-
Remove the cell.
-
Carefully mix a proportion of 4:1 of water to muriatic acid (1 gallon water to 1 quart of muriatic
acid).
ALWAYS POUR ACID INTO WATER - NEVER POUR WATER INTO ACID.
BE SURE TO WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES, CLOTHING AND CHEMICAL RESISTANT
GLOVES
-
The wire harness case SHOULD NOT BE IMMERSED in the solution. Submerge only to the top of
the cell.
-
Soak the cell for five minutes then rinse thoroughly using a high-pressure hose.
-
Repeat the process when any deposits are still left.
-
In case acid washing still did not work, replace the cell and check from time to time.
OPENING THE POOL
Begin by balancing the pool water chemistry to the recommended levels before turning ON the salt
chlorinator.
CLOSING THE POOL
Freezing water can damage the salt chlorinator electrolytic cell and the flow detection switch, similar to other
pool components that require proper winterization. In locations of rigorous periods of freezing temperatures,
all water must be drained from the pump, from the filter, and return lines before freezing temperatures. The
electronic control box is suitable to any freezing weather and does not have to be removed.
