MAINTENANCE OF POWER SUPPLY
Little or no maintenance is normally required with the exception of replacing blown Fuses. These Fuses
can be sourced from your local EcoMineral Dealer. However it is essential that the wall or post to which the
Unit is installed be sprayed (not the Unit itself) periodically with a good surface type insect repellent, since
penetration by insects may cause damage, which is not covered by your warranty.
Note: The back of the Unit has been designed as a heat sink. It is normal for this area to become very hot.
MAINTENANCE OF THE IN-LINE ELECTROLYTIC CELL
The In-Line Cell is composed of precious materials, and although proper maintenance can prolong its life
to the maximum, eventually the process of electrolysis will wear away its delicate coating, at which time it
gradually ceases to produce chlorine.
Mineral salts and calcium (scale) are deposited on the plates as electrolysis takes place. This build up will
interfere with the flow of electrical current in the Cell and thus lowers sanitiser production. It is essential to
inspect the Cell regularly and clean when necessary. The rate at which deposits will form on the plate differs
with each pool and can be influenced by the following:
• Calcium hardness of the water
• Water temperature
• pH level
• Water which has been chlorinated with calcium hypochlorite for an extended period
• Calcium in the plaster surfaces of a concrete pool
Because these conditions vary so much, check the Cell at least weekly to begin with to see when either
scale or a blue/green soapy substance appears on the plates. You will then be able to determine the cleaning
cycle necessary for your pool (more frequent cleaning may be required in summer). The intervals between
cleaning could get longer to the point where cleaning is only necessary a couple of times each year. One
exception is the use of bore water or ground water, in which case cleaning may always need to be as
frequent as once a week.
NOTE: In areas with hard water, reverse polarity systems may require
occasional manual cleaning.
The life of the EcoMineral Electrolytic Cells vary substantially from one installation to another due to
variations in operating time, water quality and composition, system and Cell maintenance.
Please ensure that when Cell replacement is necessary you use the correct genuine EcoMineral
Replacement Cell to match your system. The correct EcoMineral Replacement Cells to use are shown in the
table below:
Model
Replacement Cell Code
EMX2400
EMILC2400
EMX3600
EMILC3600
ALWAYS INSIST ON GENUINE DAVEY REPLACEMENT PARTS.
If it is necessary to replace the In- Line Electrolytic Cell, beware
of “look-a-likes”. Only the Genuine EcoMineral Cell is designed
and warranted to operate with the EcoMineral Power Supply.
SERIOUS DAMAGE MAY RESULT TO THE ELECTRONICS
INSIDE THE UNIT IF COPY CELLS ARE USED AND MAY VOID
WARRANTY.
