Method 1:
Put one measure of hydrochloric acid to five measures of water into a container, and leave the cell immersed in
this solution for 1 to 4 minutes depending on how dirty it is. Do not clean the cell too often or leave it immersed
for prolonged periods, as this could damage it.
Method 2 (recommended):
Use a special cell-cleaning product (LIMPIA-CELL).
To clean the MCS50C cell: First turn off the power to the controller and the pump, disconnect the cell from
the Power Supply Unit and remove from the pool return line by undoing the unions. Take care not to lose the
O-rings. Once removed, place the cell upside down (inverted) in a small tub or a suitably sized bucket. Ensure
the cell is stable and won’t tip over. As opposed to the ESC16-36 gram cells, which are placed into a solution of
cleanser, the cleansing fluid is poured into the ESC50 cell.
MPS Models
The MPS units use a patented system of automatic electronic cell cleaning. Therefore, under the right working
conditions (right water balance, pH below 7.4), the cell hardly gets dirty at all. That said, small deposits of scale can
form, particularly where water hardness is very high (TH above 300ppm). If that is the case, clean the cell as indicated
above.
6.2 Salinity
The salinity of the water has to be checked, particularly at the start of the season, to make sure the water contains the
minimum amount of salt. If salinity is too low, this will prevent the unit from working effectively (and reduce the amount
of chlorine being produced), and sooner or later will damage the cell.
6.3 Water Balance
pH has to be monitored and maintained at around 7.2. If it is too high, scale will form on the cell more quickly.
IMPORTANT :
In the event of damage to the 230V or 220-240V power cables, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, his after-sales
service or a service agent having similar expertise.
7. MALFUNCTIONS
No chlorine is being produced in the pool:
Check to make sure that-
•
The unit is connected;
•
The fuse is not damaged or blown;
•
The ON/OFF switch is in position I;
•
The chlorine control is not set too low;
•
The cell is clean;
•
The pump motor is working;
•
The safety wire is connected and not damaged;
•
Indicators LED 1 and LED 2 are both showing green. If either or both are red, see Section 5 “OPERATION”.
•
During summer, the “SPRING MODE” selector should be in the OFF position.
There is insufficient chlorine:
Check to make sure that-
•
The cell is clean;
•
The filter is clean;
•
You have the right amount of stabiliser;
•
The pH value is correct (around 7.2);
•
The salt content is correct: minimum 4g/L; Ideal Level 4.5g/L
•
The chlorine control setting is right: turn the knob clockwise to increase production.
•
During the season, the “SPRING MODE” button should be in the OFF position.
•
A status indicator light (LED 1 or LED 2) is showing red: see Section 5 “OPERATION”.
Check the salinity of the water and check to see if the cell is clean (a white deposit indicates scale
and you will need to clean the cell – see Section 6.
