Both the oxygen and copper plates may, from time to time become caked with dirt. This will impede
proper performance of the e-clear system. It is therefore necessary to clean the plates or to have
them cleaned by a certified e-clear technician.
Method for cleaning plates:
•
Switch off the pool pump and e-clear unit
•
Undo nuts at plates to remove electrode cables
•
Unscrew unions at each end of the copper chamber and at each end of the oxygen chamber.
•
Dilute one part pool acid (hydrochloric acid) to five parts water, in a bucket. About a 20cm deep
solution.
•
Immerse each chamber in the acid solution for about 5 minutes or until build-up has dissolved.
•
Immediately rinse in clean water to remove acid residue.
•
Replace both chambers inline so that water in circulation will flow through the oxygen chamber first
then the copper chamber.
•
Replace electrode cables (white to oxygen plated)
6.3 Electrode replacement
Replacement of copper plates and silver electrodes is, preferably to be done by an e-clear certified
Technician.
Method to replace copper plates:
•
Switch off pool pump and e-clear system
• Undo nuts at plates to remove electrode cables
• Unscrew unions at each end of copper chamber
•
Remove copper/silver chamber
•
Undo holding nuts (these may be re-used if o-rings intact)
• Slide out old copper plates, slide in new copper plates so that the plate lug sits over the hole in the
PVC. Screw in bolts tightly. Same process with silver
• Replace chamber and tighten unions
•
If leaks occur at bolt o-rings, tighten slightly
• Replace electrode cables.
It is not necessary to change oxygen plates as they are not sacrificial.
6.4 UV lamp replacement
It is preferable for this to be carried out by a qualified electrician or e-clear Technician. Switch off
pool pump and unit
Carefully remove endcaps form UV chamber (be careful to not pull on wires.) Undo electrical wires
from 'chocolate blocks' using a screwdriver Carefully unscrew grey threaded bush, making sure to
retain o-rings. Slide out UV lamp from chamber.
Reconnect old chocolate block to new UV lamp and carefully slide new lamp into UV chamber.
Screw back grey threaded bushes making sure o-rings are re-seated. Re-attach electrical connections
as before
Switch on pool pump only NOT E-CLEAR UNIT, and check for leaks.
Return endcaps
Dispose of UV lamp in accord with government regulations.
