The use of imitations (or copies) of the ECO-ma tic ‘Cell’ may harm the inte rnal components of your
ECO-matic power supply and will void warranties.
Cleaning the ‘Cell’
Mineral salts, calcium, etc. (scale) will accu mulate onto the ‘Cell’ and will effect the efficiency of the
‘Cell’ in its production of sanitizer. If allowed to build up unc hecked, this scale can dam age the ‘Cell’.
It is therefore essential that
the ‘Cell’ be cleaned whenev er necessary, as indicated by visual
inspection, a drop in Output and/or RED LED(s).
The rate at which the scale accumulates on the ‘Cell’ varies from pool to pool and is influenced mostly
by the Calcium Hardness, Total Alkalinity and the ratio of these two important components of water
balance.
The manufacturer recommends that the water be balanced to LSI (Langlier Saturation Index)
daily. Ensure that chlorine levels are between 1-3 ppm of free available chlorine for swimming
pools and 3-5 ppm of free available chlorine for spas. This will result in less frequent
cleanings and longer cell life. Rapid scaling on the ‘Cell’ indicates out of balance water.
Removing the ‘Cell’ For Cleaning
There should be no need to disconnec t the ‘Cell’ from it s leads for normal ‘Cell’ cleaning. However, it
may be necessary at some time to disc onnect the cell (‘Cell’ replacem ent, warranty or servic e
reasons).
The ‘Cell’ leads connect to the ‘Cell’ Head with push-in bayonet type connectors. Simply twist and pull
each connector to disconnect. The Gas Sensor lead
is a push-on connectio n, simply pull to
disconnect. Do not attempt to re move by pulling on the wires. Be sure to color-match th e connectors
when reconnecting.
How to Clean the ‘Cell’
• Turn OFF filter pump before
attempting to clean the ‘Cell’.
• Remove the ‘Cell’ from the ‘Cell
Housing’ by unscrewing the ‘Cell’
Head (Note: left-hand thread. Turn in
direction of ‘OPEN’ arrow on ‘Cell’
Housing). No need to disconnect
‘Cell’ leads.
• First, try to rinse off the cell with a
hose if the scale is minimal. Do not
use a pressure wash.
• Immerse the ‘Cell’ in to the weak acid solution (see below) for as short a time as necessary for the
scale to be dissolved off the ‘Cell’
• If necessary, remove the ‘Cell’ from the weak ac id solution, br ush with a soft brush (never us e a
metal brush) to help remove stubborn scale, then re -immerse into the weak acid solution. Repeat
until ‘Cell’ is completely clean of scale.
• Remember to also clean scale off head of
Gas Sensor
bolt (on inside of ‘Cell’ head).
