• The level of the solution in the container should just

reach the top of the cell so that the wire harness

compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil

the wiring before immersing the cell.

• The cell should soak for FIVE minutes, then rinse with

a high-pressure garden hose.

• If any deposits are still visible, repeat soaking and

rinsing.

• Replace cell and inspect again periodically.

WINTERIZING

The Excelpool System electrolytic cell and flow detection 

switch will be damaged by freezing water, similar to other 

pool components that require proper winterization. In areas of 

the country that experience severe or extended periods of 

freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from the 

pump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing 

conditions occur. The electronic control is capable of 

withstanding any winter weather and should not be removed.

Spring Start-Up

DO NOT turn Excelpool System on, until the pool water 

chemistry has been balanced to proper levels.
