Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Trol cell
Turn off power to the Aqua Trol before removing the electrolytic cell. Once removed,
look inside the cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky
deposits) on the plates and for any debris which has passed through the filter and
caught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen, use a
high pressure garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use
a plastic or wood tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates)
and scrape deposits off of the plates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that
there is an unusually high calcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the
cause). If this is not corrected, you can expect to have to periodically clean the cell.
The simplest way to avoid this is to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended
levels as specified.
Mild Acid Washing:
Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not
remove the majority of deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Aqua Trol. Remove
cell from piping. In a clean plastic container, mix a 4:1 solution of water to muriatic acid
(one gallon of water to one quart of muriatic acid). ALWAYS POUR ACID INTO
WATER - NEVER POUR WATER INTO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and
appropriate eye protection. 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 a
few minutes and 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 Aqua Trol electrolytic cell
will be damaged by freezing water just as your pool
plumbing would. In areas of the country which 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 ca-
pable of withstanding any winter weather and should not be removed.
Spring Start-up
DO NOT turn the Aqua Trol on, until the pool water chemistry has been brought to
the proper levels. This information can be found on page 2.
