WARNING
Always turn pump off prior to installing or removing any components from the pool’s plumbing. Your pump/filter
system is operated under pressure and pressure must be released before you begin to avoid system damage or
personal injury. Open the air relief valve on your pool filter to release the pressure in the system.

Acid Wash Cleaning.
If the electrolytic cell has a tendency to scale, it is recommended that every
two (2) months the cell be removed and inspected for scale formation and/or debris. Some filters allow
debris to pass through to the cell which could lodge between the plates in the cell. A small amount of
scale formation is normal. If by looking through the cell it is observed that there is excessive scale
formation between the plates or debris is present, the cell must be cleaned as follows:
a
.
Use a high pressure jet of water from a garden hose. If the cell cannot be reasonably cleaned in
this manner, acid cleaning is necessary.
b. Remove the cell from the plumbing. If necessary, replace the cell with the spool piece (sold
separately). Remove the sensor from the port.
c. To acid clean the cell, plug the two (2) adjacent ports. Mix one (1) pint of muriatic acid with
two (2) quarts of tap water in a plastic bucket.
Use the appropriate port plugs on the ports. Do
not use the sensor as damage can result.
WARNING
Inhalation of muriatic acid vapor or contact with skin or eyes can cause serious injury or death. Wear goggles and
rubber gloves, and perform cleaning in a well-ventilated area. Add acid to the water, do not add water to the acid
as splashing could result.
d. Pour the acid/water mixture inside the cell. A foaming action will begin, which is caused by scale
(calcium carbonate) being dissolved from the plates. If rigorous foaming action does not begin,
the cell does not need to be cleaned (
STOP THE CLEANING PROCESS - go on to next step
“e”
). Otherwise, allow the cell to remain in the solution until the foaming has stopped.
However,
do not leave in acid for more than 1/2 hour. IMPORTANT NOTE: Excessive acid washing will
damage electrolytic cell.
e. Rinse the cell thoroughly with clean tap water and inspect. If deposits are still visible, repeat the
cleaning procedure. Additional acid may need to be added to the solution.
f. Rinse the cell again with clean tap water and inspect. If clean, replace the cell and resume normal
operation.
g. If the acid wash procedure is necessary, it is recommended that a sample of pool water be
analyzed by an authorized Zodiac service representative for excessive hardness and/or improper
water balance.
h. If no scale or debris deposits are observed in the cell after two (2) bimonthly inspections, it is not
necessary to continue bimonthly inspections. However, due to possible changes in pool water
chemistry and filtering effectiveness, it is recommended that the cell be removed for inspection at
least twice a year.
