CELL WIRING DIAGRAM
Our clear cell allows for easy regular inspections for calcium
build up. Visually check the cell periodically, and clean it as
necessary (1 to 2 times per year). Advanced self-cleaning with
shake plates helps the cell stay cleaner than other self-cleaning
cells, but minimal biannual cleanings are required.
Do not use metal or other hard objects to clean the cell
as this could scratch the precious coating on the plates and
void the warranty.
CAUTION:
Always add acid to water, NOT water to acid.
Diluted muriatic acid solution = 10 parts water to 1 part acid.
Note:
Follow the instructions of the acid manufacturer
.
CAUTION:
Always use protective eyewear and protective
clothing.
Cleaning With Optional Cleaning Cap:
1. Before removing cell, turn off power to pump and control
panel of generator. Make sure to note in which direction the
cell was installed so it can be replaced correctly.
2. Remove the cell from the line by undoing the electrical
connections from the cell and the barrel unions from the cell
ends.
Cleaning Without Optional Cleaning Cap:
1. Remove the cell from the line by undoing the electrical
connections from the cell and the barrel unions from the
cell ends.
2. Remove the black o-rings
on the ends of the cell.
3. Put on rubber gloves and
goggles.
4. Soak entire cell either in
undiluted white distilled
vinegar or in a solution of
diluted muriatic acid (10
parts water to 1 part
muriatic acid).
5. Wait for foaming to stop
(5-10 minutes when using
muratic acid – vinegar takes longer).
6. Safely dispose of muratic acid by pouring it into your pool
only. If using vinegar dispose of by pouring down your
kitchen drain.
7. Rinse cell with water hose. Avoid contact with skin or
clothes.
8. Put the o-rings back in place and re-install the cell in the
line making sure the water flows into the square blue end
of the cell first.
9. Reconnect the electrical wires, being sure to
tighten the
screws on the electrical wires firmly
. See cell wiring
diagram.
Optional
1.Lubricating the o-rings with the silicone lubricant that came
with your POOL FROG

Mineral Hybrid helps improve the
seal of the fittings, but be sure not to use silicone glue,
petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline), or other agents that
could deteriorate the o-rings.
2. Smear the two electrical connections on the outside of the
cell with electrical lubricant.
Control Panel Maintenance
There is no regular maintenance required on the control panel
other than checking that the wiring running from the control
panel to the cell and flow sensor is securely in place. It is
beneficial to keep the control panel clean, dry and out of the
sun.

the ends of the cell.
