Cell 

 

The Cell is installed with Unions on each end of the cell to allow quick and easy removal.  Loosen the unions and remove the 
cell from the plumbing.

VISUAL CELL INSPECTION: 

The titanium Cell blades, seen inside the Cell body, should be straight and clear of any debris between the blades.  Your Pool 
Pilot Digital is designed to automatically self-clean scale build -up within the Cell.  However, imbalanced water chemistry and 
certain conditions can cause a heavier scale build up that exceeds the self-cleaning capability and would need to be cleaned 
manually by the method described below. 
 
Periodically inspect both ends of the cell. 
A White Flaky or Crusty build-up on the 
edge or between the blades will prematurely 
deplete the life of the cell.  Immediately

scaling.  See Troubleshooting Section, page 14. 
 

 

MANUAL CELL CLEANING: 

With the Cell removed as described above, use a high-pressure hose nozzle to spray off as much loose, soft scale and debris as 
possible.  Any remaining calcium scale can be treated with a mixture of one (1) part Muriatic Acid into four (4) parts water.  
Mix the solution in a container high enough to cover the Cell blades. You may also use (non-fuming/pre

mixed) 

cell cleaner

, per label directions. 

Remove the Cell cord and immerse t he Cell so that the blades are completely covered in the solution for up to 15 minutes.  An 
effervescences action indicates the calcium is being neutralized and cleaned.  Drain the cell, flush with fresh water and re -
inspect.  Repeat the immersion if necessary.  Once the cell has been cleaned and rinsed; it may be re -installed in-line.  BE 
SURE THAT THE CELL “PINS” ARE CLEAN AND DRY BEFORE ATTACHING THE DC CORD FROM THE POWER 
SUPPLY. 

WARNING: ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER, never water to acid. 

 

When replacing the cell, only use replacement cells having a label that clearly states that it is a replacement cell for the chlorine 
generating device R B F CRISTAL MAGIC Digital Model DIG36, REGISTRATION NUMBER 28025, PEST CONTROL 
PRODUCTS ACT. 
  

NEVER USE ANY SHARP OR METALLIC OBJECTS TO REMOVE SCALE.  Scraping or scratching the titanium 
blade’s edge or surface will allow chemical attack of the blade, cause premature failure of the Cell and will void your 
warranty.
