To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you remove and visually
inspect the cell every 3 months. The HydroSalt
™
will remind you to do this by flashing the
“Check Cell” LED after approximately 500 hours of operation. After you inspect the cell
(and clean, if necessary) press the small “diagnostic” button next to the display for 3
seconds to stop the flashing “Check Cell” LED and start the timer for the next 500 hour
inspection period.
The HydroSalt
™
electrolytic cell has a self-cleaning feature incorporated into the
electronic control’s logic. In most cases this self-cleaning action will keep the cell working
at optimum efficiency. In areas where water is hard (high calcium and/or mineral content)
and in pools where the water chemistry has gotten “out of balance”, the cell may require
periodic cleaning. The “Inspect Cell” LED remains on after a thorough cleaning, the cell
may be worn and may require replacement.
Servicing and Cleaning the cell
Turn off power to the HydroSalt
™
before removing the
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 that has passed
through the filter and got caught on the plates.
If no deposits are visible, re-install. 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 to scrape deposits off of the plates.
Note:
**DO NOT USE A METAL SCRAPER AS THIS WILL SCRATCH THE
FINISH AND DAMAGE THE PLATES.**
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 will need
to clean the cell more frequently. The simplest way to avoid this is to bring the
pool chemistry to recommended levels, as specified.
