Clean the cell when calcium buildup is present (reverse polarity systems)
WARNING
Read all cautions and directions provided with the muriatic acid used. Always add acid to
water. Use only with adequate ventilation. If strong odor is noticed, STOP, ventilation is
inadequate. Leave area immediately. If the work area is not well ventilated you MUST use a
properly fitted and maintained NIOSH approved respirator for acid fumes.
To clean the cell manually, disconnect power from the system, close the lower cell isolation
valve and then close the upper cell isolation valve. Disconnect the cables from electrolytic cell.
Remove the bolts holding the electrolytic cell stack in the cell tube and lift the cell out of the cell
tube. Immerse the cell in a solution with a 4 to 1 water and muriatic acid mixture. Leave the
cell in the muriatic acid solution until the cell is clean. Do not leave the cell in the muriatic acid
solution any longer than necessary to clean the cell. Reassemble the cell stack in the tube
and reconnect the cables to the top of the cell stack.
