Maintaining the Electrolytic Cell
As a natural result of the electrolytic process which creates chlorine
from salt molecules, a white mineral build-up is attracted to the
titanium plates in the Cell. The self-cleaning feature helps to inhibit such
build-up and scaling. However, the attraction of minerals is inevitable,
and eventually it must to be removed. The Control Module will
illuminate the "Check Cell" light when such cleaning is necessary. With
correct water chemistry, the Cell will typically only need cleaning once
or twice a season. Visit www.circupool.com/help for more information.
When removing the Cell for cleaning or replacement:
1)
Turn off all power, close return line valves if applicable.
2)
Unplug the cell cable connecting the Cell to the Control Module.
3)
Unscrew Threaded Collars around the PVC piping that connect the
Cell to the return line plumbing.
4)
Pull entire Cell away from the Unions. DO NOT pull or hold the Cell
by its cable.
To clean the Cell of mineral buildup:
1)
Attach
Cleaning
Cap
(sold
separately,
available
at
www.circupool.com) and orient the Cell vertically. Place on the
ground and stabilize so as to remain upright and prevent spilling.
2)
In a separate bucket, mix one part muriatic acid into four parts
water. Pour this weak acid solution directly into Cell. Ensure that the
cleaning solution COMPLETELY fills the inside of the Cell.
3)
Allow solution to soak for NO MORE THAN TEN MINUTES.
4)
Properly dispose of acid solution and use a hose to generously rinse
the Cell.
5)
Reinstall Cell into PVC return line.
Note
: If mineral build-up is severe, more than one cleaning may be
necessary to dissolve remaining solids. Cleaning the Cell is only
necessary to remove an excessive build-up of minerals on the plates. A
light coating of minerals does not impede performance. Excessive
cleaning will reduce lifespan of the cell. If submerging entire Cell
assembly, do not allow Cell cable to be covered by liquid.
IMPORTANT
: When cleaning the Cell always wear adequate protection,
such as rubber gloves and eye protection. Always add acid to water, do not
add water to acid. Always work in a well-ventilated area. Splashing or
spilling acid can cause severe personal injury and/or property damage.
