4.CLEANING - MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
4.1.
Electrode Cleaning
Although the physical properties of the water used vary depending on geographical regions, it inevitably
contains certain amounts of calcium, magnesium, iron, and other minerals. While the water is cold, these
suspended minerals decompose from water during electrolysis, some of them stick to the electrodes in the
chamber. After a certain period, the electrodes are completely covered with the substance called lime. Since
the lime layer is insulating, they complicate the flow of electricity between the electrodes. As a result, chlorine
production efficiency decreases. This lime formed in the electrodes must be cleaned periodically.
This cleaning process; It has the feature to do it automatically by changing the polarization. However, in
cases where the calcium concentration is too high, this feature may not completely remove the limescale.
Regularly check the lime sediment in the cell and, if necessary, clean the cell manually.
1.
Turn off the pump and salt chlorine generator.
2.
Close the water inlet and water outlet valves of the electrode cell.
3.
Open the threaded electrode head, properly disconnect the electrode cable from the terminal and remove the
electrode from the chamber.
4.
Ideally, if the electrode is expected to dry for a day, the lime residue releases itself. During the process, be
careful not to damage the sensitive cover of the electrode and take care. During this process, never hit with
metal material that can scratch the electrode. Pressurized water can be used to dissolve limescale.
5.
If the pressurized water could not remove the limescale, you can immerse the electrode in a 20%
hydrochloric acid solution. The terminals at the top of the electrode must not touch the solution.
6.
Immediately after cleaning, the electrode must be rinsed with clean water, the place of the terminals must be
carefully dried and reassembled.
Never leave the electrode in acid for more than 5 minutes! Do not scratch the electrode with
metal objects! For safety reasons, dilute the acid with water !

Advices
The bipolar cells of the GSC salt chlorine generator are manufactured using a special technique, providing an
extraordinary period and resistance below the high-quality standards. However, some factors prevent you from
getting the full and longest performance from the electrode. These:
•
Run with lime residue on the surface of the electrode
•
Excessive chlorine concentration (over 3.00 ppm chlorine is corrosive.)
•
Working with high or low pH
•
Working with salt-free or high concentration salt
•
Operating in water below 10 ° C
•
Adding salt while the chlorinator is running
•
Injecting pH regulator without placing skimmer or bottom strainer
It is recommended to periodically check the cell terminals and lubricate against sulfurization. Situations
where you need to turn off the equipment:
•
Working without water
•
While cleaning the filter
•
When emptying the pool
•
When the water freezes
•
While cleaning the cell
