Maintaining the AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generator System
To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and visually inspect the AquaRite
Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generator Cell every 3 months or after cleaning your filter. The
AquaRite
Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
will remind you to do this by flashing the "Inspect Cell" LED
after approximately 500 hours of operation. After you inspect the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic
Chlorine Generato
r
(and clean, if necessary) press the small "diagnostic" button next to the display for 3
seconds to stop the flashing "Inspect Cell" LED and start the timer for the next 500 hours.
The AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generator Cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated into the
electronic control’s logic. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic
Chlorine Generato
r
cell working at optimum efficiency. In areas where water is hard (high mineral
content) and in pools where the water chemistry has been allowed to get "out of balance", the
AquaRite Long
Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
cell
may require periodic cleaning. The "Inspect Cell" LED will indicate
if cell efficiency is decreased and servicing is necessary. If the "Inspect Cell" LED remains on after a
thorough cleaning, the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generator
cell may be worn and require
replacement.
Servicing and Cleaning the AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generator cell
Turn off power to the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
before removing the
AquaRite
Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
cell.
Once removed, look inside the
AquaRite Long Life
Electrolytic Chlorine
Generato
r
cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits) on the plates and for
any debris which has passed through the filter and caught on the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall.
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 (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrape
deposits off of plates. Note that a buildup on the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
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 may to have to periodically clean the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic
Chlorine Generato
r
cell. The simplest way to avoid this is to bring the pool chemistry to the recommended
levels as specified.
Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not remove the majority of
deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
.
Remove
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
cell
from piping. In a clean plastic container,
mix a 4:1 solution of water to muriatic acid (one gallon of water to one quart of muriatic acid).
ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and
appropriate eye protection. The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
cell so that the wire harness compartment is NOT
submerged. It may be helpful to coil the wiring before immersing the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic
Chlorine Generato
r
cell. The
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
cell should soak for a
few minutes and then rinse with a high pressure garden hose. If any deposits are still visible, repeat
soaking and rinsing. Replace the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
cell and inspect
again periodically.
•
When replacing the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
cell, only use replacement
cells having a label that clearly states that it is a replacement cell for the AquaRite Long Life
Electrolytic Chlorine Generator, REGISTRATION NUMBER 28325
, PEST CONTROL
PRODUCTS ACT
.
•
The life expectancy of the
AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generato
r
cell is 10,000 hours
under normal use conditions.
Winterizing
The AquaRite Long Life Electrolytic Chlorine Generator Cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by
freezing water just as your pool plumbing would. In areas of the country which experience severe or extended
periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from the pump, filter, and supply and return lines
before any freezing conditions occur. The electronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather
and should not be removed.
