1. Attach Cleaning Cap (sold separately) 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.

6.4 Winterizing
Very little chlorine is necessary at low temperatures. The will not produce chlorine at
very cold temperatures, especially below 50° F. This feature extends the lifespan of the
Cell.
The Electrolytic Cell will be damaged by freezing water just as your pool plumbing
would. In areas which experience severe or extended periods of freezing temperatures,
be sure to drain all water from the pump, filter, supply and return lines before any
freezing conditions occur. The Control Module is capable of withstanding any winter
weather and does not need to be removed.
Spring Start-up:
When opening the pool after a period of inactivity, do not power on and use the chlorine
generator until the pool's water chemistry has been balanced and brought to ideal
levels.
Replacing the Cell:
When the titanium blades inside the Electrolytic Cell have reached the end of their
lifespan, replacements are available so that the whole system does not have to be
removed. Replacements are easily switched out. To ensure quality and value, only
genuine replacement parts may be used. Bypass cells are available, and may be used
to continue to run water through the plumbing without the Electrolytic Cell in place.
