5.1
Cell Maintenance
Inspect the Cell plates at least once a week to ensure that they are clear of foreign matter and other debris.
NOTE:
A filtration problem exists (contaminated water is by-passing the filter) if debris is found to have built up around the electrodes and
plates of the Cell and should immediately be corrected.
5.2
Calcium Deposits
If calcium deposits form on the electrodes and plates, it may be caused by one of the following:
a) Low Water Flow through the Cell – Check the hoses and the injector for blockage of water flow, and/or kinking.
b) Poor water Quality - High calcium content, High pH levels, clean cells (see below).
c) Aged Cell – After 3-5 years loss of plate coatings may decrease the effectiveness of the self-cleaning process. Replace cell.

WINTERIZATION
Freezing water may damage the Cell’s internal components and may cause cracks in the casing , voiding the Warranty. If severe, or extended periods
of freezing temperatures are possible, drain all the water from the pump, filter, chlorine generator cell, supply and return lines before freezing occurs.
SPRING START-UP
Balance your pool and perform start-up as listed in this manual.
Section 5
Chlorine Cell Function & Maintenance
Section 6
Winterization and Spring Start -UP
Turn CSS 12 System and pool pump OFF and allow water to drain back out of the cell and bypass system.
Disconnect the 3/4” system hose from the bottom of the chlorine generator cell.
Disconnect the 3/4“ system hose from the bypass exit point. Screw cap on exit point if necessary.
Your CSS 12 System comes supplied with a 3/4” by 36“ clear drain hose for the cell cleaning process.
Connect this clear drain hose to the bottom of the cell. Verify the small ball valve on the end of the hose is fully open.
Holding the clear drain hose as high as possible, fill the cell with chlorine generator cell cleaning solution through the
clear hose until the solution fills the cell completely.
Close the small ball valve at the end of the hose.
Allow cleaning solution to soak in the cell for 60 minutes.
Open the small ball valve and drain the solution into a waste bucket or approved container.
Connect a garden hose to the 3/4” system hose, that is connected to the top of the cell.
Keeping the drain hose end down in the waste container, slowly turn the water on to flush the cell.
Turn water off and disconnect the garden hose from the 3/4“ systen hose.
Disconnect the clear drain hose from the bottom of the cell.
Reconnect the 3/4” system hoses to bottom of cell and bypass exit point.
Restart pool pump and turn CSS 12 System on.
Dispose of the cleaning solution waste according to the instructions on the cleaning solution container.
