System Cleaning
Over time the chlorination system may develop a build-up of scale. This
should be cleaned on a periodic basis, up to twice per year. If scale formation
is severe, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. Cleaning may be
accomplished by soaking the chlorinator with a dilute acid solution according
to the instructions below.
NOTE: Addition of muriatic acid may lower the pH of the pool water
Preparation for cleaning
