MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

 

 

 
 

Your 

Pool Pilot® Professional 

systems is designed to operate 24/7 at max 

power, and will  give you years of trouble free use if you follow these basic 
maintenance and  cleaning instructions. 

 

 
 

•  Remember, this system produces sodium hypochlorite “liquid chlorine” 

from the salt that you have added to the water. It will only continue to 
operate correctly if salt is maintained at the correct 5000ppm level. Low 
salt will lower the amount of chlorine produced, and cause damage to the 
electrolytic cell. 

(Warranty’s will not be honored if it is determined that salt has 

been run low.)

 

 

•  There  is  a  strainer  mounted  at  the  bottom  of  your 

Pool  Pilot® 

Professional 

cell,  which  will  trap  debris  and  stop  it  from  entering  the 

cell, this strainer needs to be  cleaned regularly. 

 

•  The plates that are inside the PVC cell housing are the most critical part of 

the system. You will notice that over time a white substance (calcium 
minerals) will build up on the plates, especially at the top of the cell. This 
buildup needs to be cleaned by removing the cell from the housing and 
soaking it in a dilute muriatic solution (1:5) for about 10 – 15 minutes. 
Reverse polarity systems will need to be cleaned every 3 – 6 months. 

(Warranty’s will not be honored if it is determined that the cell has not been  
cleaned regularly.)

 

 
 
 

 

• 

Remember, the titanium plates that make up the cell are the most 
expensive part of the 

Pool Pilot® Professional 

system and are going 

to need to be  replaced roughly every 15,000 hours of operating time. 
By ensuring  that salt is always at the correct level, and plates are 
cleaned  regularly, you will increase their “life”, thus saving you 
money…
