6.3.c Manual Cleaning
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.
l
CHEMICAL HAZARD - To avoid damaging splashes always add acid to water, never water to acid.
Wear safety glasses and use other appropriate personal protection equipment.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
l
Scraping or scratching the titanium blade’s edge or surface will damage the blade catalyst coating and
cause premature failure of the cell... warranty will be voided. Never use any sharp or metallic objects to
remove scale.

1. Place a PLA0113 cell cleaning plug (AutoPilot
®
accessory) on the end of the cell as
shown. A 1 ½” MPT clean out plug may also be used and can be purchased in the
PVC plumbing section at most pool supply or home improvement stores.
2. Fill the capped cell with water two (2) inches from the top of the cell blades.
3. Fill the rest of the cell with muriatic acid. This allows for an approximate 1-to-4
solution. Always add the acid to the water. If you do it the other way around, it can
cause the solution to spray back causing serious injury.
4. Allow the solution to sit in the cell for fifteen (15) minutes or until the acid stops
bubbling.
5. Safely dispose of the solution; pouring it into the pool is recommended.
6. Remove the cap and rinse the cell with light water pressure; re-inspect the cell and
repeat acid cleaning if the cell is still scaled.
6.3.d Installing
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
l
The electrical terminals must be completely dry to avoid corrosion and failure of the cell or cable.
l
Ensure that the cell cable is fully engaged. A partially seated cable may result in damage to the cable or
cell during operation.
1. Clean and dry the electrical pins on the cell. The contacts must be completely dry to avoid corrosion
and failure of the cell or cable.
2. Ensure the union o-rings are in place; then place the cell into the manifold with cell pins pointed
upward. See
3. If necessary, use water to rinse away any dirt and debris on the union and then tighten the unions by
hand for a watertight seal. The cell cable has three (3) electrical contact pins. Align the cable and
terminals and connect them together.
4. Turn on the system.
5. Check for leaks and proper operation.
6.4 Winterizing
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
l
Special measures are required in the event of freezing conditions. The Pool Pilot
®
may be damaged if
measures are not taken in advance of freezing conditions. Equipment damage due to freezing
conditions is NOT covered under the equipment warranty.
During brief freezing conditions, allow the filtration system to run continuously throughout the
freeze period. Circulating (moving) water will not freeze.
In areas where freezing conditions are prevalent and sustained, the equipment must be
winterized as follows:
