MAINTENANCE
6.1
It is recommended that a pool water sample is taken to a pool shop and tested once per month
for analysis. Please refer to Pool Chemistry (section 2.0) for additional information.
6.2
The electrolytic cell operates most efficiently when it is clean. As a natural result of the
electrolytic process, which creates chlorine from salt molecules, calcium is attracted to the
titanium plates in the cell. The self-cleaning feature helps to inhibit such build-up and scaling.
However, the attraction of calcium and other minerals is inevitable, and eventually, it must be
removed.
6.3
The transparent housing of the cell allows easy visual inspections, and with correct water
chemistry, the cell will only need cleaning approximately every 3-6 months. In regions with
hard water (high calcium levels), more frequent cleaning may be required.
6.4
To clean the cell follow these instructions:
1. Turn off power to the chlorinator and pump.
2. Remove the cell from the cell housing by loosening the cell collar and pull the cell out of
the housing. If required, disconnect the cell cable wires at the junction box underneath the
power pack (these must be re-connected firmly and tightly).
3. With the cell removed use a high-pressure hose nozzle to spray off as much loose scale
as possible. Do not use any sharp or metallic objects to remove scale as this will damage the
cell.
4. If further cleaning is required, the cell needs to cleaned in a mixture of 1 part Hydrochloric
Acid to 10 parts water. Mix the acid solution in a bucket or tube that will fit the cell.
5.

WARNING:
Chemical Hazard - When mixing acid with water, always add the acid to
the water, never add water to the acid. When using the acid, ensure to use rubber gloves
and appropriate eye protection and follow safety directions on the Hydrochloric Acid label.
6. Place the cell into the cleaning solution submerging the plates and ensuring that the cell
head does not come in contact with the acid solution. Once the cell is clean, remove it from
the cleaning solution and rinse. Replace the cell into housing in a reverse manner to the
steps above.
