5. Metals Test. It is recommended that the pool water
be tested periodically for the presence of metals
such as iron, and manganese. These metals should
not be present in the pool water. If those metals are
present, contact your local pool professional.

6.3 Cleaning the Cell

Disconnect power to the system at the main circuit
breaker before performing this procedure to avoid
risk of electric shock which can result in property
damage, severe injury or death.
If the cell has a tendency to scale, it is recommended that
every month the cell be removed and inspected for scale
formation and/or debris. Some filters allow debris to pass
through to the cell which could lodge between the plates
in the cell. A small amount of scale formation is normal.
If by looking through the cell it is observed that there is
excessive scale formation between the plates or debris is
present, the cell must be cleaned as follows:
1. Ensure that all power to the power pack and the
controller is turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Before removing the cell for cleaning, shut off any
necessary valves to prevent any water loss.
3. Open the air relief valve on the filter to release any
pressure in the pool system.
4. Loosen the ring and remove the cell.
5. With protective glasses and gloves on, add one (1)
part muriatic acid to ten (10) parts water in a small
bucket and mix the cleaning solution together.
•
When cleaning the cell, wear protective eyeglasses
and gloves.
•
When mixing acid with water, prepare the solution
by ALWAYS ADDING ACID TO WATER. NEVER
ADD WATER TO ACID.
•
Never use undiluted Muriatic acid. Always use the
recommended mixture of Muriatic acid and water.
6. Submerge the cell into the cleaning solution.

7. A foaming action will begin, which is caused by
scale (calcium carbonate) being dissolved from
the plates. If foaming action does not begin, the
cell does not need to be cleaned (STOP THE
CLEANING PROCESS - go to the step 10).
Otherwise allow the cell to remain in the solution
until the foaming has stopped (approximately 5 - 10
minutes).
NOTE
Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to
remove calcium deposits.
8. Flush the cell with fresh water and perform the
inspection again. If considerable blockage is still
present, then re-submerge the plates back into the
cleaning solution, flush and reinspect.
9. After the cell has been cleaned, dispose of the
solution according to local regulations.
10. Rinse the cell thoroughly with clean tap water
and inspect. If deposits are still visible on the
electrolytic cell, repeat step 6.
NOTE Excessive acid washing will damage the electrolytic
cell. Do not leave in acid for more than 30 minutes.
11. Once the cell is clean, reattach the cell as described
in Section 3.4.
WARNING
Do not energize or operate the unit if the cell housing is
damaged or improperly assembled.

6.4 Winterizing

NOTE Do not use Ethylene Glycol (anti-freeze) in the
system.
Very little chlorine is needed in cold water. Operating
the chlorinator below 55°F (13°C) is not recommended.
Operating the chlorinator in cold water can dramatically
shorten the life of the cell.
If preventative measures are not taken, freezing water
may cause severe damage to the cell. Prevent freeze
damage to the cell by running pump continuously or
