Section 11. Inspecting and
Cleaning the Electrode
In areas that experience calcium hardness the cell
electrode will benefit from cleaning.
1. Switch off the filter pump and chlorine
generator, close necessary valves and unplug
the cell terminal cap.
2. Unscrew the retaining ring and remove the
electrode. If calcium buildup is present,
immerse the electrode in cell cleaning solution
without immersing the terminals.
3. We recommend using Salt Cell Cleaner to
clean the electrode. However, you can mix
your own by carefully adding one (1) part of
Hydrochloric (Muriatic) acid to ten (10) parts
water. Stronger solutions will shorten terminal
life.
NOTE: Always add acid to water, and never water to
acid.
4. Allow the cleaning solution to dissolve the
calcium deposits for about 10 minutes.
NOTE: Dispose of the cleaning solution at an approved
Council Depot and never into storm water or
sewage drains.
5. Rinse the electrode in clean water and re-fit
the electrode in the cell housing.
6. Replace the cell head and plug assembly.
7. Reset valves and switches.
8. Turn pump and controller on.
9. Confirm chlorine output and settings on
the power pack. Timer programs will be
automatically retained.

Section 12. Winterizing
The Viron eQ Chlorinator has a protective system
which will limit sanitizer production during
unfavorable operating conditions, such as cold
water or lack of salt.
Active winterizing leaves the filter pump and
chlorinator running during the winter. This is safe
for temperatures above 10°C. If temperatures
drop below 10°C, the chlorination cell needs to be
deactivated.
Passive winterization calls for the pool to be shut
down. Water levels will need to be lowered and the
piping will need to be drained. The cell electrode
can be left in place with isolation valves open.
12.1 Reopening the Pool
Required actions:
1. Adjust the water level (too much or too little)
2. Check the water parameters.
3. TAC/TH/pH/Salinity/Chlorine/Stabilizing Agent/
Copper/Metals.
4. Adjust the parameters to obtain a balanced,
healthy pool, see Section 6.
5. Check the condition of the equipment (pump,
filter, chlorinator, electrolytic cell).
6. Once the salt level has reached the required
level of 4000 ppm and has dissolved in the
water, restart the salt chlorinator.
