Expected Maintenance
After the system has run for a time, your cell will eventually need to be
cleaned due to natural mineral scaling. The system will notify you of this
by turning on the “Cell Maint.” light. When illuminated, follow the
cleaning instructions below under "Cleaning the Electrolytic Cell".
If your “Cell Maint.” light is only flashing, this is a programmed reminder
to simply visually inspect your cell (and clean, if necessary). To turn off the
flashing “Cell Maint.” light, press and hold the System Status button
(next to the display) for 5 seconds.
The frequency of cleaning depends on your water chemistry and the
Saturation Index of the water. For most people, cleaning is only necessary
a handful of times per season. More rapid mineral build up is sure sign of
a chronically high Saturation Index; it is possible for imbalanced chemistry
to cause scaling to occur quite rapidly. Consult a pool professional for
additional help.
Cleaning the Electrolytic Cell
Once substantial deposits have built up on the titanium plates in the
Cell, the “Cell Maint.” light will illuminate, and the mineral scaling must
to be removed. To do so, follow these steps:
Important precautions: When cleaning the Cell always wear adequate
protection, such as rubber gloves and eye protection. Always add acid to
water, do not add water to acid. Always work in a well-ventilated area.
Splashing or spilling acid can cause severe personal injury and/or property
damage.
Before removing the Cell for cleaning or replacement:
1) Turn off all power to all pool equipment, close supply line valves if
applicable.
2) Unplug the Cell cable connecting the Cell to the Control Module.
3) Disconnect the Cell by unscrewing the Threaded Collars around the
PVC unions where the Cell attaches to the return line plumbing.
4) Remove entire Cell from between the unions. DO NOT pull or hold
the Cell by its cable.
