Cleaning the Electrolytic Cell (Continued)
To clean the Cell of mineral buildup:
1) Attach Cleaning Cap or Cleaning Stand (sold separately, available at
www.circupool.com) and orient the Cell vertically. Place on the
ground and stabilize so as to remain upright and prevent spilling.
2) In a separate bucket, mix one part muriatic acid into four parts
water. Pour this weak acid solution directly into Cell. Ensure that the
cleaning solution COMPLETELY fills the inside of the Cell.
3) Allow solution to soak for no more than fifteen minutes.
4) Properly dispose of acid solution, and use a hose to generously flush
any remaining debris out of the Cell.
5) Look inside the cell to check that no debris or scaling remains.
Repeat steps 2-4 if necessary.
6) Reinstall Cell into PVC return line.
Note: if you don’t currently have a Cleaning Cap, you can completely
immerse the cell body in a five-gallon bucket. For instructions, see
guides listed under www.circupool.com/help.
Note: If mineral build-up is severe, more than one cleaning may be
necessary to dissolve remaining solids. Inspect cell plates closely with a
bright light after cleaning. If you see any remaining scaling, debris, or
physical blockages through Cell, repeat the cleaning process as needed.
If “Cell Maint.” comes back on soon after cleaning, verify salinity and
system cell version setting, then clean cell again.
General Maintenance
Winterizing
Very little chlorine is necessary at low temperatures. The Universal
Series will not produce chlorine at very cold temperatures, especially
below 60° F. This feature extends the lifespan of the Cell. Additionally,
Winter Bypass cells are available, which allow you to continue to run
water through the plumbing without the Electrolytic Cell in place. (sold
separately, available at www.circupool.com)
