General Maintenance
Winterizing
Very little chlorine is necessary at low temperatures. The UNIVERSAL-Series will not produce chlorine at very cold
temperatures, especially below 50° F. This feature extends the lifespan of the Cell. The system will resume operation
once temperatures rise near 55°F.
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)
If you “close” your pool for the winter, you can continue to follow all standard procedures for your local area.
The Electrolytic Cell will be damaged by freezing water just as your pool plumbing would. In areas which experience
severe or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from the pump, filter, supply and
return lines before any freezing conditions occur. The Control Module is capable of withstanding any winter weather
and does not need to be removed.
Spring Start-up
When opening the pool after a period of inactivity, do not power on and use the chlorine generator until the pool's
water chemistry has been balanced and brought to ideal levels. Salt must be added if water has been drained over
the winter.
Replacing the Cell
When the titanium blades inside the Electrolytic Cell have reached the end of their lifespan, replacements are readily
available so that the whole system does not have to be replaced. Replacements are easily switched out. To ensure
quality and value, only genuine CircuPool replacement parts may be used.
