MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Your ECOLAB Aqua Balance Pure Comfort Mineral Pool & Spa ® Model 5.0
system is designed to operate 24/7 at max power, and will give you years of

Remember, this system produces sodium hypochlorite “liquid chlorine”

Reverse polarity systems will need to be cleaned every 3 – 6 months.
