8.2.3 Comprehensive(Oine)CleaningInstrucons
Warning:Always label the contents of cleaning buckets.
1. If possible, allow the hopper to run completely out of Pulsar® Plus Briquees.
2. Add water to three 5-gallon buckets unl each bucket is approximately 3/4 full.
3. Prepare the soak bucket:
a. Carefully add 12 oz of muriac acid to one of the 5-gallon buckets to create a 1% soluon of muriac acid.
Warning:Always be careful when adding muriac acid to water; this combinaon creates an
exothermic reacon, which gives o heat. Failure to take care may result in serious
injury.
b. Label this bucket "ACID FOR SOAKING" and set it aside so that it will not be knocked over.
4. Prepare the rinse bucket:
a. Carefully add 32 oz of muriac acid to another 5-gallon buckets.
Warning:Always be careful when adding muriac acid to water; this combinaon creates an
exothermic reacon, which gives o heat. Failure to take care may result in serious
injury.
b. Label this bucket "RINSE ACID" and set it aside so that it will not be knocked over.
5. Label the remaining bucket "FRESH WATER" and set it aside.
6. Close the booster pump and venturi inlet and outlet 1 ½" ball valves.
7. Close the feeder inlet and outlet 1/2” ball valves.
8. Turn o the control box master power switch.
9. Remove the drain pipe from the HCE bowl and use the basket removal tool to remove the used grid basket from the chlorinator. If
necessary, use a at head screw driver to jostle the basket to break scaling (you may have to move the wash nozzle out of the way to
remove the pipe).
10. Place the used basket and drain pipe into the FRESH WATER bucket.
11. Shake the used basket up and down in the FRESH WATER bucket to remove loose residue.
12. Transfer the used basket and drain pipe to the ACID FOR SOAKING bucket and let it soak for 24 hours.
13. Remove the venturi from the union connecon and place it in the ACID for soaking bucket and let it soak for 1 hr.
14. Pour the contents of the RINSE ACID bucket into the hopper of the feeder.
15. Aer 1 hour, check the chlorinator and tank. If both are sll heavily scaled:
a. Carefully pour another 32 oz of muriac acid into the hopper.
b. Add 32 oz of clean water to the hopper.
c. Check the chlorinator and tank again in another hour.
16. Aer 1 hour, check the venturi. If it is sll scaled, add some more acid and water in the soaking bucket and allow to soak for another 30 min
to 1 hour. Once the venturi is conrmed clean, re-install at the 1 ½" unions.
17. Aer the feeder is clean, open the 1/2" outlet ball valve on the venturi sucon allowing it to remove the contents of the tank.
18. Inspect the hopper and soluon tank for cleanliness.
19. Pour addional fresh water into the hopper, if necessary, to remove any debris remaining in the hopper or tank.
20. Aer the feeder has drained, close the outlet 1/2" ball valve.
21. Dry the inside of the hopper.
22. Install the replacement basket and drain pipe and place Pulsar® Plus Briquees into the hopper.
23. Follow the Operaon Instrucons on page 17 to restart the unit.
