Mild Acid Washing:
Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not remove the majority of
deposits. To acid wash:
Turn off power to HydroSalt™.
Remove cell from piping.
In a clean plastic container, carefully mix a 4:1 solution of water to muriatic acid
(one gallon of water to one quart of muriatic acid).
WARNING :
ALWAYS POUR ACID INTO WATER-NEVER POUR WATER INTO ACID.
BE SURE TO WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES, CLOTHING AND CHEMICAL
RESISTANT GLOVES
The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of the cell so
that the wire harness compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil
the wiring before immersing the cell.
The cell should soak for FIVE minutes, then rinse with a high-pressure garden
hose.
If any deposits are still visible, repeat soaking and rinsing.
Replace cell and inspect again periodically.
Winterizing
The HydroSalt™ electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freezing
water, similar to other pool components that require proper winterization. In areas of the
country that experience severe or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to
drain all water from the pump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing
conditions occur. The electronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and
