Cleaning the Electrode
D
epending upon water chemistry, occasional manual
e
lectrode cleaning may be necessary.
1. Turn off the filter pump and DuoClear, and open the air
r
elief valve to release the pressure in the system. Close
necessary valves.
2. Unplug the electrode connector from the vessel.
3. Unscrew the retaining ring and remove the electrode.
4. Mix a cleaning solution [one (1) part hydrochloric
(muriatic) acid to ten (10) parts water] in a suitable plastic
container. To avoid splash, always add muriatic acid to
water rather than water to acid.
Solutions stronger than
1:10 will damage electrode and void warranty.
5. Immerse electrode only until plates are covered. Do not
submerge the entire electrode
.
6. Allow the cleaning solution to sizzle for approximately
5 minutes. If scrapping is necessary, use a soft object -
never metal.
When the electrode is clean, pour cleaning solution into a
bucket of water. Solution can then be disposed of down a
drain. Never mix chemicals together. Always rinse bucket
and drain area with plenty of fresh water.
7. Rinse electrode plates and o-ring with clean water. Coat
o-ring lightly with silicone lubricant (just enough to make
it shiny).
9. Fit electrode into vessel, ensure o-ring is seated properly
and tighten the locking ring.
10. Reset valves.Turn pump and DuoClear on, and confirm
chlorine output and settings.
Resetting the Fuse
A resettable fuse is located above the power cord in the middle of the DuoClear
power pack. If the fuse is blown (popped, with white area exposed):
• Turn off all power to power pack.
• Locate fuse and push to reset.
• Restore power to unit.
Preventing Damage Caused by Insects
The case of the po
w
er pac
k has small v
ents to allo
w inter
nal components to remain cool in hot w
eather.
Sometimes small insects enter the case of the power pack causing damage to the internal electrical
components.To avoid this, spray insect repellent on surfaces around the power pack.
