Zodiac eXPERT - Electrode Inspection and Cleaning

6.2 I Inspecng and cleaning the electrodes
The appliance is equipped with a smart polarity inversion system designed to prevent the electrode plates
from scaling. The polarity reversal me can be modied, see § “4.3.4. “Reverse direct”: Reversal adjustment
for cell cleaning”. However cleaning may be required in regions where the water is very hard.
• Turn o the appliance and the ltraon system, close the isolaon valves, remove the protecon cover and discon-
nect the cell power cable.
• Unscrew the ghtening ring and remove the cell. The ring is crenelated thus allowing a lever to be used in the event
of it jamming (see gure
).
• Submerge the part containing the electrode plates in a suitable recipient containing a cleaning soluon (see gure
).
• Leave the cleaning soluon to dissolve the scale deposit for about 10 minutes. Dispose of the cleaning soluon at
an approved waste recycling site. Never pour into the rainwater drainage system or into the sewers.
• Rinse the electrode using clean water and put it back on the cell xture collar (there is an alignment foolproofer).
• Ret the ghtening ring, reconnect the cell cable and ret the protecve cover.
• Re-open the isolaon valves and restart the ltering system and appliance.
If you are not using a commercially-available cleaning soluon, you can make your own by
carefully mixing 1 part hydrochloric acid with 10 parts water. (Cauon: always pour
the acid into the water and not the opposite and wear suitable protecve equipment).
