| Cell cleaning frequency
is dependent on several factors. pH and calcium levels in the water are
the two that have the greatest effect on how often the cell requires cleaning.
Maintaining
pH at the levels recommended in the Operating Instructions (7.2 - 7.8) should
result in cell cleaning 3-4 times a year in areas with hard water. Cells
can be cleaning less frequently in soft water areas.
The cell will require maintenance when the "Inspect Cell" light is either
flashing or is on solid and the salt level is confirmed to be above 2500
part per million.
- Turn Filter pump off.
- Remove the AquaRite Turbo Cell from its position in the plumbing by
loosening the unions on both ends of the cell.
- You will need a small plastic bucket (6 - 8" opening), water and muriatic
acid. (Picture A)
- Fill the bucket with 3 - 4" of water. (Picture B)
- Set the Turbo Cell, on end, in the bucket of water. (Picture C)
- Add 1 - 1 1/2" of muriatic to the water in the bucket. Let the cell
sit in this solution for 5-10 minutes. (Picture D)
- Turn the cell over and let the other end sit in the solution for 5
- 10 minutes. You will be submersing the cord, which
will not be affected by the mild acid solution. (Picture E)
Look in both ends of the cell to confirm calcium deposits are removed.
If not, repeat cleaning procedure.
- Rinse cell with fresh water and replace in plumbing line. Hand tighten
unions before restoring power to filter pump.
