Cleaning The Cell; Remove The Cell - Zodiac Pool Systems Jandy AquaPure Serie Manual De Instalación Y Funcionamiento

6.3 Cleaning the Cell

Disconnect power to the system at the main circuit breaker before performing this procedure to avoid risk of
electric shock which can result in property damage, severe injury or death.
•
When cleaning the cell, wear protective eyeglasses and gloves.
•
When mixing acid with water, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER. NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID.
The power pack has an automatic cell cleaning feature (polarity reversing) that removes scale deposits from the cell
(see Section 5.6).
Scale will form in excessively hard water or from pool water that is out of balance and in a scaling condition.
Following the installation of the Jandy
signs of scale.
If the cell has a tendency to scale, it is recommended that every month the cell be removed and inspected for scale
formation and/or debris. Some fi lters allow debris to pass through to the cell which could lodge between the plates
in the cell. A small amount of scale formation is normal. If by looking through the cell it is observed that there is
excessive scale formation between the plates or debris is present, the cell must be cleaned as follows:
1. Ensure that all power to the power pack and the controller is disconnected/turned off at the circuit breaker.
2. Before removing the cell for cleaning, shut off any necessary valves to prevent any water loss.
3. Open the air relief valve to release any pressure in the pool system.
4. Remove the terminal cap and cell leads.
5. Undo the locking ring. If required, use the locking ring tool provided (see Figure 26).
6. Remove the cell (see Figure 27).
7. Refi t the cap on the cell and invert (see Figure 28).
8. With protective glasses and gloves on, add one (1) part muriatic acid to ten (10) parts water and mix.
9. Fill the cell to the top of the electrode plates with the acid solution. A foaming action will begin, which is caused
by scale (calcium carbonate) being dissolved from the plates. If rigorous foaming action does not begin, the cell
does not need to be cleaned (STOP THE CLEANING PROCESS - go to the step 10). Otherwise allow the cell to
remain in the solution until the foaming has stopped (approximately 5 - 10 minutes).
10. After the cell has been cleaned, dispose of the solution by pouring it into the pool water or dispose of according to
local regulations.
11. Rinse the cell thoroughly with clean tap water and inspect. If deposits are still visible on the electrolytic cell,
repeat step 9.
NOTE Excessive acid washing will damage the electrolytic cell. Do not leave in acid for more than 30 minutes.
12. If the cell is clean, reattach the cell as described in Section 3.3.
