Water Chemistry
It is important to maintain the correct water chemical balance in the swimming pool;
this will help protect the Hydrochlor chlorinator and its cell.
Consult the local pool professional for the correct water balance according to the
swimming pool type.
The Hydrochlor chlorinator will run correctly at the following chemistry levels
SALT CELL CLEANING PROCEDURE
a. Set the Synchronous Timer to “off” position.
b. Unscrew the barrel unions from the salt cell and disconnect the cables from the salt
cell’s brass connectors.
c. Turn the salt cell housing upside down with both ports facing upwards.
d. Pour the Cell Wash cleaning solution into the housing to dissolve the calcium build-
up from the salt cell plates. There should be just enough solution to cover the salt
cell plates.
e. Allow enough time for the solution to dissolve the calcium build-up from the salt cell
plates. Approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
f. Once the calcium build-up has been removed, pour out the Cell Wash solution into a
bucket and lightly rinse-off excess calcium and Cell Wash solution from the salt cell
assembly, with fresh water.
g. Reconnect the salt cell onto the filter system
h. Set the time back to original “ON” or “AUTO” position on the power pack to
reactivate the Hydrochlor.
Never use products that are not specifically manufactured to clean the Hydrochlor
ST’s salt cell. Do not use raw acids such as Hydrochloric acid. This will damage
the salt cell and severely life and will void warranty. Please consult your local pool
professional for advice on salt cell cleaning products.
