You may to have to periodically clean the cell. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually highĬalcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the cause). Tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrape deposits If this is not successful, use a plastic or wood

Garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If deposits are seen, use a high pressure On the plates and for any debris which has passed through the filter and caught on Look inside the cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits) Turn off power to the Aqua Rite before removing the electrolytic cell. Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Rite cell In the future I'm going to get one of those acid wash stands, because it looks far simpler to just screw the cell onto the stand and fill it up with wash. I'm fairly certain I read that you should try and avoid submerging the part of the cell where the cord goes in into the acid wash but I guess I could be wrong.

Also, I suppose your plumbing situation could be more difficult than mine, but I just opened the vent on my filter to release the pressure on the plumbing and probably lost less than a gallon of water when I removed the t-cell from the line. When I cleaned mine, I used a 4-1 water/acid mix. Hand tighten unions before restoring power to filter pump.

If not, repeat cleaning procedure.ĩ) Rinse cell with fresh water and replace in plumbing line. Look in both ends of the cell to confirm calcium deposits are removed. You will be submersing the cord, which will not be affected by the mild acid solution. Let the cell sit in this solution for 5-10 minutes.ħ) Turn the cell over and let the other end sit in the solution for 5 - 10 minutes. My question for all you pool guru's is: how do I disconnect the Turbo Cell from the water line, without having water spill all over the place?Ģ) Remove the AquaRite Turbo Cell from its position in the plumbing by loosening the unions on both ends of the cell.ģ) You will need a small plastic bucket (6 - 8" opening), water and muriatic acid.ĥ) Set the Turbo Cell, on end, in the bucket of water.Ħ) Add 1 - 1 1/2" of muriatic to the water in the bucket. I've found the below directions on a couple of spots on the Internet.
