Maintenance - Intex Krystal Clean Poolwater 8221 Owner's Manual

Maintenance

IMPORTANT: Unplug power cord before cleaning and close plunger valves or insert black hat-like
plugs in strainer opening to prevent water spillage. Plug in the power cord and open plunger valves or
remove plugs when maintenance tasks are completed.
Flow Sensor Cleaning
1. In a counter-clockwise motion unscrew the collar of the flow sensor (05CG-04) and remove it from
the flow sensor conduit (05CG-06). See "Part Reference".
2. If deposits and debris are seen on the surface of the flow sensor, then use a garden hose to wash
it off.
Hinge
3. If flushing does not remove the deposits, use plastic brush (do not use a metal brush) to clean the
surface and the hinge if necessary.
4. After the flow sensor has been inspected and cleaned, align the locator notch on the flow
sensor to the connection ridge in the conduit, turn the collar in a clockwise motion tightening the
sensor back into its position. Do not over tighten.
Electrolytic Cell Cleaning
The electrolytic cell (05CG-01) has a self cleaning function incorporated into the electronic control's
programming. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the cell working at optimum efficiency. If
the pool water is hard (high mineral content) the cell may require periodic manual cleaning. Follow the
cleaning instructions below. To maintain maximum performance, it is recommended that you open and
visually inspect the electrolytic cell (05CG-01) and debris screen (05CG-08) every 3 months.
Visual Inspection and Cleaning:
1. Switch off the unit, unplug the power cord from the electrical socket.
2. Grasp a plunger valve handle. Turn the handle counter-clockwise, push down until it stops and
then turn it clockwise until the plastic protruding notch anchors in the "0/I" position. Repeat for the
2nd plunger valve. This prevents the water from flowing out of the pool.
