Disassembly & Maintenance - ControlOMatic ChlorMaker IL Operating Instructions Manual

DISASSEMBLY & MAINTENANCE
ChlorMaker IL is designed with an automatic self cleaning feature. However, there are some spa water conditions
that are well beyond the control of ChlorMaker IL's reverse polarity and self cleaning design. If a visible white or
scaly substance builds up on the plates, please follow the simple disassembly and cleaning instructions below.
1. Turn main power off to spa and un-plug ChlorMaker's black power supply from the power source.
2. Caution: Some water will drain out of the cell housing during this step. Firmly hold cell housing with a pair of
large pliers or channel locks and turn the large Hex Nut at top of cell housing counter-clockwise with a large
wrench as shown in picture below. The cell plates will turn with the Hex Nut. Loosen the Hex Nut to a point
that can be turned by hand. Loosen all the way and gently pull the cell plates out of the cell housing. Immedi-
ately replace with the spare cap that is provided with ChlorMaker IL to prevent additional water from draining.
3. Place the cell plates in a glass of white vinegar for about 30 minutes to remove any and all scale build up. Do
not scrap plates with any foreign objects. Rinse plates clean with fresh water.
4. Reverse the steps above: Reinstall cell plates, tighten Hex Nut (Use Teflon Tape on threads to create a water
tight seal). Turn main spa power back on and plug the black power supply into the power source to complete
the cleaning process.
