Servicing and Cleaning the Cell
• Turn off power to the Excelpool System before
removing the CELL.
• Once removed, look inside the cell and inspect for
scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits) on
the plates and for any debris that has passed through the
filter and gotten caught on the plates.
• If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen,
use a high-pressure garden hose and try to flush the
scale off. If this is not successful, use a plastic or wood
tool to scrape deposits off of the plates. DO NOT USE A
METAL SCRAPER AS THIS WILL SCRATCH THE
FINISH AND DAMAGE THE PLATES. Note that a
buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually
high calcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually
the cause). If this is not corrected, you will need to clean
the cell more frequently. The simplest way to avoid this is
to bring the pool chemistry to recommended levels, as
specified.
Mild Acid Washing
Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not
remove the majority of deposits. To acid wash:
• Turn off power to Excelpool System.
• Remove cell from piping.
• In a clean plastic container, carefully mix a 4:1 solution
of water to muriatic acid (one gallon of water to one quart
of muriatic acid).
