7. MAINTENANCE OF POWER SUPPLY

The power supply requires little, or no maintenance. However, it is essential that the wall or post to which the HSMC is installed
be sprayed (not the HSMC itself) periodically with a good surface type insect repellent, since penetration by insects may cause
damage, which is not covered by your warranty.
IMPORTANT. Certain local electrical regulations state "If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord available from the manufacturer or its service agent".

8. MAINTENANCE OF THE ELECTROLYTIC CELL

The HSMC cell is composed of precious materials, and although proper maintenance can prolong its life to the maximum,
eventually the output will wear away its delicate coating, at which time it gradually ceases to produce chlorine. Calcium
(scale) is deposited on the plates as electrolysis takes place. This build up will interfere with the flow of electrical current in
the cell and thus lowers chlorine production. It is essential to inspect the cell regularly and clean when necessary. The rate
at which deposits will form on the plate differs with each pool and can be influenced by the following:
• Calcium hardness of the water;
• Water temperature;
• pH level;
• Water which has been chlorinated with calcium hypochlorite for an extended period; and/or
• Calcium in the plaster surfaces of a concrete pool.
Because these conditions vary so much, check the cell at least weekly to begin with to see if either scale or a blue/green
soapy substance appears on the plates. You will then be able to determine the cleaning cycle necessary for your pool (more
frequent cleaning may be required in summer). The intervals between cleaning could get longer to the point where cleaning
is only necessary a couple of times each year.
