EziSalt Saltwater Chlorinator | Installation Manual
Section 9. Inspecting and Cleaning
the Electrode
In areas that experience calcium hardness the cell
electrode will benefit from cleaning.
1.
Switch off the fi lter pump and chlorine
generator, close necessary valves and unplug
the cell terminal cap.
2.
Unscrew the cell from the barrel unions and
invert the cell so it is upside down with the
cell ports facing up and pour an appropriate
amount of cell cleaning solution to cover the
cell plates.
3.
We recommend using Zodiac Salt Chlorinator
Cell Cleaner to clean the electrode. However,
you can mix your own by carefully adding
one (1) part of Hydrochloric (Muriatic) acid to
ten (10) parts water. Stronger solutions will
shorten terminal life.
4.
Allow the cleaning solution to dissolve the
calcium deposits for about 10 minutes.
NOTE: Dispose of the cleaning solution at an approved
Council Depot and never into storm water or
sewage drains.
5.
Rinse out the cell with tap water and refi t onto
the barrel unions screwing them on fi rmly
(ensure that the o'rings are seated correctly).
6.
Reset valves and switches.
7.
Turn pump and controller on.
8.
Confi rm chlorine output and settings on
the power pack. Timer programs will be
automatically retained.
Unscrew and Remove Barrel Unions

Section 10. Winterizing
Active winterizing leaves the filter pump and
chlorinator running during the winter. However the
colder the water temperature the greater the wear
and tear on the cell, it is recommended to reduce
output and/or your filtration times as temperature
drops. If temperatures drop below 10°C, the
chlorination cell should be reduced as much as
possible.
Passive winterization calls for the pool to be shut
down. Water levels will need to be lowered and the
piping will need to be drained. The cell electrode
can be left in place with isolation valves open.
10.1 Reopening the Pool
Required actions:
1.
Adjust the water level (too much or too little)
2.
Check the water parameters.
3.
TAC/TH/pH/Salinity/Chlorine/Stabilizing Agent/
Copper/Metals.
4.
Adjust the parameters to obtain a balanced,
healthy pool, see Section 5.
5.
Check the condition of the equipment (pump,
fi lter, chlorinator, electrolytic cell).
6.
Where necessary, check the sensors, clean if
needed and re-calibrate.
7.
Once the salt level has reached the required
level of 4000ppm and has dissolved in the
water, restart the salt chlorinator.
