a. After completely removing the cell from plumbing and the power supply, hose off scale and loose debris
from the cell blades. Do not use sharp objects to remove buildup from the blades, as this will damage
their chemical composition and shorten the cell's life span.
b. If needed, use a solution of 80% water and 20% muriatic acid to clean the cell (always add acid to the
water). If a cell cleaning stand is available, fill the cell with the solution and let stand for about 10
minutes. If not, the solution can be poured into a bucket and the cell dipped into it, taking care to avoid
the acid contacting the cord harness.
c. Rinse the cell with clean water and reattach to the plumbing line.
3. If the "Inspect Cell" light remains on after a thorough cleaning, this is usually a sign that the cell is wearing down
and needs replacing.
