Electrode Maintenance - Replacing Bars - Intec CA10 Instruction Manual

ELECTRODE MAINTENANCE – REPLACING BARS
11.
1. Detach the electrode housing from the pool plumbing. Loosen both unions by turning
them counterclockwise (This assumes you are standing directly above the electrode
and the union at a 6 o'clock position and the center of the electrode is at the 12
o'clock position). Keep in mind that the unions are on opposite side of the clear
housing and will have to be turned in opposite directions depending on the
orientation.
2. Detach and remove the electrode. Be careful the O-rings do not fall or get misplaced.
3. There are two screws on each side of the clear housing. Turn them counter-clockwise
until the bars fall out. Repeat the procedure on the other side. Clan holes and tubing
if necessary. Discoloration may occur overtime and does not affect functionality of
the system.
4. Slide new bars in one at a time aligning the hole of the bar with the hole in the clear
tube. It is easiest if you allow the bar to rest at the bottom of the housing and look up
to align the holes.
5. Slide screw into hole and line up with the hole in the copper bar. You can move the
bar around with your fingers and slightly tighten the screw by hand. Repeat the
procedure on the other side.
6. When the bars are in place, use a slot headed screwdriver to tighten the screws until
the seals are slightly compressed. Over tightening may cause the housing to crack.
7. Reinstall the electrode housing and ensure the O-rings are in place
8. Re-pressurize the system by turning on the pump and check for leaks. If the leak is at
the screw, turn ¼ turn until the leak stops.
