NOTE: Excessive acid washing will damage the electrolytic
cell. Do not leave in acid for more than 30 minutes.

Section 3.3.

6.4 Winterizing

NOTE: Do not use Ethylene Glycol (anti-freeze) in the
system.
Very little chlorine is needed in cold water. Operating
the chlorinator below 11°C (51°F) is not recommended.
Operating the chlorinator in cold water can shorten the
life of the cell.
If preventative measures are not taken, freezing water
may cause severe damage to the cell. Prevent freeze
damage to the cell by running pump continuously or
winterize pool by draining water from pump, filter, and all
intake and return lines. Remove the cell, clean and store
it indoors. Coil the cell leads, wrap in plastic and tape to
the power pack.
Winterizing caps are included with this product to
replace the cell during winterizing or cell maintenance.
This will enable pool pump to circulate water with the cell
out of the line.
During the cold season, if you are using a FREEZE
CONTROLLER on pump equipment and you choose
to keep the chlorinator installed, turn the CHLORINE
PRODUCTION down to 20%, otherwise, chlorine
production will exceed the recommended level of
1 - 3 ppm.
WARNING
Disconnect power to the system at the main circuit
breaker before performing this procedure to avoid risk
of electric shock which can result in property damage,
severe injury or death.
Winterizing Procedure
1. Ensure that all power to the power pack and the
controller is disconnected/turned off at the circuit
breaker.
2. Shut off any necessary valves to prevent any
water loss.
3. Open the air relief valve to release any pressure in
the pool system.
4. Remove the terminal cap and cell leads.
5. Undo the locking ring. If required, use the locking
ring tool provided (see Figure 31).
6. Remove the cell (see Figure 32).
7. Attach the winterizing cap (see Figure 34).
8. Position the locking ring in proper alignment,
making sure the bump aligns with the top thread.
9. Screw down the locking ring to the threaded clamp
using the locking ring tool.
