Pre-installation descaling ensures any existing biofouling that has accumulated on the interior seawater lines are removed. If seawater lines are impacted with barnacles and marine growth, then ElectroSea recommends professional descaling prior to installing the ElectroStrainer System. By starting with descaled and clean seawater lines, you will realize the full benefit of the ElectroStrainer System.
NOTICE Flow Alert feature is default OFF from ElectroSea and must be set by the installer or end user. NOTICE ElectroStrainer will continue generating chlorine even after a Strainer Flow Alert occurs.
When the ElectroStrainer Cell has reached the end of its useful life it can no longer generate chlorine. The Cell life is dependent on flow rate, hours of use, seawater quality and other factors. RESOLUTION: Contact your ElectroSea dealer. U.S. Patent No. 11,027,991 and other U.S. and Foreign Patents Pending...

ElectroStrainer Canister Installation Chlorinated Return Line to Canister To prevent growth at the inlet of the ElectroStrainer basket, a chlorinated return line should be connected from the pressure side of the pump to the Canister Assembly’s 90-degree fitting located under the inlet port. Connect this chlorinated return line with a tee-fitting and ball valve to the pressure side of the pump.
ElectroStrainer Canister Installation Canister Reassembly Insert the basket into the Canister. Align the flat edge of the basket with the flat edge of the Canister. Confirm the gasket is in the top of the Canister. Flat Edge The Canister and lid are keyed and can be inserted in only one direction. Align the flat edge of the Cell screen and strainer basket.
