Cleaning Mode During normal operation the Control Unit will flash “Cleaning” and the green Cleaning LED will be illuminated. This indicates the CLEARLINE System is electrochemically generating a safe and effective level of chlorine to prevent biofouling in the vessel’s seawater circuit.
NOTICE Flow Alert feature is default OFF from ElectroSea and must be set-up by the installer or end user. NOTICE CLEARLINE will continue generating chlorine even after a Flow Alert occurs. Flow Alert does not prevent CLEARLINE from operating.
When the ClearCell Electrode has reached the end of its useful life it can no longer generate chlorine. The ClearCell Electrode life is dependent on flow rate, hours of use, seawater quality and other factors. The ClearCell Electrode will be effective for many years before replacement is required.

ClearCell Internal Screen Internal Screen: The ClearCell contains an internal screen to catch debris before it reaches the flow sensor (debris, tiny shells, or other foreign materials that pass through the vessel’s main strainer). The internal screen should be cleaned periodically, and whenever debris gets caught in the screen and decreases seawater flow. Before accessing the ClearCell Electrode, double-check the list of Alerts and Indicators on Pg.
ClearCell Internal Screen Access Before accessing the ClearCell Electrode, double-check the list of Alerts and Indicators on Pg. 6 and 7, because the ClearCell infrequently requires rinsing. To access ClearCell Electrode: Power OFF the CLEARLINE Control Unit. Turn OFF ALL seacock valves in the seawater circuit at or below the waterline.
