System Features Power ON and Start-Up Delay Power ON the ClearLine System. The Control Unit will complete a diagnostic self-test, and then the green “POWER” LED will be illuminated. “START-UP” will be displayed for 30 seconds. 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.
System Features Optimal Performance Constant Chlorinated Seawater Flow: The ClearLine System should be powered ON and have seawater flowing through the ClearCell whenever possible. This provides the vessel’s seawater circuit with constant chlorinated seawater to prevent unwanted marine growth. Intermittent or stagnant seawater that is not continuously electrochemically treated allows growth of marine microorganisms.
The ClearCell Electrode will be effective for many years before replacement is required. RESOLUTION: Contact your ElectroSea dealer. U.S. Patent No. 11,027,991 and 11,345,621, Foreign Patent No. I782112 and other U.S. and Foreign Patents Pending...
ClearCell Maintenance Internal Screen Care Internal Screen: The ClearCell contains an internal screen to catch debris (tiny shells or other foreign materials that pass through the vessel’s main strainer) before it reaches the flow sensor. 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 pages 7 and 8 because the ClearCell infrequently requires rinsing.
ClearCell Maintenance Internal Screen Access Before accessing the ClearCell Electrode, double-check the list of Alerts and Indicators on pages 7 and 8 because the ClearCell infrequently requires rinsing. To Access the ClearCell Electrode: Power OFF the ClearLine Control Unit. Turn OFF ALL seacock valves in the seawater circuit at or below the waterline. This includes any output seacocks to prevent back siphoning.

Inspection Periodic Inspection The ClearLine System should be viewed during regular inspection of the vessel’s engine room. During normal operation, the ClearLine System status screen will flash the message “CLEANING,” and the green LED will be illuminated. This indicates the ClearLine System is generating a safe and effective low level of chlorine preventing unwanted marine growth, barnacles, and biofilm in the seawater lines.
