Min/Max Flow
The average life expectancy of an ElectroStrainer Cell is 2-4 years. Cell life is dependent on flow rate, hours of
use, seawater quality, and other factors. ElectroStrainer Cells that are supplied with higher seawater flow
rates will deplete faster than those receiving lower flow rates. Refer to the value shown in gallons (or liters)
per minute on the Control Unit screen to see the current flow rate.
End of Life
The first indication that the ElectroStrainer Cell is beginning to deplete or
reach the end of its life expectancy is the appearance of calcium scale. This
scale forms when the metal-oxide coating on the Cell plates has worn off.
If calcium scale is present and continuously getting worse, first find out the
age of the Cell. This can be done by viewing the CELL Menu on the Control
Unit or by asking the customer.
To view the CELL Menu, press Menu, then Cell, then OK. There will be a
number followed by the letter D in the format XXXD. The number indicates
the number of DAYS the Control Unit has been in operation. For example,
"365D" means the Control Unit has been in operation for 365 days, or one year.
If only one Cell has been used with the system, then this number is equal to
the number of days the Cell has been used. NOTE: If multiple Cells have been
used with the system or if the Control Unit has been replaced previously, then
the number shown will not accurately reflect the age of the current
ElectroStrainer Cell.
