Here is a generic description of cleaning a cell, be sure to follow the manufacturer's original instructions including all safety procedures. 1) Turn all power to the filter system and salt system off. Close return line valves if applicable. 2) Completely disconnect the Cell Cord from the Control Module. 3) Unscrew the two threaded collars at the inlet and outlet side of the cell. 4) Remove cell from the return line. 5) IMPORTANT: Using gloves and eye protection during this process is recommended. Always add acid to the water, never water to the acid. 6) In a separate bucket, mix a solution of: one part Muriatic Acid and five parts water. 7) Either us a cleaning stand to cap off one end of the cell and fill the cell with cleaning solution, or submerge the cell in a bucket of cleaning solution (making sure the interior is completely filled and the cable connection is not in the liquid). Allow cell to soak for at least 5-10 mintues. 8) You will notice a fizzing or fogging effect inside the cell once the solution has made contact with the titanium cell, this is normal. The solution should completely cover the titanium plates, and typically should be allowed to soak for no longer than 10 minutes. 9) Dispose of the solution and wash out any remaining debris. Heavy buildup may require multiple cleanings.
