1. Remove the cell from the line by undoing the electrical
connections from the Cell and the barrel unions from the cell ends.
2. Remove the black o-rings on the ends of the Cell.
3. Soak entire cell either in undiluted white distilled vinegar or in a
solution of diluted muriatic acid (10 parts water to 1 part muriatic
acid).
4. Wait for foaming to stop (5-10 minutes when using muriatic acid;
vinegar takes longer)
5. If muriatic acid was used, safely dispose of it by pouring it into
your pool.
6. Rinse cell with water hose.
7. Put the O-ring back in place and re-install the Cell in the line.
8. Reconnect the electrical wires, being sure to tighten the screws on
the electrical wires firmly.
Optional
1. Lubricating the o-rings with a rubber lubricant (e.g. silicone) helps improve the seal of the fittings, but
be sure not to use silicone glue, petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline), or other agents that could
deteriorate the o-rings.
2. Smear the two electrical connections on the outside of the cell with electrical lubricant.
