SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Visual Inspection of the SuperCell

Remove the SuperCell from the Manifold Assembly following the directions in the previous section. The SuperCell titanium blades, seen inside the cell body, should be straight and clear of any debris on the ends or between the blades. A white flaky or crusty calcium build-up on the edge or between the blades will shorten the

life of the cell. Clean the cell immediately and determine the cause of scaling. See Troubleshooting Section, pgs. 44-49.

Your Pool Pilot Digital is designed to automatically self-clean calcium scale build-up that may form on the blade. However, unbalanced water chemistry can cause a heavier scale build up that exceeds the self-cleaning capability thus requiring periodic manual cleaning. The simplest way to avoid this problem is to bring the pool chemistry to the levels recommended

in Basic Water Chemistry on pg. 7.

Manual Cleaning of the SuperCell

•Follow the directions to remove cell on pg. 41.

Scraping or scratching the titanium blade’s edge or surface will damage the blade catalyst ! WARNING coating and cause premature failure of the cell and will void your warranty. Never use any

sharp or metallic objects to remove scale.

! WARNING To avoid damaging splashes, ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER, never water to acid.

•Use a high-pressure hose nozzle to spray off as much loose scale and debris as possible.

•To remove calcium scale buildup, mix one (1) part Muriatic Acid into four (4) parts water. Mix the solution in a container high enough to cover the cell blades.

•Immerse the cell so that the blades are completely covered in the solution for up to 15 minutes. An effervescing action indicates the calcium is being dissolved off the blades.

•Drain the cell.

•Rinse with fresh water.

•Re-inspect. Repeat the immersion if necessary.

•Rinse and dry the electrical terminal contacts on the SuperCell thoroughly to eliminate all traces of acid or residue before installing the cell.

Installation of the Cell

•Clean and dry the electrical terminals on the SuperCell. The contacts must be completely dry to avoid corrosion and failure of the SuperCell or cable.

•Ensure that the union O-rings are firmly in place, then slide the SuperCell into the manifold with the cell terminals located at the bottom of the manifold as illustrated in the picture of the manifold in Low voltage wiring on pg. 15.

 

! WARNING

 

If the cell is improperly installed upside down, water from rain or other sources may enter

 

 

the cable contacts and result in failure of the SuperCell and void your warranty.

 

 

•Tighten the unions by hand for a watertight seal.

•The SuperCell will have either 2 or 3 electrical terminals. The SuperCell cable may have a red weather plug located in one of the holes.

•If the SuperCell has three (3) electrical contact terminals then the red weather plug should be removed and discarded. Align the cable and terminals and connect them together. An illustration of the cable is in Connecting the SuperCell Cable on pg. 15.

•If the SuperCell has two (2) electrical contact terminals, then the red weather plug will seal the unused contact in the cable. Position the SuperCell plug so that the two open holes align with the two mating terminals and connect them together.

•Turn on the system.

•Check for leaks and proper operation of the system.
