STEP 1 | Use a large enough container, such as a |
| laundry tub or trash container, to hold one or |
| both cell(s). |
| NOTE: Sharp corners on the cell(s) can scratch |
| the surface of a bathtub. |
STEP 2 | Dissolve about 3/4 cup of automatic dishwasher |
| detergent per cell in enough hot water to cover |
| the cell(s). If the detergent does not dissolve |
| readily, or forms a scum on the water, try |
| another brand, or use softened water. |
STEP 3 | After the detergent has completely dissolved, |
| place the cell(s) in the container and let soak for |
| 15 to 20 minutes. Agitate them up and down a |
| few times, and remove. |
STEP 4 | Next, wash the prefilter(s) the same way. Empty |
| and rinse the wash container. |
STEP 5 | Rinse the cell(s) and prefilter(s) with a hard |
| spray of very hot water; rinse the tub clean, |
| then fill the tub with clean hot water and soak |
| for 5 to 15 minutes. Rinse until the water |
| draining from the cell(s) and prefilter(s) no |
| longer feels slippery. |
STEP 6 | Soak cell(s) and prefilter(s) in a final clear water |
| rinse for 10 minutes. |
STEP 7 | Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the |
| end of the cell using your thumb and forefinger |
| with a small, damp cloth. |
