Cleaning POOL FROG® Mineral Hybrid Cell

Our clear cell allows for easy regular inspections for calcium build up. Visually check the cell periodically, and clean it as necessary (1 to 2 times per year). Advanced self-cleaning with shake plates helps the cell stay cleaner than other self-cleaning cells, but minimal biannual cleanings are required.

Do not use metal or other hard objects to clean the cell as this could scratch the precious coating on the plates and void the warranty.

CAUTION: Always add acid to water, NOT water to acid. Diluted muriatic acid solution = 10 parts water to 1 part acid. Note: Follow the instructions of the acid manufacturer.

CAUTION: Always use protective eyewear and protective clothing.Cleaning With Optional Cleaning Cap:

1.Before removing cell, turn off power to pump and control panel of generator. Make sure to note in which direction the cell was installed so it can be replaced correctly.

2.Remove the cell from the line by undoing the electrical connections from the cell and the barrel unions from the cell ends.

3.Remove the black o-rings on

the ends of the cell.

4.Attach the cell Cleaning Cap to one end of cell.

5.Put on rubber gloves and goggles.

6.Pour into cell, either undiluted white distilled vinegar, or a solution of diluted muriatic acid (10 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid).

7.Wait for foaming to stop (5-10 minutes when using muratic acid – vinegar takes longer).

8.Safely dispose of muratic acid by pouring it into your pool only. If using vinegar dispose of by pouring down your kitchen drain.

9.Rinse cell with water hose. Avoid contact with skin or clothes.

10.Put the o-rings

back in place and re-install the cell in the line making sure the water flows into the square blue end of the cell first.

11.Reconnect the electrical wires, being sure to tighten

the screws on the electrical wires firmly. See cell wiring diagram.

CELL WIRING DIAGRAM

Optional

1.Lubricating the o-rings with the silicone lubricant that came with your POOL FROG® Mineral Hybrid 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.

Control Panel Maintenance

There is no regular maintenance required on the control panel other than checking that the wiring running from the control panel to the cell and flow sensor is securely in place. It is beneficial to keep the control panel clean, dry and out of the sun.
