Aqua Products Auto-Chlor AC-6000 - Manual (Page 15)

M A I N T E N A N C E
Maintaining your Auto-Chlor Chlorine Generator requires minimal work but will maximize the
performance and life of the system.
POOL WATER TESTING: Pool water should be tested weekly.
Cell Maintenance
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 technologies, including reverse
polarization and IBT™ help the cell stay cleaner than other self-cleaning cells.
Cell Cleaning
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.
Cleaning With Optional Cleaning Cap:
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. Attach the Cell Cleaning Cap to one end of cell.
4. Pour into Cell, either undiluted white distilled vinegar, or a solution of diluted muriatic acid (10 parts
water to 1 part muriatic acid).
5. Wait for foaming to stop (5-10 minutes when using muriatic acid, vinegar takes longer).
6. If muriatic acid was used, safely dispose of it by pouring it into your pool.
7. Rinse cell with water hose.
8. Put the O-ring back in place and re-install the Cell in the line.
9. Reconnect the electrical wires, being sure to tighten the screws on the electrical wires firmly.
