STEP 1 Use a large enough container, such as a
laundry tub or trash container, to hold one or
both cells.
NOTE: Sharp corners on the cells 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 cells. 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 cells 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 prefilters the same way. Empty
and rinse the wash container.
STEP 5 Rinse the cells and prefilters 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
cells and prefilters no longer feels slippery.
STEP 6 Soak cells and prefilters 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.
Use the hand sprayer at a coin-operated do-it-
yourself car wash to wash the cells. Hold the
nozzle at least two feet away from the unit to
avoid damage (such as broken ionizer wires or
bent collector plates) from the high pressure
stream of water. Follow the same sequence of
wash and rinse as recommended for cars.
However, do not wax the cells. Be sure to rinse
until the water draining from the cells no longer
feels slippery. Washing the cells
