QT Series Cell Cleaning Instructions

CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION OF THE CELL TO THE POWER PACK 

In some situations, to make things easier and to gain access to the cell it may be necessary to disconnect the WATERMAID Cell from the Power Pack.

The WATERMAID Cell is connected via low voltage grey power cable to the terminal box of the power pack.

The cell wires must be connected polarity correct for the cell to work.

CLEANING THE QT300 / QT400 WATERMAID CELL

IN A PLASTIC OR GLASS CONTAINER, dilute one part Hydrochloric (muriatic) acid with ten parts of tap water (Hot Tap Water is more efficient)

WHEN MIXING, ADD ACID TO WATER, and
DO NOT MIX ACID AND WATER IN THE CELL.

Do not immerse the cell electrodes in a strong acid solution, as it may shorten the cell life and damage the electrodes.

Pour the dilute acid mixture into the cell.

When the effervescing stops inspect the cell and if still calcified up repeat the process.

Sometimes immersing the cell in the weak solution of acid OVER NIGHT may be necessary to remove all deposits thoroughly.

Rinse cell with water and insert back into the pipe work when finished.

FOR SOFT DEPOSITS  - Try Hosing out the Cell with a strong jet of Water. This will usually clean the cell sufficiently and cell cleaning with acid may be avoided. 

TO KEEP CELL DEPOSITS SOFT add 3 - 10 Kg of Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts) to the pool water every 6 Months.
