Goldline Salt Water Chlorine Generator Aqua Rite Turbo Cell T-CELL-15
The Turbo Cells automatically generate a self-renewing supply of fresh, pure chlorine for water that's clean, clear and luxuriously soft.
T-CELL-15 is for pools up to 40,000 gallon pools.
Servicing and Cleaning the Aqua Rite cell
Turn off power to the Aqua Rite before removing the electrolytic cell. Once removed,
look inside the cell and inspect for scale formation (light colored crusty or flaky deposits)
on the plates and for any debris which has passed through the filter and caught on
the plates. If no deposits are visible, reinstall. If deposits are seen, use a high pressure
garden hose and try to flush the scale off. If this is not successful, use a plastic or wood
tool (do not use metal as this will scratch the coating off the plates) and scrape deposits
off of plates. Note that a buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually high
calcium level in the pool (old pool water is usually the cause). If this is not corrected,
you may to have to periodically clean the cell. The simplest way to avoid this is to bring
the pool chemistry to the recommended levels as specified.
Mild Acid Washing: Use only in severe cases where flushing and scraping will not
remove the majority of deposits. To acid wash, turn off power to Aqua Rite. Remove cell
from piping. In a clean plastic container, mix a 4:1 solution of water to muriatic acid (one
gallon of water to one quart of muriatic acid). ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER -
NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and appropriate eye
protection. The level of the solution in the container should just reach the top of the cell
so that the wire harness compartment is NOT submerged. It may be helpful to coil the
wiring before immersing the cell. The cell should soak for a few minutes and then rinse
with a high pressure garden hose. If any deposits are still visible, repeat soaking and
rinsing. Replace cell and inspect again periodically.
Winterizing
The Aqua Rite electrolytic cell and flow detection switch will be damaged by freezing
water just as your pool plumbing would. In areas of the country which experience
severe or extended periods of freezing temperatures, be sure to drain all water from the
pump, filter, and supply and return lines before any freezing conditions occur. The
electronic control is capable of withstanding any winter weather and should not be
removed.
