Finally, just what I was looking for! It’s amazing the manufactures can’t put a wiring diagram in the installation and Operating instructions! Especially, the back side of the cell with 3 wires!
Thank you for this! I just followed your step-by-step directions. Worked out great. Just a note for others: For me, it took between 8 - 9 minutes before the fizzing subsided.
You don’t need to take the electrode out just turn the whole housing upside down and pour the water/acid solution into the cell body. Much easier and less chance of leaks.
I like removing it as it only takes a second to remove and it allows me to spray water between the plates as I have hard water so it builds up quite hard. Have had little pieces remain even after soaking. They break right up with a wooden stick but wouldn’t dissolve completely with acid. That’s why I remove mine. If it was just light build up then I wouldn’t remove. But I can get thick buildup in just 2 months.
Just follow manufacturers recommendations. I prefer quick 2 mins with little more acid over less acid and longer soaks. Remember as soon as bubbles stop take it out and rinse with water.
This brand I have is basically a jacuzzi, made by same company. I bought a jacuzzi salt cell (plates) and I plugged it in to make sure it works. Works great so now it sits in a box ready whenever this one dies, but I expect several years out of it!
if you got a salt pool, i know the by product of turning salt water into chlorine is calcium hardness, does it increase your calcium hardness fast? or it takes years until it gets too high enough that it would require you to partial drain and fill?
I’m not exactly sure why it is for. Newer models don’t have the tube. It’s not electrical so it’s not a sensor. It may be used when cell is off to allow trapped gas on top of cell to escape or top of cell to be filled with water instead of the chlorine gas.
@@danielguerra4447 After looking at it closer one of the wires looks like it shorted and burned in half making me think it was cut. I wonder if I can replace the whole power cable?
You don’t even need to remove the cell at all disconnect the unions flip upside down pour the cleaning solution into the housing that’s how it’s designed. Australian made Astralpool product.
