When installing and operating this Product and other associated equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. WARNING ­ To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product. This Control must be installed by a qualified electrician, according to National and Local Electrical Codes. [. . . ] Before adding salt, it is advisable to have the salt level professionally checked. Page 15 Section 6. Maintenance/Cleaning Maintaining your I-Pure System requires minimal work but will maximize the performance and life of the system. NOTE: Pool water should be tested bi-monthly. Section 6. 1 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 IBTTM help the cell stay cleaner than other self-cleaning cells, but minimal biannual cleanings are required. Section 6. 2 Cell Cleaning NOTE 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. DANGER 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. Pour into cell, either undiluted white distilled vinegar, or a solution of diluted muriatic acid (5 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid). If muriatic acid was used, safely dispose of it by pouring it into your pool. Reconnect the electrical wires, being sure to tighten the screws on the electrical wires firmly. 5. Remove the cell from the line by undoing the electrical connections from the Cell and the barrel unions from the cell ends. Soak entire cell either in undiluted white distilled vinegar or in a solution of diluted muriatic acid (5 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid). 4) Wait for foaming to stop (5-10 minutes when using muriatic acid; vinegar takes longer). If muriatic acid was used, safely dispose of it by pouring it into your pool.

Smear the two electrical connections on the outside of the cell with electrical lubricant. 2. Page 17 Section 6. 3 Understanding The Chemistry Below is a table showing the recommended balance levels followed by a more detailed explanation of the factors affecting water chemistry. Maintaining these levels will prevent corrosion and scaling and will ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. If the water chemistry needs adjustment, your authorized dealer or most pool stores can supply you with the appropriate chemicals and procedures. We recommend you either take a copy of the Water Balance Table to the pool store or notify the pool store that you are using a salt chlorine generator.
