1.0 Installation
1.1 Generic Replacement Cell Installation
To install the generic replacement cell for your Aqua Pure or other
compatible saltwater chlorinator system, follow this procedure.
1.1.1 Turn power to the filter pump and chlorinator system off.
1.1.2 The Compu Pool GRC comes complete with a built in DC cell cable.
The old cell cable will need to be disconnected from the circuit board
in the power module. To do this remove the front cover off the power
module and disconnect the two connectors for the cell cable. Pull the
old cable out of the power module and replace with the new cable,
push on the two connectors to the circuit board firmly.
1.1.3 Remove the old cell from its position in the plumbing by loosening the
union collars on both ends of the cell. Also remove the
Flow/Temp/Salinity sensor by loosening the third collar.
1.1.4 Inspect the o-rings on the two unions and the sensor, if they are
damaged or worn they should be replaced before installing the new
replacement cell. If they are dry apply a suitable o-ring lubricant.
1.1.5 Position the new replacement cell within the plumbing area. Tighten
the two union collars BY HAND for a watertight seal. Over-tightening
with tools may damage the unions or the replacement cell.
1.1.6 Install the Flow/Temp/Salinity sensor into the new cell and tighten the
collar. The sensor will have a slightly firmer fit in the new cell, this is
normal and is to ensure a watertight fitting. The Compu Pool GRC
does not have keyways in the cell ports, they are not required.
1.1.7 The power to the filter pump and chlorinator system can now be turned
on.
1.1.8 The chlorinator system can now be operated as instructed in the
manufacturers installation and operation manual.

2.0 Maintenance
2.1 Cell Maintenance
To maintain optimal cell performance, it is recommended the cell is
visually inspected every 3 months or after cleaning your filter.
The electrolytic cell has a self cleaning feature incorporated in the
controller system. In most cases this self cleaning action will keep the
cell working at optimum efficiency. In some areas where the water is
hard (high mineral content) and in pools where the water chemistry
has been allowed to get "out of balance", the cell may require periodic
cleaning.
2.2 Procedure for Inspecting a Cell
2.2.1 Turn power to the filter pump and chlorinator system off.
2.2.2 Conduct a visual inspection of the cell plates through the translucent
blue housing.
2.2.3 If further inspection is required remove the cell from its position in the
plumbing by loosening the unions on both ends of the cell.
2.2.4 Look into both ends of the cell. A clean cell with have no white
deposits on the plastic baffles or the metal plates. A dirty cell with have
white chalky deposits which limit the flow of water through the cell.
2.2.5 If the cell is dirty follow the cleaning procedures, otherwise re-install
the cell.
2.3 Procedure for Cleaning a Cell
2.3.1 Turn power to the filter pump and chlorinator system off.
2.3.2 Remove the cell from its position in the plumbing by loosening the
unions on both ends of the cell.
2.3.3 With the cell removed use a high pressure hose nozzle to spray off as
much loose scale and debris as possible.

2.3.4 Do not use any sharp or metallic objects to remove scale. Scraping or
scratching the cell plate's edge or surface will allow chemical attack of
the plate, cause premature failure of the cell and will void the warranty.
2.3.5 If further cleaning is required the cell needs to be cleaned in a mixture
of one (1) part Hydrochloric (Muriatic) Acid into four (4) parts water
(always add acid to the water). When using the acid ensure to use
rubber gloves and appropriate eye protection.
2.3.6 Plug the two adjacent ports with the blanking caps provided from the
manufacturer. Use the appropriate blanking caps on the ports, do not
use the sensor as damage can result.
2.3.7 Fill the cell with the acid solution. Clean the cell until the foaming
action stops (typically 5 to 10 minutes). Rinse the cell with fresh water
and re-install into the plumbing line.
