Cell cleaning frequency is dependent on several factors. pH and calcuim levels in the water are two that have the greatest effect on how often the cell requires cleaning.

Maintaining pH at the levels recommended levels should result in cell cleaning 3 - 4 times a year in areas with hard water. Cells will require less frequent cleaning in soft water areas.

The cell requires maintenance when the "Inspect Cells" light is either flashing or is on solid and the salt level is confirmed to be above 2500 parts per million.

Read through ALL instruction Before cleaning cell.

Procedure for inspecting a TurboCell

1. Turn power to filter pump and Aquarite off.
2. Remove the AquaRite TurboCell from its position in the plumbing by loosening the unions on both ends of the cell.
3. Look into both ends of the cell. A clean cell will have no white deposits on the plastic baffles or the metal plates. A dirty cell will have white chalky deposits which will limit the flow of water through the cell.
4. If the cell is dirty, follow the cleaning procedures, otherwise re-install cell.

Procedure for cleaning a TurboCell

1. Turn power to filter pump and AquaRite off.
2. Remove the AquaRite TurboCell from its position in the plumbing by loosening the unions on both ends of the cell.
3. Place TurboCell in a 5 gallon plastic bucket.
4. Fill TurboCell with a solution of muriatic acid and water (2 parts water, 1 part acid). Note: Add acid to water, NEVER add water to acid. Muriatic acid is very corrosive - FOLLOW care instructions on container!
5. Let the water acid mixture remain in the cell until foaming action stops (typically 5 to 15 minutes).
6. Once the foaming action stops, empty the cell.
7. Re-inspect cell. Repeat cleaning process if necessary.
8. Rinse cell with fresh water and replace in plumbing line. Hand tighten unions before restoring power to filter pump.

IMPORTANT:
You may re-use the water acid mixture multiple times.
Follow chemical manufacturers recommendations when storing or disposing of the water acid solution.
