Tips for Maintaining the Electrolytic Cell of Salt Chlorinators

Cleaning and maintaining the electrolytic cell of a salt chlorinator is essential for the proper functioning of salt chlorination. Over time, limescale deposits can accumulate and some wear can occur. That’s why it’s important to perform regular cell maintenance to ensure their efficiency and longevity.

• Prevent the buildup of dirt and scale.
• Extend the lifespan of the cell and the chlorinator.
• Maintain optimal chlorine production.
• Reduce the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs.

At Innowater, we can offer you some useful tips for maintaining your salt chlorinator cells and keeping them in the best possible condition:

• Inspect regularly: Examine the cell periodically to detect the presence of limescale or deposits. Consistent maintenance can prevent major problems in the long run.
• Turn off the system: Before handling the cell, make sure to turn off the pump and the salt chlorinator to avoid damage or injury.
• Disconnect the cell: Remove the cell from the salt chlorinator to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
• Let the cell dry: Allow the cell to dry for several days. This can help limescale deposits to come off on their own. You can tap the cell lightly to help loosen the deposits, but avoid using sharp objects that could damage it.
• Clean with hydrochloric acid: If limescale buildup persists, immerse the electrodes in a solution of hydrochloric acid diluted in water. This technique can help dissolve limescale deposits effectively.
• Rinse and dry: Once the limescale has come off, rinse the cell with clean water, dry the terminals, and reinstall it in the salt chlorinator.
