How do I install the Pool Pilot Cell?

Product Installation:
Your Pool Pilot System is adaptable for use with either the SC-36, SC-48 or SC-60 residential cell.The SuperCell can be easily replaced, simply unplug the wiring cable and turn the two unions to remove, install the new cell, tighten unions and insert plug. 

Product Service and Maintenance:
The Cell is installed with Unions on each end of the cell to allow quick and easy removal. Loosen the unions and remove the cell from the plumbing.

Visual Cell Inspection:
The titanium Cell blades, seen inside the Cell body, should be straight and clear of any debris between the blades.
Your Pool Pilot is designed to automatically self-clean calcium scale build up within the Cell. This is seen as a white flaky or crusty build-up on the edges or between the blades and will pre-maturely deplete the life of the cell. Certain conditions can cause a heavier scale build up that exceeds the self-cleaning capability and would need to be cleaned manually by the method described below.

We recommend using Lo-Chlor Salt Cell Protector Plus as a preventive additive to help soften and reduce the build-up of scale deposits in the cell. Lo-Chlor also reduces scale on exposed aggregate and new pool finishes and enhances chlorine production.

Manual Cell Cleaning:
With the Cell removed as described above, use a high-pressure hose nozzle to spray off as much loose scale and debris as possible.
Any remaining calcium scale can be treated with a mixture of one (1) part Muriatic Acid into four (4) parts water.
Mix the solution in a pail, high enough to cover the Cell blades.
Remove the Cell cord and immerse the Cell so that the blades are completely covered in the solution for no more than 15 minutes intervals.
Drain and flush with fresh water and re-inspect.
Repeat the immersion if necessary.

CAUTION: ALWAYS ADD ACID TO WATER, never water to acid.
NEVER USE ANY SHARP OBJECTS TO REMOVE SCALE. Scraping or scratching the titanium blade’s edge or surface will allow chemical attack of the blade and cause premature failure of the Cell and will void your warranty.

Filter Backwashing: We recommend turning off the circuit breaker on the Professional when backwashing the circulation.
