8. With protective glasses and gloves on, add one
(1) part muriatic acid to ten (10) parts water and
mix.
9. Fill the cell to the top of the electrode plates
with the acid solution. A foaming action will
begin, which is caused by scale (calcium
carbonate) being dissolved from the plates.
If rigorous foaming action does not begin,
the cell does not need to be cleaned (STOP
THE CLEANING PROCESS - go to the step
10). Otherwise allow the cell to remain in
the solution until the foaming has stopped
(approximately 5 - 10 minutes).
10. After the cell has been cleaned, dispose of the
solution by pouring it into the pool water or
dispose of according to local regulations.
11. Rinse the cell thoroughly with clean tap water
and inspect. If deposits are still visible on the
electrolytic cell, repeat step 9.
nOTE Excessive acid washing will damage the electrolytic
cell. Do not leave in acid for more than thirty (30)
minutes.
12. If the cell is clean, reattach the cell as described
in Section 3.3.
The life expectancy of the electrolytic cell is 10,000
hours under normal use conditions. When replacing
the cell, use only replacement cells having a label
that clearly states that it is a replacement cell for the
chlorine generating device Zodiac AquaPure Ei Series
APURE35PLGC, REGISTRATION NUMBER 30233,
PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ACT.
6.4 Winterizing
nOTE Do not use Ethylene Glycol (anti-freeze) in the
system.
Very little chlorine is needed in cold water. Operating
the chlorinator below 11°C (51°F) is not recommended.
Operating the chlorinator in cold water can shorten the
life of the cell
If preventative measures are not taken, freezing water
may cause severe damage to the cell. Prevent freeze
damage to the cell by running pump continuously or
winterize pool by draining water from pump, filter, and
all intake and return lines. Remove the cell, clean and
store it indoors. Coil the cell leads, wrap in plastic and
tape to the power pack.

Winterizing caps are included with this product to
replace the cell during winterizing or cell maintenance.
This will enable pool pump to circulate water with the
cell out of the line.
During the cold season, if you are using a FREEZE
CONTROLLER on pump equipment and you choose
to keep the chlorinator installed, turn the CHLORINE
PRODUCTION down to 20%, otherwise, chlorine
production will exceed the recommended level of 1 - 3
ppm.
6.4.1
Disconnect power to the system at the main circuit
breaker before performing this procedure to avoid risk
of electric shock which can result in property damage,
severe injury or death.

Ensure that all power to the power pack and
the controller is disconnected/turned off at the
circuit breaker.
Shut off any necessary valves to prevent any

Open the air relief valve to release any pressure
in the pool system.
Remove the terminal cap and cell leads.
Undo the locking ring. If required, use the
locking ring tool provided (see Figure 27).
Remove the cell (see Figure 28).
Attach the winterizing cap (see Figure 30).
