Salt Water Chlorine Generator
by Mitch
I just opened my pool and looked inside the chlorine cell and there's alot of white crusty stuff. What is that and how would I clean it out? Thanks for your question Mitch What you probably have is calcium build-up on your chlorine generator. Swimming Pool Chlorine Generator Salt Water Swimming Pools What I do with the YMCA cell is to first remove it from the line. Plug up one end of the cell. If you don't have a plug you might be able to go to your local pool store and see if they have anything. I try to get as much debris and calcium build-up out of the cell as I can using a soft bristle brush. Then I mix water and muriatic acid, a 4:1 ratio, and pour that into the cell. Allow that to sit for about 5 minutes, pour the acid out and rinse the cell with clean water. Inspect inside the cell for any calcium build-up or debris and do the above again if necessary. I do this once per month but you might only need to do it a couple of times during your swimming season. Hope this help Robert |
