When installing and operating this Product and other associated equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. DO NOT OPEN THE GENERATOR BOX ­ NOT A SERVICABLE UNIT 2. Disconnect all AC power before installation. [. . . ] Soak entire cell either in undiluted white distilled vinegar or in a solution of diluted muriatic acid (5 parts water to 1 part muriatic acid). 4) Wait for foaming to stop (5-10 minutes when using muriatic acid; vinegar takes longer). If muriatic acid was used, safely dispose of it by pouring it into your pool. Put the O-ring back in place and re-install the Cell in the line. Reconnect the electrical wires, being sure to tighten the screws on the electrical wires firmly. Lubricating the o-rings with a rubber lubricant (e. g. silicone) helps improve the seal of the fittings, but be sure not to use silicone glue, petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline), or other agents that could deteriorate the o-rings. Smear the two electrical connections on the outside of the cell with electrical lubricant. 2. Page 17 Section 6. 3 Understanding The Chemistry Below is a table showing the recommended balance levels followed by a more detailed explanation of the factors affecting water chemistry. Maintaining these levels will prevent corrosion and scaling and will ensure maximum enjoyment of the pool. You should test your water periodically. If the water chemistry needs adjustment, your authorized dealer or most pool stores can supply you with the appropriate chemicals and procedures. We recommend you either take a copy of the Water Balance Table to the pool store or notify the pool store that you are using a salt chlorine generator.
