How often will an SG Series system need cleaning and how is it done?
The SG Series is a low maintenance system; the cell reverses polarity every six hours of operation and that process will dislodge most scaling (calcium build up). How often a system will need to be manually cleaned is directly related to the hardness of your pool water. The good news is that the SG series cell is independent of the visible cell housing, and unlike most other salt systems, is easily inspected while it is operating. If there is calcium buildup on the cell, just turn off power to the pump timer and the control center, unscrew the cell cap and remove the cell from the housing. Proceed to knock off all scaling with the SGS Magic Wand (a flat wood paint stirring stick) that is accompanies each system; there is no need to use the acid/water solution required by most other salt systems, which is cumbersome at best and when misused will negatively impact the longevity of the cell! Once the scaling is removed, return the cell to the housing, turn the power on and you’re good to
