STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4 STEP 5 STEP 6 STEP 7 Washing the cells at a car wash Use a large enough container, such as a laundry tub or trash container, to hold one or both cells. NOTE: Sharp corners on the cells can scratch the surface of a bathtub. Dissolve about 3/4 cup of automatic dishwasher detergent per cell in enough hot water to cover the cells. If the detergent does not dissolve readily, or forms a scum on the water, try another brand, or use softened water. After the detergent has completely dissolved, place the cells in the container and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Agitate them up and down a few times, and remove. Next, wash the prefilters the same way. Empty and rinse the wash container. Rinse the cells and prefilters with a hard spray of very hot water; rinse the tub clean, then fill the tub with clean hot water and soak for 5 to 15 minutes. Rinse until the water draining from the cells and prefilters no longer feels slippery. Soak cells and prefilters in a final clear water rinse for 10 minutes. Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the end of the cell using your thumb and forefinger with a small, damp cloth. Use the hand sprayer at a coin-operated do-ityourself car wash to wash the cells. Hold the nozzle at least two feet away from the unit to avoid damage (such as broken ionizer wires or bent collector plates) from the high pressure stream of water. Follow the same sequence of wash and rinse as recommended for cars. However, do not wax the cells. Be sure to rinse until the water draining from the cells no longer feels slippery. 11 69-0764-2
