ChlorSync Salt Chlorine Generator
ChemSync Water Chemistry Controller
Your AutoPilot® chlorinator is designed to automatically self-clean calcium scale build up that may form on the blades during normal operation. However, unbalanced water chemistry can cause a heavy scale build up exceeding self-cleaning capabilities. Periodic manual cleaning may be necessary. The simplest way to avoid this extra work is to maintain the water chemistry to ensure balanced water conditions, according to the Saturation Index. See “Using the Saturation Index“
White, flaky or crusty calcium build up on the edge or between the blades will shorten the life of the cell. If required, clean the cell immediately and determine the cause of scaling.
A small amount of scale accumulation is normal, but if your cell shows excessive scaling on a regular basis, it is recommended to inspect the cell every two (2) weeks and clean as appropriate. In areas where there is high water hardness, more frequent visual inspection and cleaning may be needed.
How to Clean a ChlorSync® Cell:
CHLORSYNC GEN I
WARNING – Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.
- CHEMICAL HAZARD – To avoid damaging splashes, always add acid to water, never water to acid. Wear safety glasses and use other appropriate personal protection equipment.
CAUTION – Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
- Scraping or scratching the titanium blade’s edge or surface will damage the blade catalyst coating and cause premature failure of the cell. The warranty will be voided. Never use any sharp or metallic objects to remove scale.
- Turn off the water circulation pump.
- Power off the ChlorSync® power center and disconnect the cell from the power center.
- Remove cell from plumbing.
- Remove any loose scale with a garden hose using a high-pressure attachment.
- Place the AutoPilot® Acid Wash Kit part #STK0227 on the end of the cell as shown and hand tighten.
- Fill the capped cell with water two inches from the top of the cell blades.
- Fill the rest of the cell with muriatic acid, being careful not to allow solution to overflow onto the outside of the cell. This allows for an approximate 1-to-4 solution. Always add the acid to the water. If you do it the other way around, it may cause the solution to spray back, causing serious injury.
- If solution does spill over onto the outside of the cell, rinse with water immediately.
- Sulfuric and no fume acid do not give favorable results and are not recommended.
- Allow the solution to sit in the cell for fifteen (15) minutes or until the acid stops bubbling.
- Safely dispose of the solution; pouring it into the pool is recommended.
- Remove the cap from the cell and rinse with light water pressure; re-inspect the cell, and repeat acid cleaning if the cell is still scaled.
CHLORSYNC GEN II
WARNING – Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.
- CHEMICAL HAZARD – To avoid damaging splashes, always add acid to water, never water to acid. Wear safety glasses and use other appropriate personal protection equipment.

- Power off the ChlorSync® Gen II power center and disconnect the cell from the power center.
- Remove cell from plumbing.
- Remove any loose scale with a garden hose using a high-pressure attachment.
- Place the AutoPilot® Acid Wash Kit part #PLA0113 on the end of the cell as shown and hand tighten.
- Fill the capped cell with water two inches from the top of the cell blades.
- Fill the rest of the cell with muriatic acid, being careful not to allow solution to overflow onto the outside of the cell. This allows for an approximate 1-to-4 solution. Always add the acid to the water. If you do it the other way around, it may cause the solution to spray back, causing serious injury.

- Safely dispose of the solution; pouring it into the pool is recommended.
- Remove the cap from the cell and rinse with light water pressure; re-inspect the cell, and repeat acid cleaning if the cell is still scaled.
- When the cleaning process is complete, re-connect the cell to the plumbing and re-power the unit. Check for leaks and proper operation.
Your ChlorSync is indicating you need to reset your unit. Please reset the breaker for the unit to see if that clears your message. If not, check that the cord is properly connected to the port at the bottom of the power center. Inspect the cell cord for breaks or visible damage. If the error is still displayed, it is possible you have scale build up on your cell causing this error.
