I installed s brand new UL40 last summer. The unit has been generating a little bit of chlorine 24/7 since then. About a month ago the cell maintenance light started flashing. When I remove the cell, I don't see any build-up (see attached pictures). Still I feel like I have tried everything to clean the cell with water (waterpick, garden hose), but the light is still flashing. Does this mean it is time to soak the cel in some chemicals?
Is my CircuPool UL40 cell really need Muriatic Acid?

A,
Don't clean it unless you can see it!!!
Something else is the issue.
Let's see if we can get some of our CircuPool SWCG owners to step up with some ideas...
Thanks,

Well we don’t recommend you clean the cell unnecessarily but the manual seems to insist on it…
Forget the manual, our Pentair cells say it right on them......
From said Circupool manual tho....
on Hayward swg, that light actives every x hours regardless of whether the cell needs cleaning. I imagine its the same for most other brands of swg.
trivetman is correct.... I have the Circupool UL55, the cell maintenance light comes on every 500 hours (if I'm not mistaken) and all you have to do is inspect the cell to see if it needs to be clean or not. Press and hold down the system status button and the flashing will stop.
