Chlorease help

[Poolsean]

I don't believe that the Chlorease is a self cleaning system, at least reading through the owners manual does not mention a self cleaning feature. This means you're at the mercy of maintaining balanced water, according to the saturation index. If not, you'll experience the scaling condition that you have. As Waterbear recommended, lower your Total Alkalinity to about 100 ppm, and maintain a lower pH to extend the period between manual acid washing of your cell.

This may be a completely retarted question BUT how do you lower your TA and Ph? I'm clueless!

Thanks!

Muriatic Acid and aeration. There are several posts on how to do this.
Basically, lower your pH to about 7.2, then reposition your return jets to the surface of the water so that it "churns" the water, thus aerating the water, which will lower your Total Alkalinity. However, you'll need to maintain a lower pH for the aeration to lower the alkalinity.

Hope this helps.
