Regular maintenance of the Aligator electrodes is key to a well-performing system.
The electrodes in the Aligator system are composed of an alloy containing silver, copper and zinc. Silver kills bacteria, copper kills algae, and the addition of zinc broadens the killing range to include black algae, which is especially common in warmer climates.
Particulate matter from the water may be attracted to the electrodes. These deposits are soft and porous and are easily removed by wiping with a soft cloth shortly after installation.
With proper pool maintenance, the Aligator electrodes should last up to 18 months.
The electrodes are electroplated with fine silver and individually packaged in soft tissue for protection. Replacing the electrodes is quick and easy. Full instructions can be found in the Aligator Operations Manual
Replacement electrodes are unique to Aligator. Please contact an approved Aligator dealer to order.
