How to choose cleaners and descalers
- Chlorinator cell with scale: Netcel or CTX-35, formulated to remove scale without attacking the electrodes. First check which products the manufacturer of your salt chlorinator allows.
- Stainless steel ladders, handrails and showers: first the 604 polish and then the 605 brightener, as AstralPool advises. Spare parts are in pool ladders and showers.
- Greasy edges: the 11426 degreaser, which according to AstralPool contains no surfactants and does not foam if it falls into the water. For the water itself, see our algaecides and clarifiers and chlorine and pH correctors.
Applications
- Cleaning the chlorinator cell when closing or opening the season.
- Getting stainless steel ladders and showers ready before summer.
- Daily hygiene of changing rooms and showers in community pools.

Frequently asked questions
Can any acid clean the cell?
It is not advisable. Use a cleaner formulated not to attack the electrodes, such as Netcel or CTX-35, and check your chlorinator manufacturer's instructions first.
604 or 605 first?
The 604 polish. According to AstralPool, it is step 1 and removes scale and deposits; then the 605 brightener (step 2) restores the shine to the steel.
Does the degreaser foam in the water?
No. According to AstralPool, it contains no surfactants, so it does not foam if it falls into the water by accident.
Choose the cleaner for the part you want to look after and see the rest of our pool chemicals: a scale-free cell produces better.
