Pro-Matic cell comparison
| Part number | Compatible equipment | Equipment output |

The two part numbers correspond to different cells. Do not choose a replacement based only on its external appearance.
When should the cell be replaced?
The cell is the component where salt water electrolysis takes place to generate the system's disinfectant. Its electrodes can wear out with use.
Before replacing it, check the salinity, the condition of the electrodes, water circulation and any chlorinator alerts. Insufficient output alone does not prove that the cell is depleted.
Maintenance and self-cleaning
The Pro-Matic system uses polarity reversal to help reduce scale deposits on the electrodes.
Self-cleaning does not eliminate the need to periodically check the condition of the cell and the water conditions. For any cleaning or disassembly, follow the manufacturer's instructions with the equipment switched off and disconnected.
Frequently asked question
Is the M0656FRA cell compatible with ESC 24 or ESC 36 chlorinators?
It should not be considered interchangeable. Part number M0656FRA is for the Pro-Matic ESC 16. ESC 24/36/40 models use part number M0657FRA.
What does this replacement part offer?
The M0656FRA cell lets you replace the electrolysis component of the Monarch Pro-Matic ESC 16 when it is worn, while keeping the existing control unit if it is still working correctly.
