Most manufacturers use the jets pumps to do two jobs; filter the water on low speed and move water to the jets on high speed. We at Clearwater Spas believes it’s more important to dedicate a pump to 24/7 water filtration. Every Clearwater Spa includes a 24/7 circulation pump.
QUICK START GUIDE Items included with CLEAR: • Copper testing Kit • Four-in-one Test strips (alkaline, pH, calcium and chlorine) • Bacteria test kit • Bottle of Alkaline Up, pH Up, and pH Down • Spa chlorine granulars FIRST VISIT (1st Day): 1.

Your spa comes with an ozone system (an oxidizer) which burns up organic material (body oil, urine, etc.). Potassium Monopersulfate (spa shock) may also be needed as an oxidizer if bather load is unusually heavy. Two ounces of spashock for every 6-8 people or 6-8 uses is recommended.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS Caution: This system must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This system is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.

7. Replace this part of the pipe with the tee and fasten with standard PVC primer and glue 8. Mount the controller with the screws provided on a suitable surface. 9. Connect cable from mineral cell into the controller. 10. Use your hand to turn the cell clockwise into the tee until it is secure. To ensure even wearing of electrodes, tighten the cell so that so water flows between the two metal prongs.
THE DIGITAL DISPLAY Ionizing When the “Ionizing” light is illuminating, it confirms that the system is ionizing the water. To illuminate, the electrodes must be fully submersed in water, and current must be flowing from the electrodes into the water. The more ions that are being released into the water, the faster the light will blink.

Perfect+PHOSfree can maintain. It is important to reduce/eliminate the source of the phosphates for Pool Perfect+PHOSfree to work properly. If possible, prevent runoff from gardens and lawns from entering the spa. Remove leaves from the spa regularly and promptly. 9. You may need to add a clarifier or flocculent if you see cloudy water or fine particles in the water which the filter cannot catch.
CLEANING & CARE Mineral Cell Electrodes: Some deposits may form on the electrodes depending on the water conditions. Clean the flat face of the electrodes using a smooth metal file and some water. The surface does not have to be polished; simply remove any traces of oxidization and other sediments.
