Standby Mode (Not Making Chlorine) Standby Mode (Not Making Chlorine)
The SmarterSpa does not have a cycle time—instead, it turns on when needed. When the chlorine level The SmarterSpa does not have a cycle time—instead, it turns on when needed. When the chlorine level
is low, it will automatically start a chlorine generation cycle based on the selected power level. At the end is low, it will automatically start a chlorine generation cycle based on the selected power level. At the end
of that cycle, the SmarterSpa will turn off until the chlorine level drops again, waiting at least three hours of that cycle, the SmarterSpa will turn off until the chlorine level drops again, waiting at least three hours
in between cycles so as not to risk over-chlorination. While it is in standby mode, the White in between cycles so as not to risk over-chlorination. While it is in standby mode, the

Chlorine Voltage Chlorine Voltage
SmarterSpa measures the chlorine as a voltage, and that voltage indicates whether or not there is any SmarterSpa measures the chlorine as a voltage, and that voltage indicates whether or not there is any
chlorine in the first place, not necessarily how much there is. In other words, if the voltage is low enough, chlorine in the first place, not necessarily how much there is. In other words, if the voltage is low enough,
then that means the chlorine is gone; if the voltage is above that point, then there is chlorine. then that means the chlorine is gone; if the voltage is above that point, then there is chlorine.
If you were to measure chlorine with a test kit, you may get a reading of low or no chlorine. This is If you were to measure chlorine with a test kit, you may get a reading of low or no chlorine. This is
normal so long as the SmarterSpa starts generating chlorine within a few hours. It is also quite normal so long as the SmarterSpa starts generating chlorine within a few hours. It is also quite

Power Levels Power Levels
SmarterSpa includes ten power level settings, to accommodate for a variety of spa sizes and needs. SmarterSpa includes ten power level settings, to accommodate for a variety of spa sizes and needs.
Since the power output to the electrode is constant for the entire generation process, the power level Since the power output to the electrode is constant for the entire generation process, the power level
instead indicates how much time the SmarterSpa generates chlorine each time it turns on. The longer it instead indicates how much time the SmarterSpa generates chlorine each time it turns on. The longer it
runs, the more chlorine it adds to your spa. For example, the factory setting of 3 indicates that the runs, the more chlorine it adds to your spa. For example, the factory setting of 3 indicates that the
SmarterSpa will run for two hours per cycle. SmarterSpa will run for two hours per cycle.
