Electrode Lifespan Indicator Electrode Lifespan Indicator
This feature tracks the amount of time the SmarterSpa electrode has been actively producing chlorine. This feature tracks the amount of time the SmarterSpa electrode has been actively producing chlorine.
The typical lifespan of the electrode is 7000 hours of chlorine generation. To view the lifespan: The typical lifespan of the electrode is 7000 hours of chlorine generation. To view the lifespan:

Here is how to read values from the unit lights: Here is how to read values from the unit lights:
• • Green Green ( (Salt High Salt High) = 100
• • Blue ( Blue ( Salt OK Salt OK) = 10
• • Red ( Red (Salt Low Salt Low) = 1
