TEST FILL WATER
Power must always be OFF when spa is empty.
Before filling your spa, take a sample of your fill water to your local dealer for
testing to determine if your water contains high levels of metals, phosphates, and/or
calcium. If high levels are detected, your dealer can recommend additional products
to help bring your fill water into balance. Starting with balanced water is key to the
success of clean, long-lasting water with the FreshWater® Salt System.

Metals - Using well water or have high metal content in your water? Iron and manganese
should be below 0.5 ppm and copper should be below 0.2 ppm. If metals are present
in the water, they must be removed before startup of the FreshWater Salt System. It is
strongly recommended to fill your spa using the FreshWater Clean Screen® Pre-Filter.
FreshWater Stain and Scale Defense can also be used following instructions on the
bottle.
If you have used liquid products to remove metals from your spa water, you must
clean your filters and wait 24 hours after treatment before turning the salt system
on or adding any chlorine.
