FILL SPA
Before adding water, remove plug and insert your salt system cartridge. Using your garden hose, fill your spa through
the filter compartment until the water level reaches one inch (2.5 cm) above the highest jet.
If your fill water contains high levels of metal or calcium, use the FreshWater
On The Go
®
as required.
If you are using a FreshWater Mineral Spa Sanitizer silver ion cartridge along with the FreshWater Salt System, insert
it into the filter compartment now.

Silver ions help to inhibit bacteria growth and will lower the amount of chlorine needed to keep the water clean and
maintain the desired chlorine level.
Once the spa is filled with water, turn the power on (see spa Owner's Manual for specific instructions based on the
voltage of your hot tub). Set the temperature to your desired level (at least 95 degrees Fahrenheit) and turn off the
salt system by setting the output level to zero (recommended). Check your jet systems by pushing the jets icon on the
control panel home screen. When you've confirmed that the jets are fully operational, adjust your diverter valves to
middle position and leave the jets on for adding salt.
It's normal for the water care icon on the control panel and diagnostic logo light (if equipped) to flash during this
step if you choose not to turn your salt system off.
ADD SALT
To find the correct water capacity of your spa model, check the chart
in your spa Owner's Manual.
Make sure spa jets are on before adding salt. To avoid over salting
the water, start out by adding half the recommended amount of salt
noted on the chart to the right, using the scoop provided in your kit.
Pour the salt into the filter compartment, one cup at a time, with
3
the jets running. Allow five minutes for the salt to dissolve.
Use FreshWater Salt Test Strips to verify the salt level is around
1,750 ppm. Continue to add salt, one cup at a time, as needed to
reach the target level. Be careful to not exceed the recommended
target of 1,750 ppm.
