hot tub less frequently, it is important that you lower the output level.
If the chlorine level is too high:
• Check output level. You may need to decrease the output level to a lower
number.
• Reduce chlorine. Add 240ml (1 cup ) hydrogen peroxide with jets running.
Check chlorine level after 10 minutes and repeat as needed.
• Consult your dealer about changing the internal system output level.
Tips
• Calcium Hardness: Use the FreshWater Vanishing Act Calcium Remover
to keep total calcium hardness levels low and minimize the need for
anti-scalant & metal control. An On The Go portable water softener is
recommended for high calcium hardness areas.
• Heavy Use: Initiate a Boost cycle a few hours prior to heavy use.
Periodically test the chlorine and add chlorine as needed.
• MPS Use: Granular Monopersulfate (MPS) can be used in place of chlorine
to establish a sanitizer residual at start-up and for shocking the spa. Use
MPS test strips to measure MPS levels in the spa water if MPS is preferred.
NOTE: MPS and MPS test strips are sold separately.
• Metal Treatment: If metals are present, be sure to discuss this with your
dealer. Use FreshWater Vanishing Act Calcium Remover and Stain and
Scale control for 24 hours before adding chlorine or turning the system on.
Excessive use of phosphate anti-scalant will promote high phosphate levels,
which can cause scale and weaken chlorine output.
• Ozone: Ozone is not recommended with the FreshWater Salt System.
• Phosphates: High levels of phosphates (above 300 ppb) may cause
reduced sanitizer output. Ask your local dealer to help you test for
phosphates.
• Salt Level: Salt is not reduced during sanitizer production. The salt level
is only reduced by adding water to the spa. Using the spa and adding
chemicals will increase the salt level over time.
• Salt Buildup: Periodically hose off your spa, spa steps, and the deck or
concrete surrounding your spa after use to prevent salt buildup that can
occur from splash-out.
• Summer Timer: The Summer Timer mode will decrease the chlorine
generation time of the system. If the Summer Timer is activated, the output
level will most likely need to be increased to compensate. If chlorine level is
low, adjust output level up by one each day until 3-5 ppm is maintained. Add
chlorine to compensate.
• Water Changes: The FreshWater Salt System reduces the amount of
chemicals needed to add to your spa water. You can extend the life of your
spa, up to 12 months, with proper water care. Test your water regularly to
ensure it is properly balanced and safe.
