4. Add chlorine as directed on the bottle to create a chlorine residual of
5 ppm. Allow jets to run for five minutes per jet system, rotating diverter valves.
It is very important that you shock the spa water with chlorine at start-up.
Skipping this step can prevent the system from establishing a chlorine residual.
NOTE: Shock is a process of adding significant doses of a quick-dissolving chlorine
to oxidize non-filterable organic waste and to remove chloramines and bromamines.
5. Reduce calcium hardness if needed.
Use FreshWater Vanishing Act Calcium Remover. The standard-size FreshWater
Vanishing Act Calcium Remover (included) can remove up to 100 ppm of calcium
hardness from spa water after the hot tub has been filled, or after the spa has
been topped off. The larger FreshWater Vanishing Act Calcium Remover XL (sold
separately) can remove up to 300 ppm. Follow FreshWater Vanishing Act Calcium
Remover label instructions and reference your spa Owner's Manual.
6. Set output level. Access the FreshWater Salt System menu by following the spa
Owner's Manual instructions. Within the system screen, you can easily verify the
Salt System
system status, test the system, adjust the output level, or activate a system Boost.

Test spa water with a FreshWater 5-Way Test Strip.
1. Adjust alkalinity and pH as needed.
2.
If calcium hardness is above the initial target of 50 ppm, use a new FreshWater
Vanishing Act Calcium Remover and repeat process to soften the water.
3. Add chlorine to the water to achieve a chlorine level of 3 ppm. Repeat this as
needed until your test strip shows that the system is sustaining a minimum of
3 ppm residual of chlorine in the water.
•
If there is no measurable amount of chlorine in the spa water after
24 hours, the system is still cleaning the water. Increase the output level
as needed. It may take the system a few days to clean the spa water and
keep up with your chlorine demand.
