NOTE: Do not use the spa until metal treatment is complete and chlorine is added.
System Status OK (Yellow)
The system continues to generate chlorine and operate normally when status
reading is yellow. Monitor the following:
• Salt Level. High or low salt level will shift the status reading, high salt
(yellow right) or low salt (yellow left).
• Low water temperature will lower the status reading (yellow left).
• Dirty filter(s) will lower the status reading (yellow left).
• Cartridge wear will lower the status reading (yellow left).
System Status Low (Red Left)
The system status reading can be affected by cartridge age, scale buildup, cold
water, high chlorine, dirty filter(s), or dirty water.
1. Verify water temperature
The status reading will read lower in cooler water. To get an accurate
status reading, ensure water is above 35° C (95° F ).
2. Verify salt level
Use a FreshWater Salt Test strip to measure salt level. If the test strip shows
salt level is low:
a. Add 285 g (1 cup) of salt to the water and circulate for five minutes.
b. Retest with a FreshWater Salt Test strip, and repeat until salt level reads
in the OK range.
c. Press Test Status button. If System Status still reads low, check for
other conditions noted above.
3. Verify chlorine level
Use a FreshWater 5-Way Test Strip to measure chlorine level. If the test strip
shows the chlorine level is high (above 5 ppm):
a. Add 240ml (1 cup) hydrogen peroxide with jets running. Check chlorine
level after 10 minutes.
b. Retest with a test strip and repeat as needed.
4. Visually inspect and clean filter(s) (refer to spa Owner's Manual).
5. Check cartridge
a. Press Test Status button to refresh.
b. If the system status message continues to read low, it may be an
indication that it is time to replace the cartridge. Obtain a replacement
cartridge, press the Replace Cartridge button, and follow the
instructions.
System Status High (Red Right)
If the status indicator is in the red (on the right), this typically indicates that there is
too much salt in the water.
