same time. After refilling the spa with water, balance the Total Alkalinity (TA), Calcium Hardness (CH) and pH to the recommended levels. Shock

the spa by adding sanitizer, either MPS or sodium dichlor.

1. Fold back the vinyl cover.

2. Carefully remove and set aside the filter compartment cover.

3. Remove any floating items within the filter compartment.

4. Locate the grey filter cap. Turn the filter cap counterclockwise until the cap can be removed from the filter standpipe.

5. Remove and clean filter cartridges.

NOTE: When replacing the FreshWater

the filters, simply move the filters from one standpipe to another. Typically, the filter on the circulation system (with grey filter cap, standpipe

and wallfitting) is subject to the greatest load. By rotating the filters, the load placed on the individual filter by the circulation system is greatly

reduced. This extends the life of the filters.

6. Remove the existing FreshWater

7. Install the new FreshWater

standpipe.

8. Reinstall the cleaned filter cartridges.

9. Replace and secure the grey filter cap.

10. Replace the filter compartment cover.

11. Fold the cover back into place.

WARNING: Never use the spa with the filter cartridges or filter standpipes removed!

SILVER IONS QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question: How are the silver ions actually added to the water?

Answer: The silver ion cartridge contains ceramic beads that are infused with silver. By placing the cartridge in the circulation pump filter

standpipe, it is subjected to the continuous flow of water created by the pump's 24 hour circulation. The flowing water, through a chemical

erosion process, carries with it the silver ions necessary to add a sanitizing residual to the spa water.

Question: What happens if I do not add the weekly shock treatment?

Answer: The contaminants in the water may coat the silver ion cartridge's ceramic beads, blocking the silver ions' release into the water. When

this occurs, there will be no residual of silver ions present in the water, eliminating them from the sanitizing process.

Question: How often should the FreshWater

Answer: The cartridge must be replaced every four months. Please refer to the instructions provided with each FreshWater

cartridge.

Question: Can I use the FreshWater

Answer: Yes. In fact, it is preferred! The use of the FreshWater

substantially reduce the need for supplemental chemical treatments when the spa is not in use.

Question: Why can't I use bromine or biguanides instead of MPS or chlorine?

Answer: Bromine and biguanides will chemically react with the sanitizing action of the silver ions. This will eliminate their beneficial sanitizing effect.

DOS AND DON'TS

• DO check your MPS or dichlor chemical level prior to each use.

• DO shock the spa weekly (use either MPS or sodium dichlor).

• DO change the FreshWater

• DO test Total Alkalinity and pH weekly.

• DO use MPS for spas only, such as Hot Spring

• DO store all chemicals in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place.

• DO shock the spa with chlorine at spa startup or refill.

• DON'T use bromine, sodium bromide or biguanides. These are an active sanitizer and will combine with the silver ions to inactivate them.

• DON'T use a water clarifier. Clarifiers will cause the spa water to become cloudy.
