Metals - Using well water or have high metal content in your water? Iron and manganese

should be below 0.5 ppm and copper should be below 0.2 ppm. If metals are present

in the water, they must be removed before startup of the FreshWater Salt System. It is

strongly recommended to fill your spa using the FreshWater Clean Screen Pre-Filter.

FreshWater Stain and Scale Defense can also be used following instructions on the bottle.

IMPORTANT: If you have used liquid products to remove metals from your spa water, you

must clean your filters and wait 24 hours after treatment before turning the salt system on

or adding any chlorine.

Step 2 - Fill Spa

NOTE: If you are performing a drain and refill of your spa, it is recommended to

clean filters prior to filling the spa.

If you are changing your current water care program to FreshWater Salt System, you

must drain and rinse your spa and clean your filters before proceeding.

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 1-inch (2.5

cm) above the highest jet.

NOTE: If your fill water contains high levels of metal (over 0.5ppm) or calcium (over 300

ppm), use the FreshWater Clean Screen Pre-Filter and/or On The Go as required. Ensure

the calcium hardness is not lower than 25 ppm by topping the spa off with a small amount

of tap water as necessary. If you are filling with well water or have metal issues, see

Treating for Metals on page 8.

If you are using a silver cartridge along with the FreshWater Salt System, insert your

FreshWater Mineral Spa Sanitizer 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.

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 / 35 degrees Celsius) 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 valve to middle

position and leave the jets on for adding salt.

NOTE: 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.

Step 3 - Add Salt (Target 1,750 ppm)

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 (Reference Table 1), using the cup provided

with your FreshWater Spa Salt. Pour the salt into the filter compartment, 1 cup at a time,

with the jets running. Allow five minutes for the salt to dissolve.
