Ongoing Maintenance
1. It is recommended to test and balance your spa water before each use.
• The pH level may increase during the first few weeks after start-up. Add
FreshWater pH/ Alkalinity Down if needed. Ensure that pH and alkalinity levels stay
within the OK range.
• Keep total calcium hardness between 25-75 ppm. Use a new Vanishing Act Calcium
Remover when calcium hardness is above 75 ppm.
• The recommended chlorine level is 3 ppm. Adjust the output level up or down to
maintain
the target chlorine level. Boost to supplement chlorine generation after
prolonged use. Supplemental chlorine can be added as required to achieve 3 ppm
chlorine target if the spa is set to the maximum output level 10. You can reduce the
chlorine level in the spa water by adding hydrogen peroxide (see High Chlorine on
page 10).
2. 10-day system check - Test the spa water & confirm output level
You should test your spa water and confirm output level at least once every 10 days.
A system check reminder will appear on your spa control panel.
a. Every 10 days, if you have not adjusted your output level, the water care icon
on the control panel will flash as a reminder to check your spa by testing and
balancing your spa water and confirming your output level. The 10-day timer
will reset any time you adjust your output level. If you do not perform the 10-day
maintenance routine, the system will default to Low Output Mode (level 3 after
15 days and level 1 after 20 days).
b. Test and balance spa water using a FreshWater 5-Way Test Strip. Measure
chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels to determine if your water
is in the OK ranges specified for the system. Adjust as needed. Reduce calcium
hardness if necessary to maintain a range between 25-75 ppm by using the
FreshWater Vanishing Act Calcium Remover.
c. Confirm output level. Adjust your output level as needed to maintain a 3 ppm
chlorine target level. Press the Confirm or OK button to clear the 10-day system
check reminder.
3. Replace FreshWater Salt System cartridge
The chlorine-generating cartridge in the system will typically need replacement after
four months of operation. Once your cartridge has been in service for 4 months the
spa will notify you that it may be time to change your cartridge. The cartridge can be
changed at any time.
1. Follow instructions on control panel to replace cartridge.
2. Remove cap.
3. Press button (on top of cartridge) to remove cartridge.
4. Insert new cartridge. Press button on top of cartridge and push into place.
5. Secure cap. Follow instructions on control panel.
