Troubleshooting
Treating for Metals
High metal content can cause staining and discolored water. It is important that metals
are removed before starting up the Salt System.
1. Fill the spa with the FreshWater Clean Screen Pre-Filter per instructions.
2. Ensure that there is no ozone unit installed and that the Salt System is turned to zero.
3. If needed, add FreshWater Stain and Scale Defense according to the instructions
on the bottle. You must turn off your Salt System (Output Level 0) for 24 hours and
thoroughly clean your filters before Step 3 of start-up process.
4. Use a new FreshWater Vanishing Act Calcium Remover (following the instructions).
5. DO NOT add chlorine for at least 24 hours.
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 95° F (35° C).
2. Verify salt level
Use a salt test strip to measure salt level. If the test strip shows salt level is low:
a. Add 1 cup of salt to the water and circulate for five minutes.
b. Retest with a 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 1 cup (240ml) hydrogen peroxide with jets running. Check chlorine level
after 10 minutes.
b. Retest with a test strip and repeat as needed.
