IMPORTANT Shock the spa water with chlorine at start-up. Skipping this step can prevent
the system from establishing a chlorine residual.
If the system is running at the maximum output level and still cannot keep your
chlorine in range, consult your dealer.
High Chlorine
The system will continue to produce chlorine according to the selected output level,
regardless of whether you use your spa or not. If you begin to use your hot tub less
frequently, it is important that you lower the output level.
If the chlorine level is too high:
• Check output level. You may need to decrease the output level to a lower
number.
• Reduce chlorine. Add 1 cup (240ml) hydrogen peroxide with jets running.
Check chlorine level after 10 minutes and repeat as needed.
• Consult your dealer about changing the internal system output level.
Tips
• Calcium Hardness: Use the Vanishing Act Calcium Remover to keep total
calcium hardness levels low and minimize the need for antiscalant or liquid metal
control products. An On The Go portable water softener is recommended for high
calcium hardness areas.
• Heavy Use: Initiate a Boost cycle a few hours prior to heavy use. Periodically test
the chlorine and add chlorine as needed.
• MPS Use: Granular Monopersulfate (MPS) can be used in place of chlorine to
establish a sanitizer residual at start-up and for shocking the spa.
Use FreshWater MPS Test Strips to measure MPS levels in the spa water if MPS
is preferred. NOTE: MPS and MPS test strips are sold separately.
• Metal Treatment: If metals are present, be sure to discuss this with your dealer.
Use FreshWater Clean Screen Pre-filter and/or Vanishing Act Calcium Remover.
If you use FreshWater Stain and Scale Defense, wait 24 hours before adding
chlorine or turning the salt system on. Excessive use of liquid metal or phosphate
antiscalant products will promote high phosphate levels, which can cause scale
and weaken chlorine output.
• Ozone: Ozone is not recommended with the FreshWater Salt System.
• Phosphates: High levels of phosphates (above 300 ppb) may cause reduced
sanitizer output. Ask your local dealer to help you test for phosphates.
• Salt Level: Salt is not reduced during sanitizer production. The salt level is only
reduced by adding water to the spa. Using the spa and adding chemicals will
increase the salt level over time.
• Salt Buildup: Periodically hose off your spa, spa steps, and the deck or concrete
surrounding your spa after use to prevent salt buildup that can occur from splash-
out.
