Spa Boy Maintenance
Question 1 How do I Replace the Spa Boy Output Electrode?
The Spa Boy Output Electrode should be replaced every 12 months. Doing this ensures Sanitizer will be produced and sanitizer
remains in the required range. The App also shows a “ BATTERY” displaying the amount of life left in the Spa Boy Salt Cell.
Accuracy of the display is dependent on the salt dosage being within the required range 2000ppm – 2500ppm.
The Spa Boy Output Electrode can be replaced without draining the spas water providing these steps are followed.
Steps:
•
Turn the breaker off to isolate power to your Spa.
•
Unscrew the Spa Boy Niche out of its housing.
•
Raise the Niche completely out of the spas water and dry off any water on the Niche and Electrode.
•
To help prevent galvanic corrosion, it is critical to ensure that spa water does not come into contact with the Spa Boy Electrode
Electrical Pin or female matting connection located on the Spa Boy Niche when disconnecting the Niche from the Spa Boy Electrode.
* Keep them high and keep them dry, when replacing the Spa Boy Output Electrode!
•
With a small Phillips screwdriver unscrew the set screw that secures the Spa Boy Output Electrode to the Niche.
•
Remove the Spa Boy Output Electrode from the Niche by Unscrewing the Electrode anticlockwise and ensure the small O-ring
has not dislodged from the Electrode and remained behind inside the Niche.
•
Ensure the new Electrode has the small O-ring correctly seated into the groove that is positioned around the electrical pin.
•
Inspect the male electrical connection plug in the Niche to ensure it is not corroded. If corroded the dealer will need to be
contacted as the Spa Boy Niche Assembly will require replacement.
•
Apply Dielectric Grease to the electrical pin on the new Spa Boy Electrode.
•
Insert the Spa Boy Electrode back into the Niche and turning clockwise screw the Electrode into the Niche until tight and the
locating hole has aligned (approximately 4 revolutions).
•
Insert the set screw into the Electrode and using a Phillips screwdriver tighten the set screw.
•
Tuck the wiring loom back into the Housing.
•
Screw the Niche back into its Housing ensuring the Electrode points upwards when tight. This ensures maximum output from the
Electrode.
•
Turn the breaker back on to repower your spa.
Question 2 How do I Care for the Spa Boy Sensor?
The Spa Boy Sensor must never be permitted to freeze and must always remain in contact with water. If the Sensor freezes or is
not left in contact with water at all times the sensor will fail and will require replacement!
