Section 3c
OPERATION (cont’d)
Additional notes:
a)
For proper sanitation, spa must be completely drained periodically. The number of days between COMPLETE SPA DRAINAGE is equal
to the volume of spa water in liters, divided by 10 times the maximum number of daily spa users.
b)
Maximum spa usage temperature is 40°C (104°F). Duration in spa water at 40°C should not exceed 15 minutes.
c)
Heavy use of the spa (excessive contamination) may require longer recovery times (A return to a minimum of 3 ppm chlorine/bromine).
Recovery time may be reduced by adding a shock compound to the water.
d)
Hot weather, heavy pool usage, and rain may require a higher output to maintain proper sanitizer residual.

TRI-SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The Tri-sensor assembly tests for Flow, Salt and Water temperatures. A minimum flow rate of 94.5 L/min (25 US Gallons/min) is required to activate
the flow switch. As the water flow closes the paddle, a magnet activates a micro switch to verify proper flow. The Salt sensor protects against low salt
levels and the temperature sensor protects against cold water temperatures. Both of which can contribute to accelerated cell failure.
Note: The use of high strength magnet devices in the close proximity
of the tri-sensor can cause the flow switch to read incorrectly.
Remove the Tri-Sensor as follows (with pump off):
Remove both screws from the sides of the Tee Assembly.
With the aid of large Channel-lok® (or similar) pliers, firmly
grip the Tri-Sensor assembly and move back and forth
while removing the Tri-Sensor from the tee.

Inspect the thin metalic paddle for erosion and straightness.
Arrow
Take care not to twist or tweak this paddle, which can cause

Inspect the salt sensor blades for scale and debris and clean
if necessary. See page 13 for cleaning instructions. Follow
the directions for Manual Cell Cleaning.
Check the tri-sensor assembly for any damage to the plastic
housing and replace if needed.
