BEFORE OPERATING THE SPA STAR :
«
1. Balance the Pool according to the information on
the Snap Pool Balance table on the rear cover of
this manual, and also supplied as a chart with the
Spa Star. Feel free to take that chart to your pool
«
shop if you prefer them to test your water.
2. It is not advised to use skimmer basket type
clarifying cubes that treat Total Dissolved Solids
(TDS) and Phosphates when operating the Eco-
Oxidizer.
3. Backwash your filter if it is a sand filter, or wash
your filter if it is a cartridge type filter. Refer to your
filter’s handbook.
INITIAL START-UP OPERATION
PLEASE READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
.
SPA STAR
«
NORMAL OPERATION
1. Switch the Spa Star off 2 to 3 hours before adding
«
any phosphate removers, flocculants, clarifiers or
waterline scum detergents or the like.
2. Do not start the Spa Star back up again for 24
«
hours after adding any of the products listed
above.
3. If the pool water becomes cloudy at any time we
suggest testing the various pool balance levels and
re-balancing the pool water according to the Snap
Pool Balance table on the rear cover of this
manual, and also supplied as a chart with the
Spa Star. Feel free to take that chart to your pool
«
shop if you prefer them to test your water.
4. Check the pressure gauge attached to your filter
regularly. If the pressure is more than 50kPa above
the clean running pressure, then the filter must be
cleaned. Sand filters must be backwashed, and
cartridge filters must be disassembled, washed
with water, and reassembled. Refer to your filter’s
handbook.
5. To depend on the Spa Star to remove the
«
cloudiness and restore clarity before testing the
water balance levels is asking the unit to fix a
problem that only has one solution. Correct water
balance and efficient filtering with a clean filter
will restore clarity…if this does not clarify the pool
water then it is most likely requiring more
oxidation.
To put it more simply… if the filter is operating
normally, with no heavy bather load upsetting the
water clarity, then any cloudy or hazy appearance
in the water is most likely due to the pool water
becoming being unbalanced.
