Place the end of the tubing into the vinegar, making certain that the end of the tubing sits at the bottom of the container.
5.
Reconnect power to the spa.
6.
Run the spa until all 16 ounces of the vinegar are gone. This should allow an ample flow of vinegar to be run through the injector and clear the blockage.
7.
Disconnect power to the spa.
8.
Remove the empty cup or bucket.
9.
Reinstall the tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.
10.
Close the equipment compartment door.
11.
Reconnect power to the spa.
12.
The Monarch ozone system is practically maintenance-free because it is located within the spa’s equipment compartment. If bubbles are appearing at the spa’s heater
return, but the water is not as clear as usual, then the operation of the ozone generator should be checked your Caldera
®
Spa Dealer.
WARNING:
Contact your Caldera Spa Dealer if your spa requires troubleshooting beyond the scope of this manual. Monarch ozone systems should only be serviced by
a qualified technician.
WARRANTY NOTE:
Cleaning of the ozone injector is not covered under the warranty. Refer to the Ozone section of this manual for ozone injector cleaning instructions.
DOs anD DOn’Ts
DO add all chemicals slowly into or in front of the filter compartment with the jet pump operating for ten minutes.
•
DO use special care if using baking soda to clean either the interior or exterior plastic surfaces.
•
DO use only a granular form of bromine sanitizer.
•
DON’T use swimming pool (muriatic) acid to lower pH.
•
DON’T splash pH increaser additives on the siding.
•
DON’T use Compressed Sanitizers.
•
The use of bromine sticks or tablets in floaters, which may become entrapped in a lounge or cooling seat (or sink to the spa floor), have been shown to cause
discoloration of or surface distress to a spa’s shell.
DON’T use a floater type sanitization system as a low or no maintenance solution to your spa maintenance program.
•
Floating dispensers can become trapped in one area and cause an over-sanitization (or chemical burn) of that particular area.
If the dispenser setting is too high, the high concentration can discolor the spa shell and damage the underside of the cover.
Automatic floating dispensers have a tendency to either over-brominate or under-brominate as the rate of erosion varies greatly. Damage to the spa and cover
can occur very quickly.
IMPORTANT:
Watkins Manufacturing Corporation does not recommend the use of any floating chemical dispenser. Damage to the spa shell or components
caused by a floating chemical dispenser is specifically not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.
DON’T use a sanitizer which is not designed for spas.
•
DON’T use household bleach (liquid sodium hypochlorite).
•
DON’T broadcast or sprinkle the chemicals onto the water surface. This method may cause chemically-induced spa surface blistering (chemical abuse).

question
: How are the silver ions added to the water?
Answer
: The silver cartridge contains ceramic beads that are infused with silver. By placing the cartridge in the holder filter standpipe, it is subject to the flow of water
created by the operation of the 24-hour EnergyPro
®
circulation pump. The flowing water, through a chemical erosion process, carries with it the silver ions necessary to
add a sanitizing residual to the spa water.
question
: What happens if I do not add the weekly shock treatment?
Answer
: The contaminants in the water may coat the silver cartridge’s ceramic beads, blocking the silver ions’ release into the water. When this occurs, there will be no
residual of silver ions present in the water, eliminating them from the sanitizing process.
question
: How often should the Monarch silver cartridge be replaced?
Answer
: The cartridge must be replaced every four months.
question
: Can I use the Monarch silver cartridge with the SPA FROG
®
water care system?
Answer
: The Monarch silver cartridge is not compatible with SPA FROG or with bromine.
WATER qUALITY AND MAINTENANCE
NITRIC ACID ACCUMULATES IN THE AIR LINES OF THE OZONATOR
AND INJECTOR. NITRIC ACID WILL CAUSE SEVERE CHEMICAL BURNS
IF DIRECT SKIN CONTACT IS MADE, SO ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE
GLOVES, GLASSES AND CLOTHING WHEN WORKING ON THE OZONATOR
OR INJECTOR LINES. TO PREVENT INHALATION OR INGESTION OF THE
NITRIC ACID, DO NOT BLOW OR INHALE WITH YOUR MOUTH TO ANY OF
THE ADAPTERS, FITTINGS OR TUBING OF THE OZONATOR OR INJECTOR
AIR LINES.
