2. TDS (TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS) CHECK
check the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) of the water you'll use to
fill the spa. Verifying the TDS range can be done by your spa
selling dealer. The TDS range should be within 50 and 400
PPM. When you're certain the water is within the proper TDS
range, fill your spa. If the TDS is higher than 500 PPM, ask your
spa dealer for additional information to help reduce initial TDS.
DO NOT use water from a "Salt Water Softener" system. Make
sure there is adequate flow and that no airlocks are trapped in
the unit's plumbing. If airlocks are formed, start the pump and
follow the instructions in the owner’s manual.
3. ADJUST WATER CHEMISTRY IN THE SPA
Proper chemical maintenance of a spa is essential for the health
of bathers. Maintaining the quality of the spa water within these
specified values will enhance your enjoyment of the spa and
prolong the life of the In.Clear system.
For best results, adjust to the following water chemistry
parameters.
Check
these
parameters
periodically.
Calcium hardness (TH): between 150 and 200 PPM Total
Alkalinity: between 100 and 120 PPM pH: between 7.2 and
7.8
Water chemistry should be balanced before adding sodium
bromide into the water. It's essential that the water chemistry
parameters are within the proposed range to obtain optimal
system performance. vHigh Calcium Hardness may lead to
faster calcification of the electrolytic plates.
4. ADD SODIUM BROMIDE (SUCH AS BROMICHARGE)
Water temperature between 32° and 38° C (90° and 100° F)
helps dissolve sodium bromide and facilitates the adjustment of
the maintenance level. Start the pump on high speed to allow
water to circulate and slowly add sodium bromide uniformly in
the spa by simply pouring it from the container. Metric
Calculation: Add 0.143 kg of sodium bromide which has a
guarantee of at least a 98% active ingredient, such as
BromiCharge, per 100 L of water to attain 1400 ppm TDS value
(Total Dissolved Solids). Example, if your spa holds 1200 L of
water, add 1.72 kg of sodium bromide (12 X 0.143 kg). Imperial
Calculation: Add sodium bromide which has a guarantee of at
least a 98% active ingredient, such as BromiCharge per 100 US
gallons of water. Example, if your spa holds 300 US gallons of
water, add 3.6 lbs of sodium bromide (3 X 1.2 lb).
Note:
Your
selling dealer can tell you how much water your spa holds (in
liters or gallons).
MAINTENANCE MODE
Maintenance Mode keeps the bromine bank levels at a stable
and acceptable range when the spa is not being used.
Maintenance mode is the “everyday” mode and is automatically
ON when the system is activated.
Press and hold the Program key for 2 seconds to change the
maintenance mode level.
Use the Up and Down keys to adjust the maintenance level,
ranges from 1 to 50.
Finding and setting the right maintenance level will
keep the residual bromide level between 3 and 5 PPM
(the recommended range). Once the proper maintenance
level is determined, keep the same setting unless the spa
conditions change (change in water temperature, spa location
etc.).
BOOST MODE
The Boost Mode should be activated every time you use
your spa. Boost mode increases the bromine generation rate to
attack pollutants in the water and helps rebuild the necessary
residual bromine in the water after each use of the spa.
If water quality is not good after use, only boost level should
be adjusted, not the maintenance level.
Press the Boost key once while in maintenance mode to start
a boost, or to adjust boost settings.
Use the Up and Down keys to adjust the boost level, ranges
from 1 to 8.
Note:
Boost levels depend on the number of bathers using the
spa. We recommend you validate the Boost level after each
use to determine the ideal boost level for all numbers of bathers.
IN.CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS

1. CLEAN THE SPA
It's important to completely clean the spa to remove all residues
accumulated on the surface and inside or around the jet area.
After draining the spa, use spa cleaning products only.
Household cleaners contain additives such as phosphates which
may affect the bromine production.
