b. 

Drain 25% of the water from the spa and refill with clean, clear water

 

c. 

Retest with a salt test strip, and repeat until salt level reads in the OK    

   range
 

d. 

Run a manual Status Test to refresh. 

2.  If the salt indicator is more than halfway in the red part, drain completely and refill 

following the Start-up and Refill Procedure. 

Cloudy Water:

Cloudy water can be the result of number of issues. 

•  High pH.

 Use a 5-way FreshWater®  test strip to check spa pH level. Add pH  

down as needed.  

•  Low chlorine.

 Use a 5-way FreshWater test strip. If chlorine is low, manually  

add granular dichlor as needed to shock spa for 24 – 48 hours.

•  Dirty filter.

 Check filters and clean as needed (see your spa’s Owner’s  

 

Manual). 

No Chlorine Reading:

The ACE system cleans spa water differently than bottled chlorine. Since the water is 

cleaned before the chlorine residual is established, only a small chlorine residual is 

needed. If there appears to be no chlorine in the water:

•  Check Output settings

. If you are using the spa heavily, your use level may  

require you to increase the Output setting to a higher number.

•  Increase Salt Level.

 Keep the salt level near the high-end of the OK range    

(1750 ppm) to ensure maximum chlorine generation. 

It is very important that you shock the spa water with FreshWater

®

 Concentrated 

Chlorinated Granules at start-up. Skipping this step can prevent the ACE system from 

establishing a chlorine residual.
If the ACE system is running at the maximum output setting and still not able to keep 

up with your chlorine demands, manually add Chlorine granules. 

High Chlorine Level:

The ACE system will continue to produce chlorine according to the selected Output 

level, regardless of whether you use your spa or not. If you begin to use your hot tub 

less frequently, it is important that you adjust the Output setting down. If the chlorine 

level is too high:

•  Check Output settings.

 Check settings. Your Output may require you to    

decrease the setting to a lower number.

•  Reduce chlorine level.

 Add 1 cup hydrogen peroxide with jets running.  

 

Check chlorine level after 10 minutes and repeat as needed.
