ACE Salt Water Sanitizing System
Tips:
• Calcium Hardness:
Use the Vanishing Act calcium remover to keep total
hardness levels low and minimize the need for anti-scalant & metal control.
• Heavy Use.
Initiate a Boost a few hours prior. Periodically measure the chlo-
rine and add granular sodium dichlor as need.
• MPS use.
Granular MPS (Potassium Peroxymonosulfate) can be used in
place of sodium dichlor to establish a sanitizer residual at start-up, and for
shocking the spa at each 30-day check-up. Use FreshWater® MPS test
strips to measure MPS levels in the spa water.
• Metal Treatment.
If metals are present be sure to discuss this with your
Hot Spring dealer. Use a Vanishing Act and Stain and Scale control for 24
hours before adding oxidizer from granular chlorine, ozone, or turning the
ACE system on. Excessive use of phosphate anti-scalant will promote high
phosphate levels which can cause scale and weaken chlorine output.
• Mixed Oxidants.
To clean the water, the ACE salt water sanitizing system
generates a variety of mixed oxidants, in addition to chlorine. The chlorine
reading on the test strip may not be indicative of total oxidizer level.
• Ozone.
The ACE system should be capable of maintaining a sufficient
sanitizer level, and adding ozone is not recommended.
• Phosphates.
High levels of phosphates (above 300 ppb) may cause re-
duced sanitizer output, ask your local Hot Spring ® dealer to help you test for
phosphates.
• Salt level.
Salt is not consumed during sanitizer production. The salt level is
only reduced by adding water to the spa. Using the spa and adding chemi-
cals will increase the salt level over time.
• Salt buildup.
Periodically hose off your spa and the deck or concrete
surrounding your spa after use to prevent salt buildup that can occur from
splash-out.
• Summer Timer.
The Summer Timer will decrease the chlorine generation
time of the ACE system. If the spa’s Summer Timer is activated, the Output
will most likely need to be increased to compensate. If chlorine level is low,
adjust Output up by one each day until 1-5 ppm is maintained. Add granular
chlorine to compensate.
• Water Changes.
Because the ACE salt water sanitizing system reduces the
amount of chemicals added to the spa water, it is possible to significantly
extend the life of the water. Test your water regularly to ensure safety.
