Adjust Output level as needed

. To maximize cell life, keep the output level set as 

low as possible to meet your needs. If your use pattern changes you will need to 

adjust the output level up or down accordingly. The boost function or granular sodium  

dichlor can be used on occasions when more chlorine is needed. 

30-day check-up

. Every 30 days test and balance spa water, confirm your output 

setting, rinse filters, and shock with FreshWater 

®

 Concentrated Chlorinating 

Granules. A 30-day timer will remind you to perform this step.

Decrease chlorine level as needed

. If the spa is not used for an extended amount 

of time, and the output level is not adjusted down, the chlorine level may rise. You 

can reduce the chlorine level in the spa water by adding hydrogen peroxide.

ACE System Status

The ACE system communicates via the spa's control system, so you can have peace 

of mind that the system is functioning.

•

ACE menu 

to view and adjust the ACE system by pressing the
