FreshWater Salt System

English
• Metal Treatment:
If metals are present, be sure to discuss this with your dealer.
Use FreshWater Clean Screen Pre-filter and/or Vanishing Act Calcium Remover.
If you use FreshWater Stain and Scale Defense, wait 24 hours before adding
chlorine or turning the salt system on. Excessive use of liquid metal or phosphate
antiscalant products will promote high phosphate levels, which can cause scale
and weaken chlorine output.
• Ozone:
Ozone is not recommended with the FreshWater Salt System.
• Phosphates:
High levels of phosphates (above 300 ppb) may cause reduced
sanitizer output. Ask your local dealer to help you test for and remove phosphates.
• Salt Level:
Salt is not reduced during sanitizer production. The salt level is
only reduced by adding additional water to the spa. Using the spa and adding
chemicals may increase the salt level over time.
• Salt Buildup:
Periodically hose off your spa, spa steps, 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 mode will decrease the chlorine generation
time of the system. If the Summer Timer is activated, the output level will most
likely need to be increased to compensate. If chlorine level is low, adjust output
level up by one each day until 1-5 ppm is maintained. Add chlorine to compensate.
• Water Changes:
The FreshWater Salt System reduces the amount of chemicals
needed to add to your spa water. You can extend the life of your spa water, up to
12 months, with proper water care. Test your water regularly to ensure spa water
is properly balanced and safe.
Important Additional Information
WARNING:
Operating the FreshWater Salt System without water flow through the cartridge
can cause a buildup of flammable gas.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this device.
WARNING:
Spa usage and higher temperatures may require higher chlorine output to
maintain proper free available chlorine residuals.
WARNING:
Maintaining high salt and chlorine levels above recommended range can con-
tribute to corrosion of spa equipment.
IMPORTANT: Check the expiration date of test strips
as test results may be inaccurate
if used after that date.
IMPORTANT:
When replacing the cartridge, only use FreshWater replacement cartridges
having a label that clearly states that it is a replacement cartridge for the chlorine-generat-
ing system.
Follow all aspects of the local and national electrical code(s) when installing the system.
Maximum spa water usage temperature is 104º F (40º C). Bathing in spa water at maxi-
mum temperature should not exceed 15 minutes.
