Onzen Technical Guide
Steps to Help Ensure Sodium Chloride Test Strips are Used Correctly Continued
Step 6. Sodium Chloride Adjustment
The following levels are ideal:
Minimum
Maximum
1500 ppm
1800 ppm
Note: The Arctic Spas Onzen Salt Chart in this guide provides the
estimated impact of adding ½ lb (225 Grams) of salt to your spa.
Add or dilute water as needed.
· If Sodium Chloride reading is greater than the maximum
level, add water.
· If Sodium Chloride reading is less than the minimum level,
add salt.
Note: Once Sodium Chloride reading is in the ideal range salt
concentration will only change if water is splashed or drained out
and spa is replenished with water. Do not add salt unless this test
confirms the level is below the ideal range.
Warranty: Use of salt other than Arctic Pure sea salt blend will
damage the components and void the warranty. The Arctic Pure
blend has been developed to protect Onzen components from
damage and the use of alternative salt blends will be easily detected
by technicians.
Steps to Stabilize Water
Step 1. Stabilize Spa Water
Once Filtration cycles and filtration duration low level settings have
been programmed place the insulated cover on the spa and allow the
water temperature to stabilize (approximately 16 hours). Make sure
you secure the cover in place using the cover locks. Periodically check
the spa water temperature. When the water temperature climbs above
85°F, (29°C) proceed to the next step.
Note: As heat impacts both Calcium and Total Alkalinity a little it
is best to heat the water above 29°C (85°F) before advancing to
Establishing Correct Water Chemistry.
Filter Cycle Suspension
During a Filter cycle, if an accessory (a pump, the blower, or the light) is used manually, the Filter cycle is suspended
during the time that the accessories are used.
Once all accessories are turned off (whether manually or by built-in timer), the Filtration cycle remains suspended for
an extra 40 minutes. When a Filtration cycle is suspended the Filtration cycle icon will blink.
