Getting Started

Fill your Spa

Fill your spa with water using the CleanScreen 

®

 pre-filter with the valve 50% closed 

(45º angle). Once your spa has power and the ACE system is installed, follow these 

five simple steps.

 

NOTE:

 If you are not filling your spa for the first time, clean your filters with Filter 

Cleaner or replace with new filters, before refilling spa. Soft water or a water softener 

can be used to fill the spa, ensure the hardness is a minimum of 25 ppm. If you are 

filling with well water or have a known metal issue, see 

TREATING FOR METALS

 in 

the troubleshooting section for additional instructions.

System Start-up

1.  Test and balance spa water 

using a 5-way test strip. Measure pH, Total 

Alkalinity, and Hardness levels, to determine if your water is in the "OK" ranges 

specified for the ACE system (see table below) and adjust as needed.

2.  Reduce Hardness to 50 ppm (if Hardness is above 50ppm)

 using the 

Vanishing Act calcium remover, which may take 24 hours or longer. Rinse the 

calcium remover before use, and follow instructions on the box. Continue the 

start-up process while the calcium remover is working; be sure to reposition the 

bag after jets are turned on/off.
