STEP 5 – Superchlorinate/Shock Spa Water and Establish Residual
1. Once your spa is programmed, check the chlorine level with a FreshWater test
strip. Depending on your spa model and water quality, it will take approximately
24 hours for the ACE
®
system to generate enough sanitizer to establish a
chlorine residual of 3-5 ppm.
2. Superchlorinate: Add granular sodium dichlor to the water as directed on
the bottle to bring the spa water to 5ppm as described in the spa’s Owner’s
Manual, to create a sanitized residual until the ACE system is generating sani-
tizer at full capacity.
3. Allow jets to run 5 minutes per jet system (rotating the diverter valves).
STEP 6 – 24 Hours Later
Test Salt level with ACE. Dose 125 grams (1/2 cup) at a time to achieve a value
of 5 or 6.
STEP 7 – Following Initial Start-Up
Following initial start-up, test the chlorine level and pH level of your spa and
before each use of the spa. Adjust the Use Level up if the chlorine level is low,
or down if the chlorine level is high, to find the level that produces a stable free
available chlorine level of 3-5 ppm. This will help maintain water quality.
Allow
24 hours for a change in Use Level to register in the chlorine reading on a test strip.
ACE 30-Day Check-up
You must check your spa water at least once every 30 days. To remind you, the ACE
water care icon and USE level will flash at the end of the 30-day cycle. If the USE level
has not been changed 3 days after the reminder started, the USE level will automatically
drop to 1 and continue to flash. After 40 days the Spa Size Value drops to 2. This protects
your hot tub from excessive levels of chlorine.
STEP 1 – Test & Balance Water
1. Use a FreshWater test strip to measure the pH, Total Alkalinity, and Hardness.
Use the Spa Water Guidelines in this manual to determine if your spa water is
in the “OK” range.
2. Adjust pH and Total Alkalinity following instructions in the Water Quality and
Maintenance section of your spa’s Owner’s Manual.
3. To decrease the Hardness level of the water, place a new Vanishing Act On the
low speed pump suction for up to 3 pump cycles.
STEP 2 – Access ACE + system menu
On the main control panel, press the MODE▲button until the ACE menu is
reached Press the ON▲ button to enter the ACE system menu.
