ACE Salt Water Sanitizing System Page 15
Cell Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of the ACE cell is recommended to maximize the life of your
equipment. Use of the Vanishing Act calcium remover will help reduce the cleaning
frequency. On average, the cell should be cleaned every 3 months. When the status
message on the screen indicates Low Salt and the water has not been changed or
topped off recently, it may be time to inspect and clean the cell.
CAUTION: To avoid damage DO NOT insert any objects into the cell.
1. Turn off the power to the spa. Open the spa cover and remove the filter lid.
2. Unscrew gray filter cap and gently pull the cell out of the filter.
3. Inspect the cell for scale by looking between the electrodes.
4. Unscrew the lid to the cleaning bottle included with the ACE system and fill with
spa water to the fill-line indicated on the bottle. Add 3 tablespoons of pH down
to the cleaning bottle and secure lid. Shake bottle to create cleaning solution.
NOTE: A stronger cleaning solution of 1 pt muriatic pool acid & 10 pt water can be used.
5. Remove the lid from the cleaning bottle. Place the cell in the bottle,
ensuring that the bottom of cell is floating.
6. Soak the cell for 10 minutes or until bubbles stop coming from the cell. If
bubbles are still releasing from the cell after 10 minutes, change the
cleaning solution and repeat until the cell is clean and all scale is removed.
7. Replace cell into the filter standpipe. Screw on the gray filter cap, replace
the filter lid, and power up the spa. Ensure that the cell is at the bottom of
the filter standpipe by feeling for the pull of the pump’s suction.
Tips
• Prevent Cell Damage: Do not insert anything into the cell or pressure wash it.
This will damage the electrodes.
• Salt: Salt is not consumed during sanatizer production. The salt level is only
reduced by adding water to the spa. Using the spa and adding chemicals will
increase the salt level over time.
• Turning the ACE System off: By setting both USE and SIZE levels to 1, the
system will stop generating sanitizers.
• Vacation or limited use. When the spa is not going to be in use, shock the
spa by increasing chlorine to 3-5 ppm and then run the automatic clean cycle.
Clean or replace filters. Lower Use Level setting to 1. For extended vacations,
also lower the Spa Size to 2 for low output mode.
• Water Changes. Because the ACE salt water sanitizing system reduces the
amount of chemicals added to the spa water, it is possible to significantly
extend the life of the water. Test your water regularly to ensure safety.
• If heavy bathing is expected. Initiate a Boost a few hours prior.
Periodically measure the chlorine and add granular sodium dichlor as need.
