HotSpring ACE User Manual

NOTE: If you are unsure of your Use Level at start-up, an initial Use Level of 3 is

STEP 5 – Superchlorinate/Shock Spa Water and Establish Residual
1. Once your Ace
®
System is programmed with the expected USE level check the
chlorine level with a FreshWater 5-Way test strip. Depending on your spa model
and water quality, it will take approximately 24 hours for the ACE system to gen-
erate enough sanitizer to establish a chlorine residual of 3-5 ppm.
2. Superchlorinate: Add granular sodium dichlor 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 sanitizer at full
capacity.
3. Allow jets to run 5 minutes per jet system (rotating the diverter valves).
NOTE: Ensure that the Vanishing Act calcium remover is
repositioned after running jets
STEP 6 – Remove Vanishing Act calcium remover after 24 hours – discard in
your normal trash
1. Using a new test strip, test spa water for Hardness. If
Hardness level still reads above the recommend range of
25-75ppm, additional calcium removers will be needed at
this time.
2. Run a salt test with the ACE. Dose 1/2 cup at a time to
achieve 40 - 75% green level on the salt meter.
