HotSpring ACE User Manual

Step 7- Following Initial Start-Up
Following initial start-up, test the chlorine level and pH level of your spa once
a week and before use. 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
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.

30-Day Check-up
You must check your spa water at least once every 30 days. To remind you, the ACE
water care icon will flash and the status message will read, Check Water/Confirm Use
Level at the end of each 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 and 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
calcium remover over the heater return at the bottom of the spa for 24 hours.
STEP 2 – Access Water Care system menu
Press the Options hard button, followed by the Water Care soft button on the
spa’s main control panel.
STEP 3 – Confirm Use Level
1. In the Water Care system menu, press the Use Level soft button
2. If Use Level is correct, then use the soft buttons next to the up or down
arrows to change the Use Level and then change it back to the original
setting. If chlorine level has been too low or too high, adjust Use Level
accordingly.
3. Adjusting the Use Level will cause the value on screen to flash. Once the
correct Use Level is displayed, press the Confirm? soft button to enter
your selection. The value will stop flashing, and the “?” next to the word
Confirm will disappear. Allow 24 hours for a change in Use Level to
register in the chlorine reading on a test strip.
4. Press the BACK hard button to return to the main menu.
NOTE: If the Use Level has not changed, you must still change the Use Level setting
on the spa’s control panel and then change it back, in order to re-set the thirty day timer
and stop the water care icon from flashing.
