STEP 4 – Superchlorinate/Shock Spa and Plumbing Lines
1. Use a Freshwater 5-Way test strip to measure chlorine levels.
2. Activate spa’s automatic clean cycle using the main control panel.
3. Increase chlorine level to 5 ppm using granular sodium dichlor.
Chlorine Boost
If the spa is being used more often than usual, it may be necessary to add more
chlorine to the water by “boosting” the ACE
®
system. To increase the chlorine
level:
1. Access the Water Care system menu by pressing the Options hard button,
followed by the Water Care soft button on the spa’s main control panel.
2. Press the Boost soft button.
3. Press the Yes soft button to confirm the manual Boost operation.
4. The system will automatically initiate a salt test before the Boost. Once salt test
is complete, the status will display "Water Care System Boosting" when active.
IMPORTANT: It takes 24 hours to complete the Boost cycle. The chlorine level
must be maintained between 3-5ppm at all times. Manually add sodium dichlor if
necessary for regular use or shocking the spa.
Salt Test
The ACE system automatically tests the water’s salt level. A manual Salt Test is only
required if the water care icon is flashing and the status screen indicates High salt or
Low salt levels. The ACE System is offline/stops generating when High or Low salt is
measured. Freshwater Salt Test Strips should be used to verify the sodium chloride level.
To conduct a manual Salt Test:
1. Access the Water Care system menu by pressing the Options hard button,
followed by the Water Care soft button, on the spa’s main control panel.
2. Press the Set-up soft button, followed by the Salt Test soft button.
3. The red/green/yellow salt level bar on the left side of the screen will display
a black line, which indicates the salt level of the water. The green portion
of the bar represents the OK range for salt, the red portion means high
salt, and the yellow portion means low salt
4. Press Yes soft button to start the salt test and wait 20 seconds for the test
to complete. Do not attempt to conduct a Salt Test while the jets are running.
a. Target salt level is 40 - 75% green
b. If proper amount of salt is present, the screen will
display “Water Care System Functioning”.
c. If “Low Salt” or “High Salt” is displayed, proceed as follows:
