Maintenance Mode:

Maintenance Mode keeps the bromine bank levels at 

a stable and acceptable range when the spa is not being

used Maintenance Mode is the “everyday” mode 

and is automatically ON when the system is activated

Maintenance level adjustment changes the rate at which

bromine will be released into the spa water

Finding and setting the right maintenance level will keep

the residual bromine level between 3 and 5 PPM (the

recommended range) when the spa is not being used

or is left unused for an extended period of time Once 

the proper maintenance level is determined, keep the

same setting unless the spa conditions change

(change in water temperature, spa location etc)

Finding the right bromine generation level is a crucial

step for the in clear system to be stable and effective

The spa filtration should be set at a minimum

of 8hrs per day

It is important to note that the in clear system can

ONLY generate bromine when the water is circulating

If you are having problems maintaining a stable level

of bromine, or determining the proper maintenance 

level for your spa, you may have to increase the daily

filtering time Longer filtration produces a more steady

level of bromine

Boost Mode:

The Boost Mode should be activated every time you use

your spa Boost Mode increases the bromine generation

rate to attack pollutants in the water and helps rebuild

the necessary residual bromine in the water after each

use of the spa Pollutants are introduced to the water

by the bathers, causing the bromine levels to decrease

Activating the Boost Mode when you enter the spa will 

prevent inadequate bromine levels and will restore your

bromine to the proper residual level

Finding the right Boost level is another crucial step for

the in clear system to be stable and effective

If water quality is not good after use, only the Boost

level should be adjusted, not the Maintenance level

Set the maintenance level

Determining  the  proper  mainte-

nance  level  for  your  spa  is  an  ex-

tremely  important  step.  Using  your 

spa  while  you’re  establishing  the 

residual  will  slow  the  process.    Be 

patient.  Make sure you follow steps 

1 through 4 previously described be-

fore performing the following steps.

1. Power up your spa and activate the 

system by pressing the Boost key .

2. Press and hold the Prog key for 2 

seconds to enter maintenance lev-

el adjustment mode.  Your mainte-

nance value was set at the factory 

and should read 15 to start.  Leave 

the in

.

clear system running for 24 

hours to allow the bromine level to 

stabilize.  After that period, use test strips to check the bromine level.

3. Bromine level should be between 3-5 PPM. If the bromine level is within that range, 

you are ready to use your spa. If the bromine level is above 5 PPM, decrease the 

maintenance  level.

 

If  the  bromine  level  is  below  3  PPM,  increase  the 

maintenance  level.  Use  the  Up  and  Down  keys  to  adjust  maintenance  level.

The bromine generation rate ranges from 1 to 50, where 1 corresponds to the 

system’s  minimum  generating  rate  and  50  corresponds  to  the  maximum 

generation rate allowed by the system.

Do NOT increase/decrease maintenance level in steps greater than 2. 

Setting the maintenance level to a value that’s too high can cause damage 

to your equipment.

Check bromine level and always test water before entering the spa.

If the bromine level is higher than 5 PPM, lower the maintenance level and 

turn off the system until the bromine level is back below 5 PPM.  Then,    

restart the system and continue monitoring the bromine level.

To  lower  the  bromine  level,  expose  your  spa  water  to  the  sun  and  activate  all 

pumps for a few cycles.

Testing bromine levels with FAS-DPD drop count method is more accurate than 

using  test  strips.    Bromine  FAS-DPD  is  available  at  www.geckodepot.com  under 

number 0699-300008.
