G.) Starting Up the System
Once the Desired Level is Obtained
Once the desired level is obtained, you will need to find a setting point on the control box
where the ion readings will remain in that range of 0.15 and 0.20. The biggest factor is
water temperature.
When you lower your setting, it is best to test on a daily basis. If the readings continue to go
up, lower the setting and retest the following day at about the same time. If the reading
goes down, turn the control knob up, and test again the next day. Eventually you will find
the proper setting. Once you do, the setting will stay near that the entire season. If your
spa/hot tub is open year round, like in Florida, you will have a lower setting in the winter
and a higher setting in the summer.
Maybe make some notes of your seasonal setting on
page 23 (notes) to make season changes quick and easy.
Indicator Lights
On the face plate of the
SPA-1R
control box are two indicator lights.
- Alternating Electrode Indicators
- lets you know a charge is going to the electrodes. One light should come on at a
time, meaning a charge is going to one of the electrodes. Every 65 seconds or so, the polarity will alternate - and the other
light will come on.

DEALER OR CLEARWATER ENVIRO FOR ANY ASSISTANCE.
• Keep the pH between 7.2 and 7.6
• Keep total alkalinity between 80-120ppm
• Maintain Ion level between 0.15 and 0.20 ppm
• Maintain normal spa/hot tub maintenance – keep filter cleaned, empty baskets, etc.
• Add an occasional oxidizer
Adding an Occasional Oxidizer
An occasional oxidizer is necessary to burn off body oils, suntan lotions, and particles that get into the water and can
cause cloudiness. Always add an oxidizer whenever the water loses its "sparkle". Don't wait for the water to get
cloudy, or an extra dose will be required.
There are several oxidizer options:
Non-chlorine
shock - Add one (1) ounce of potassium monopersulfate (non-chlorine shock) per 300 gallons once a week
during the warm weather season, less frequently during the cooler weather, or when the water loses its "sparkle". You
may also want to add some non-chlorine shock after a rainstorm if the spa/hot tub was left uncovered. These are
available in most spa/pool stores, or at
Leslie's Swimming Pool Supplies
