I.) Cleaning and/or Replacing the Electrodes (continued)
Ion – Test Kit Replacement
You should replace the reagents at least once a year. You can either replace the entire test kit (exactly as
supplied in the box when you received the
MineralPURE
SPA-1R
) or replace the reagents.
Replacement Ion Test Kit - Part # CLA-41 -
Includes new complete test kit as supplied with the
SPA-1R
.
Replacement Reagents - Part # CLA-42 -
Includes new reagent bottles of “A” and “B” only.

Cloudy Water or Algae Present
If algae is present, you must take steps to solve the reason it formed. First, brush the algae. Add
chlorine/bromine to the spa/hot tub to oxidize. Check filtering system and backwash or clean filter. Check
the water chemistry - especially pH and total alkalinity. Make sure copper-ion level is in range. You may
need to oxidize more frequently if problems persist. Contact your
dealer
or
Clearwater Enviro Tech
for
help.
If cloudy water is a problem, add chlorine/bromine to clear it up. Again, make sure all chemistry readings are in
the proper range, and filter is clean. Usually, cloudy water is from a poor filtering system. Make sure you
oxidize on a timely basis. Never use granular chlorine without dissolving it first or pouring it directly into
the skimmer.
Can't Obtain the Proper Copper-Ion Level
If you are unable to obtain the proper ion level, check all of the following factors to solve the problem:
1.) High algae growth and cloudy water / Ion level too low.
A high algae growth or cloudy water will use
up all available copper ions in the water that the
SPA-1R
can produce. This would result in a low ion level.
Make sure the spa/hot tub water is balanced (see the rest of this section) and turn up the control knob to a
higher reading. Oxidize the water with chlorine/bromine.
2.) Correct sizing of the spa/hot tub.
If the spa/hot tub is larger than 3,000 gallons, you may need a stronger
system. Never undersize an ionizer unit, especially in warm water areas.
