The spa comes with a built-in saltwater sanitation system. Common salt (sodium chloride) is
made up of two elements, sodium and chloride. During the installation of the device, a
measured quantity of salt is dissolved in the SPA water to make it slightly salty. The SPA water
fl ows through the sanitation system’s electrolytic cell to produce chlorine. The chlorine dissolves
in the water and instantly starts destroying bacteria and algae. It also oxidizes all other organic
materials.
• Which kind of salt to use:
Use only Sodium Chloride Salts
Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) salt that is at least 99.9% pure. It is also acceptable to use water
conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt). However, it will take a longer
time for them to dissolve.
Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored
salt.
Salt is added to the SPA water and the electrolytic cell uses the salt to create chlorine. The
purer the salt the better the performance of the electrolytic cell.
• Optimum Salt Levels
The ideal salt level in the SPA water is between 2000-3000 ppm (parts per million). The optimal
level is 2500 ppm.
A too low salt level will reduce the effi ciency of the sanitation system and result in low chlorine
production. Too high a salt level may damage the power supply and cause corrosion to metal
fi xtures and accessories. The salt in the SPA is constantly recycled. The loss of salt is due only to
SPA water being physically removed from the SPA. Salt is not lost due to evaporation.
• Adding Salt
1.
Switch the JET pump on to start the water circulation.
2.
Keep the sanitation system turned off.
3.
Evenly spread 4.4 lbs / 2 kg (for 4 adults’) of salt around the inside perimeter of the SPA. For
six adults’: 5.5 lbs / 2.5 kg of salt.
4.
Brush the SPA bottom to speed up the dissolving process. Do not allow salt to pile up on the
bottom of the SPA. Run the JET pump for one hour to thoroughly dissolve the salt.
5.
When all the salt is dissolved, press the sanitizer button to activate the sanitation system
(see “Sanitation System Operating Instructions” section), code “003H” is fl ashing and set the
sanitation system to desired operating hours.
NOTE:
DO NOT press any other buttons on the
control panel, and attach the spa cover during the sanitizing process.
• Removing Salt if Salt Level is too high
If too much salt has been added, the unit will beep and display “E92” (see “LED Code Chart”). If
this happens, turn off the sanitation system by pressing the ON/OFF button , and unplug the
spa. You will need to lower the salt concentration. The only way to do so is to partially drain the
SPA and refi ll it with fresh water. Drain and refi ll approximately 25% of the SPA water until the “E92”
alarm code disappears.
• Adding Salt if Salt Level is too low
If not enough salt has been added, the unit will beep and display “E91” (see “LED Code Chart”).
If this happens, turn off the sanitation system by pressing the ON/OFF button , unplug the
spa and wait 10 seconds. Plug and turn on the spa, add 1.1 lbs / 0.5 kg increment of salt until the
“E91” alarm code disappears (see “Adding Salt” section).
