Now you can stop using heavy sanitizer levels! All you need to do is maintain a constant chlorine level as
low as .2 ppm with chlorine tabs or other chlorine. It has been proven that maintaining .2 ppm chlorine and
.2 ppm copper is more effective sanitation than using just chlorine at 2 ppm.
7.
Test the copper level at least once a week until you have found the proper setting for your spa. Now you
should only need to test the copper level once or twice a month because the copper level does not dissipate
like sanitizers.
8.
Do not over ionize your spa. When the level reaches .3 ppm turn the control down and adjust as necessary
to maintain .3 ppm. If the copper level reaches .5 ppm turn the ionizer to MIN until the level drops to .3
ppm. If algae are ever present in the pool, shock the pool to 5 to 10 ppm, add a non-copper algaecide, and
maintain 3 ppm of chlorine until all algae are gone.
9.
Maintain the pH at 7.2 to 7.6. Failure to maintain your pH could result in staining if the pH is allowed to
drift above 8.0.
10.
If you have an inline cell, at least once a year remove the electrodes and inspect them. It is normal for the
electrodes to have a bluish green coating on them but they should not be clogged with a buildup between the
electrodes.
11.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, PLEASE REED THE THROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE BELOW
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Please read this guide before calling your dealer or the manufacturer.
PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
1.
Low Copper Level
Output Control setting to low
Insufficient Chlorine Shocks
Worn Out Electrodes
Equipment Failure
Increase Output Control setting
Shock water with chlorine and test for at least 5 ppm after 30
minutes
Check electrodes for wear. If they have worn to small stubs,
they need replaced.
Check CELL POWER light. It should always be on if the
sun is shinning
2. High copper level
Output Control setting to high
To much Instant Ions added to
pool
Set control to MIN until copper level is below .3 ppm. This
may take a few weeks.
Set control to MIN until copper level is below .3 ppm. This
may take a few weeks.
3. Cloudy Water
Insufficient Chlorine level
Dirty filter
Low copper level
Shock water with chlorine and test for at least 5 ppm after 30
minutes. Shock whenever the water just begins to cloud.
Check and clean filter
