Common Diagnostic Messages
Media
- The selected materials in a filter that form the barrier to the passage of certain suspend
-
ed solids or dissolved molecules.
Mineral Purification System (ThermoClear Cartridge)
- Mineral cartridges are placed in your
filter core and release silver and copper ions into the spa water. These ions kill bacteria and
virus’s. Activator must be used to oxidize the organic material the silver and copper ions have
killed. Very low levels of chlorine (0.5 ppm) or Bromine (1 ppm) are recommended as a safety
precaution.
Mineral Sanitizer
- A sanitation system that releases very low levels of silver ions into the water
which assist in controlling bacteria 24 hours per day. ThermoClear cartridges trap bacteria that
approach it’s surface. Activator then assists in cremating (oxidizing) the dead bacteria within the
cartridge. The cartridge should be placed in the filter area.
Multi Purpose Cleaner
- An enzymatic cleanser used to clean scum lines and mineral deposits
off the shell and cabinet surface. This cleanser is pH neutral and will not affect water chemistry.
It should be used on a weekly basis and is also a good cleaner to prep your shell for a coating of
Acrylic Gloss.
Natural and Clear
- A natural enzyme used to devour oils and organic material (skin,hair etc..)
left in the spa by bathers that cannot be burned off by oxidizers, sanitizers or disinfectants used
in spa sanitation.
Oxidize
- To destroy and burn off all the dirt and inorganic or dead organic matter in the water. A
sanitizer can oxidize materials such as ammonia, nitrogen-containing contaminants and swimmer
waste.
Ozone
- is “active oxygen”, nature’s special molecule (an ozone molecule consists of three ox
-
ygen atoms). It is created in nature by the combination of oxygen in the air, and ultraviolet rays
or by the electrical discharge during a lightning storm. Ozone is a natural purifier (meaning no
harmful chemical by-products are created during purification), it has a clean, fresh scent noticed
after a rainstorm. Ozone is the most powerful oxidizer that can be safely used in a spa and is
the alternative water purifier to traditional spa chemicals such as chlorine and bromine. Because
ozone is a disinfectant it will allow you to reduce your sanitizer usage. It is always recommended
that a 1 – 3 ppm sanitizer level be maintained with any ozone system.
pH
- The scale of relative acidity. Measurements are expressed in numbers from 0 - 14, with 7.0
being neutral. Acceptable spa ranges are 7.2 – 7.8
pH Down
- Used to decrease both the pH and Alkalinity levels of your spa water
pH Up
- Used to Increase both the pH and Alkalinity levels of your spa water.
PPM
- Abbreviation for ‘parts per million’, the unit of measurement used in chemical testing which
indicates the parts by weight in relation to one million parts by weight of water.
Protection Plus
- A high powered metal sequestering agent used to keep mineral and metal
deposits from forming on the shell. This product also adds a clarifier to screen the water of fine
particulate unable to be caught by your filter.
