GENERAL GUIDELINES

TESTING: the spa owner is responsible to maintain a routine for testing

your water (i.e., weekly, biweekly, etc.) to ensure guidance levels within

the specified ranges as stated in the 'Getting Started' section of this

guide are maintained. Adequate testing routine must include alkalinity,

pH, calcium, copper levels, and bacteria presence. Remember to check

expiration dates of the test strips/kits and replace as needed.

SANITATION: the spa owner is responsible to ensure the spa water is

free from bacteria. As a regular practice to ensure there is no bacteria,

test water regularly with a valid bacteria test kit. In the absence

of regular testing free chlorine may be used at any time. The CDC

recommends a minimum chlorine level of 3 parts per million in hot

tubs/spas.

FILTERS: cleaning filters is recommended after every 6-8 people have

soaked in the spa, or every 6-8 uses. It is recommended that you

replace the filters annually.

SHOCKING: the CLEAR system includes an ozone generator to oxidize

organic material, but an additional oxidizer may be needed if bather

load is unusually heavy. Use 2oz. of Potassium Monopersulfate (spa

shock) for every 6-8 people or 6-8 uses.

PHOSPHATES: the presence of phosphates can keep the system from

maintaining the proper level of copper ions. Phosphates can be found

in the source water or build up over time from cosmetics or detergents

found in swimwear. Ensure phosphates are at 100ppb or less by testing

phosphates on an algae free spa (chlorine must be below 5ppm). Use

PHOSfree or similar product to treat.

STAIN & SCALE or sequestering products conflict with CLEAR: DO

NOT USE. Stain & scale or other sequestering products will remove

the minerals from the water and neutralize new minerals for several

weeks.The Magnetic Field portion of CLEAR is designed to prohibit

scale. If iron or other contaminants are found in the source water, we

recommend using a filter that attaches to a garden hose prior to filling.

USAGE: the CLEAR system is intended for moderate, private usage.

Commercial uses including vacation rentals and general public use is

prohibited and will result in voiding of manufactures warranty.
