STEP 6 – Remove Vanishing Act calcium remover after 24 hours – discard in
your normal trash
Using a new test strip, test spa water for Hardness. If Hardness level still reads 1.
above the recommend range of 25-75ppm, additional calcium removers will be
needed at this time.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the spa until the chlorine is between 3-5 ppm.
30-Day Check-up
You must check your spa water at least once every 30 days. To remind you, the ACE
water care icon will flash and the status message will read, “Monthly Maintenance” at the
end of each 30-day cycle. The 30-day cycle re-sets any time the Use Level is confirmed.
STEP 1
Use a FreshWater test strip to measure the pH, Total Alkalinity, and Hardness. 1.
Use the Spa Water Guidelines in this manual to determine if your spa water is
in the “OK” range.
Adjust pH and Total Alkalinity following instructions in the Water Quality and 2.
Maintenance section of your spa’s Owner’s Manual.
To decrease the Hardness level of the water, place a new Vanishing Act 3.
calcium remover over the heater return at the bottom of the spa for 24 hours.
STEP 2 – Access Water Care system menu
Press the 1. Options hard button, followed by the Water Care soft button on the
spa’s main control panel.
STEP 3 – Confirm Use Level
In the Water Care system menu, press the 1. Use Level soft button
If Use Level is correct, then use the soft buttons next to the up or down 2.
arrows to change the Use Level and then change it back to the original
setting. If chlorine level has been too low or too high, adjust Use Level
accordingly.
Adjusting the Use Level will cause the value on screen to flash. Once the 3.
correct Use Level is displayed, press the Confirm? soft button to enter
your selection. The value will stop flashing, and the “?” next to the word
Confirm will disappear. Allow 24 hours for a change in Use Level to
register in the chlorine reading on a test strip.
Press the 4. BACK hard button to return to the main menu.
NOTE: If the Use Level has not changed, you must still change the Use Level setting
on the spa’s control panel and then change it back, in order to re-set the thirty day timer
and stop the water care icon from flashing.
