Steps to Help Ensure Sodium Chloride Test Strips are Used Correctly Continued
Step 6. Sodium Chloride Adjustment
The following levels are ideal:
Minimum Maximum
2000 ppm 2500 ppm
Note: The Arctic Spas Onzen Salt Chart in this guide provides the
estimated impact of adding 1⁄2 lb (225 Grams) of salt to your spa.
Add or dilute water as needed.
· If Sodium Chloride reading is greater than the maximum
level, add water.
· If Sodium Chloride reading is less than the minimum level,
add salt.
Note: Once Sodium Chloride reading is in the ideal range salt
concentration will only change if water is splashed or drained out and
spa is replenished with water. Do not add salt unless this test confirms
the level is below the ideal range.
Warranty: Use of salt other than Arctic Pure sea salt blend will damage
the components and void the warranty. The Arctic Pure blend has been
developed to protect Onzen components from damage and the use of
alternative salt blends will be easily detected by technicians.
Steps to Stabilize Water
Step 1. Stabilize Spa Water
Once Filtration cycles and filtration duration low level settings have
been programmed place the insulated cover on the spa and allow
the water temperature to stabilize (approximately 16 hours). Make
sure you secure the cover in place using the cover locks. Periodically
check the spa water temperature. When the water temperature
climbs above 85°F, (29°C) proceed to the next step.
Note: As heat impacts both Calcium and Total Alkalinity a little it
is best to heat the water above 29°C (85°F) before advancing to
Establishing Correct Water Chemistry.
Filter Cycle Suspension
During a Filter cycle, if an accessory (a pump, the blower, or the light) is used manually, the Filter cycle is suspended during
the time that the accessories are used.
Once all accessories are turned off (whether manually or by built-in timer), the Filtration cycle remains suspended for an
extra 40 minutes. When a Filtration cycle is suspended the Filtration cycle icon will blink.
