3.10.3 Program Filtration Cycles/Filtration
Duration
The system will automatically perform 4 one hour ltration cycles per day, 6 hours apart. The
above system factory ltration settings can be adjusted by the consumer through:
• onTub power management using your device such as smart phone or tablet that has been
connected to your Tub through WiFi. Refer onTub user Guide.
• The settings. Refer COLDTUB COLDTUB Owners Manual.
The following steps provide guidance to help establish correct chemically balanced water.
To help ensure chemicals dissolve appropriately it is good practice to rst mix/dissolve the
chemical in an uncontaminated container of hot water before adding to the Tub water.
Step 1. Test and Adjust Total Alkalinity
Test Total Alkalinity. It should be 80 – 100 ppm (100 max). If high,
lower Total Alkalinity with COLDTUB Cold Water Run Down (pH
Down) or muriatic acid. Do not raise Total Alkalinity!
WARNING: Skipping this step on Start-up can cause scaling
problems and cloudy water that may not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: Use all products according to directions on the bottle.
Step 3. Mix Salt Crystals
Dissolve the required recommended salt dosage in a 5 Gallon
(20 litre) pail of hot water.
Pal Salt Dosage Chart contained in this guide.
Step 2. Test and Adjust pH
Test pH. Levels should be between 7.0 – 7.6.
If pH is high, (over 7.6) add COLDTUB Cold Water Run Down.
NOTE: Use all products according to directions on the bottle.
NOTE: Salt systems naturally drive pH levels to increase, strive to
achieve a Balanced pH level.
NOTE: High pH will cause calcium to precipitate (fall out of
suspension). The problem with calcium falling out of suspension is
that it collects on the heater and pump, and shortens their life.

Step 4. Add Salt to Tub Water & Re-Test TA / pH
(a) Slowly pour the dissolved salt from the pail into the Tub water.
(b) Run pumps for 5 minutes to help mix salt blend through.
(c) Wait 1 hour.
(d) Then re-test and adjust Total Alkalinity level accordingly.
(e) Then re-test and adjust pH level accordingly.
