Set the maintenance level
Determining the proper maintenance level for your spa is
an extremely important step. DO NOT use your spa during
this step as it will slow the process. Be patient. Make sure you
follow steps 1 through 4 of the Before Starting section before
performing the following steps.
1. Power up your spa and activate the system by pressing the
Boost key.
2. Make sure your maintenance level is set to 15. To adjust
the level, press and hold the Program key for 2 seconds,
then use the Up and Down keys to adjust the maintenance
level. The bromine generation rate ranges from 1 to 50,
where 1 corresponds to the system’s minimum generating
rate and 50 corresponds to the maximum generation rate
allowed by the system.
OPTIONAL: Set the boost to level 2 to help build up the
bromine bank faster and speed up the startup process.
3. Use a test kit to check the bromine level every 12-24
hours*. The bromine level should be between 3-5 PPM. If
the bromine level is within that range for 3 consecutive
days, you are ready to use your spa. If the bromine level
is above 5 PPM, decrease the maintenance level. If the
bromine level is below 3 PPM, increase the maintenance
level.
4. Repeat step 3 until bromine is stable between 3 and 5
PPM for 3 consecutive days.
Do NOT increase/decrease maintenance level in steps
greater than 2.
Setting the maintenance level to a value that's too high
can cause damage to your equipment.
Check bromine level and always test water before
entering the spa.
If the bromine level is higher than 5 PPM, lower the
maintenance level and turn off the system until the
bromine level is back below 5 PPM Then, restart the
system and continue monitoring the bromine level.
To lower the bromine level, expose your spa water to the sun
and activate all pumps for a few cycles.
* Testing bromine levels with FAS-DPD drop count
method is more accurate than using test strips. Bromine
FAS-DPD is available at www.geckodepot.com under
number 0699-300008.
DETERMINE THE BOOST LEVEL
Every time you use your spa, activate the boost mode. As a
rule of thumb, the boost level corresponds to the number of
bathers using the spa. For example, activate the boost level
to 2 if two bathers are entering the spa.
1. With the system in maintenance mode, press the Boost
key to activate the Boost mode.
2. The keypad display will show a numeric value that
corresponds to the selected level. There are 8 possible
levels available with the boost mode. Set the boost level
by using the up and down arrow to select the number of
bathers that use the spa.
3. Confirm the selection by pressing the Boost key again or
wait 5 seconds for the system to save the desired level and
activate the Boost cycle.
Note: The in.clear keeps the last used boost level in
memory.
4. At the end of the boost period, verify that the bromine lev-
el has returned to the 3-5 PPM range. If the bromine level
is too low or too high after the Boost period, the boost
level should be adjusted the next time the spa is used.
For example, if bromine level is higher than 5 PPM after a
boost of 2, lower the boost level to 1 the next time. Repeat
these steps until you are able to determine the ideal boost
level for your usage.
Note: Boost levels depend on the number of bathers using the
spa. We recommend you validate the Boost level after each use
to determine the ideal boost level for all numbers of bathers.
Changing the water temperature setpoint of your spa,
or using the economy mode, could require a change
in the maintenance level of your in.clear. Lower water
temperatures may require a lower maintenance level
than higher temperature setpoints. Please check your
bromine level when changing your temperature set-
point or using the economy mode of your spa.
Never adjust the maintenance level of your in.clear
without allowing at least 24 hours following the end
of the boost period. Boost cycles allow the residual
bromine level to stabilize. Bromine levels outside
the 3-5 PPM range may result from pollutants following
usage.
Linked version only: If the pack connected to the in.clear
detects spa use (pumps, blower, or lights active) for 5 minutes
without a boost, it will automatically start a boost at the last
used level. This is a security feature only, and should not be
used to replace the boost setting. Incorrect boost settings for
the bather load could damage spa parts and/or be hazardous
to bathers.
