Hot Tub  Start-Up: Chlorinating Concentrate with Silver ION

CONTINUOUS SILVER ION (AG+) PURIFIER

A Quick Start Guide To Your Hot Tub Chlorine Concentrate With Silver Ion, the FreshWater_Ag+ continuous silver ion purifier further reduces the need for chlorine by introducing silver ions into the spa water that inhibit bacterial growth. Insert the cartridge into the filter of your Hot Spring^® spa and the silver ions are released automatically — there's no chance of under or over-dosing. Simply replace the cartridge every four months.

First Time Start-Up

1. Fill your spa with water. If the make-up water is from a well or other non-municipal source, testing prior to refilling is recommended.
2. Super-oxidize the spa with Teddy Bear Chlorinating Concentrate with the spa circulation system on. Run all pumps at least one cycle.
3. Operate the spa circulation system for at least 2 hours.
4. Drain, then rinse interior surfaces and refill. Follow draining instructions in the owner’s manual. The reason for doing this is because spas are tested with water and when they are shipped there is some water in the plumbing. By super-oxidizing with a sanitizer during a pre-fill.Refill Guide
