Installation Instructions
The Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner is designed for easy replacement within your compatible hot tub system. Refer to your hot tub's owner's manual for specific instructions on locating and replacing the existing silver ion cartridge or filter.
- Turn off Power: Ensure the hot tub's power supply is completely disconnected before beginning installation.
- Locate Cartridge Housing: Identify the housing for the silver ion cartridge, typically found within the filter compartment or a dedicated slot.
- Remove Old Cartridge: Carefully remove the old, depleted silver ion cartridge. Dispose of it according to local regulations.
- Insert New Cartridge: Insert the new Hot Spring Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner into the housing, ensuring it is securely seated.
- Restore Power: Once the new cartridge is in place, restore power to the hot tub.
- Initial Water Balance: After installation, test your spa water and adjust pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness as needed to ensure optimal performance of the silver ion cleaner.
Operation
The Hot Spring Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner operates continuously once installed. It works by releasing silver ions into the spa water, which helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria and maintain water clarity. This product is designed to work in conjunction with your hot tub's filtration and ozone (if applicable) systems.
No daily user interaction is required for the operation of this cleaner beyond ensuring proper water balance and filtration.
Maintenance and Replacement
The Hot Spring Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner is designed to be effective for approximately four months under normal spa usage conditions. After this period, the silver ions will be depleted, and the cartridge will need to be replaced to maintain water quality.
- Regular Water Testing: Continue to test your spa water regularly (e.g., weekly) for pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels.
- Cartridge Replacement: Replace the silver ion cartridge every four months, or as indicated by your hot tub's control system or water quality.
- Filter Cleaning: Ensure your hot tub filters are regularly cleaned and replaced as recommended by your hot tub manufacturer to support the overall water sanitation system.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with water clarity or quality after installing the Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
