Safety Information
Always adhere to the following safety guidelines when handling and using the Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner:
- Keep out of reach of children. This product contains chemicals that can be harmful if ingested or if they come into contact with skin or eyes.
- Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.
- Do not mix this product with other chemicals unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and eye protection, when handling the cleaner.

Setup and Installation
The Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner is designed for easy installation into compatible hot tub models. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Turn off the hot tub power: Before beginning installation, ensure the hot tub's power supply is completely disconnected to prevent accidental operation.
- Locate the filter compartment: Open the filter compartment of your hot tub. The exact location may vary by model, but it is typically accessible from the top of the spa.
- Remove the old cartridge (if applicable): If replacing an existing silver ion cleaner, carefully remove the old cartridge from its housing.
- Insert the new cartridge: Take the new Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner (Model 71325-2) out of its packaging. Orient the cartridge correctly and gently push it into the designated housing within the filter compartment until it is securely seated. Refer to your hot tub's specific manual for precise placement if unsure.
- Close the filter compartment: Securely close the filter compartment cover.
- Restore power: Reconnect the hot tub's power supply. The cleaner will begin to work as water circulates through the system.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner operates continuously to sanitize your spa water. It works in conjunction with a small amount of chlorine or bromine to maintain water clarity and hygiene.
- Regular Water Testing: Continue to test your spa water regularly (at least 2-3 times per week) for pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, and sanitizer levels.
- Sanitizer Levels: The silver ion cleaner reduces the need for high levels of traditional sanitizers. Maintain a low residual of chlorine (e.g., 0.5-1.0 ppm) or bromine (e.g., 1.0-2.0 ppm) as recommended by your hot tub manufacturer.
- Shock Treatment: Periodically shock your spa water as needed, especially after heavy use, to oxidize contaminants.
- Filter Cleaning: Ensure your spa filters are cleaned regularly to allow for proper water flow and effective operation of the silver ion cleaner.

Maintenance
The Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner is designed for continuous use and requires minimal maintenance itself, but its effectiveness depends on overall spa maintenance:
- Cartridge Replacement: The silver ion cartridge typically lasts for approximately four months. Mark your calendar for replacement. After four months, the silver ions are depleted, and the cartridge should be replaced with a new one.
- Spa Water Draining and Refilling: It is recommended to drain and refill your hot tub every 3-4 months, coinciding with the replacement of the silver ion cartridge.
- Filter Maintenance: Regularly rinse your spa filters and perform a deep chemical cleaning every few months to ensure optimal filtration.
- Water Balance: Consistently monitor and adjust pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness to keep your water balanced, which enhances the performance of the silver ion cleaner and protects your spa components.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your spa water quality while using the Freshwater Ag+ Continuous Silver Ion Cleaner, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudy Water | Insufficient sanitizer, dirty filter, high bather load, unbalanced water chemistry, depleted silver ion cartridge. | Test water and adjust sanitizer levels. Clean or replace filters. Shock the spa. Balance water chemistry. Replace silver ion cartridge if it's been 4 months. |
| Algae Growth | Low sanitizer levels, poor circulation. | Increase sanitizer levels and shock the spa. Ensure jets are operating correctly. |
| Strong Odor | High levels of chloramines/bromamines, organic contaminants. | Shock the spa to break down contaminants. Ensure proper ventilation. |
| Cartridge Not Seating Properly | Incorrect orientation, debris in housing. | Ensure correct orientation. Check for and remove any debris from the housing. |
