System Status OK (Yellow)
The system continues to generate chlorine and operate normally when status reading is yellow.
- High salt (yellow right) or low salt (yellow left) will shift the status reading.
- Low water temperature will lower the status reading (yellow left).
- Dirty filters will lower the status reading (yellow left).
- Cartridge wear will lower the status reading (yellow left).
System Status Low (Red Left)
This status reading can be caused by cartridge age, scale buildup, cold water, high chlorine, dirty filters, or dirty water.
- Ensure water is above 95 degrees (status will read lower in cooler water).
- Use a FreshWater Salt Test Strip to measure the salt level and add salt if needed.
- Use a 5-Way Test Strip to measure the chlorine level – if too high, add 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide with the jets running.
- Dirty filters will lower the status reading (red left).
- Cartridge wear will lower the status reading (red left).
Cloudy Water
Cloudy water can be caused by high pH, low chlorine levels, or a dirty filter.
High Chlorine
The system will continue to produce chlorine according to the selected output level, regardless of your spa usage. If you begin to use the hot tub less frequently, it’s important to lower the output level.
