Important Safety Instructions (Read, Follow, and Save all Instructions)
_WARNING: Operate the ACE° salt water sanitizing system only according to these
instructions.
WARNING: Do not energize or operate the unit if the cell housing is damaged or
improperly assembled.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cords or cell
immediately.
WARNING: Remove power from the spa before performing any maintenance or
troubleshooting.
CAUTION: To avoid damage DO NOT insert any objects into the cell.
CAUTION: Prior to using the spa, check water parameters and adjust if necessary.
When using the spa, the chlorine level must be maintained between 1-5 ppm.
Supplement sanitizer generation with dichlor or MPS as needed. The ACE system
is compatible with diclor, MPS, and silver. It is NOT compatible with bromine or
BaquaSpao/biguanide.
Disclaimer: This is not an automatic water care system. The system is sized for the typical
user. Heavy users may need to supplement sanitizer generation with dichlor or MPS.
THE SPA OWNER IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING PROPER SANITARY
WATER CONDITIONS.
Carefully review the entire Owner's Manual before using the ACE system, and keep this
manual available for reference. If you have any questions about your ACE salt water
sanitizing system's set-up, operation, or maintenance, contact your authorized Hot Spring°
dealer.
Overview of the ACE System
The ACE° salt water sanitizing system automatically generates powerful cleaners to improve
your hot tub ownership experience. The ACE system makes water care easy, provides
better quality water, and with proper care, allows spa water to last much longer than with
traditional water care—up to 12 months*.
*Visit www.hotspring.com/save-water for more information.
The ACE Cell - Installed in the circulation pump filter of your Highlife Collection or Limelight
Collection spa, the ACE cell contains a diamond electrode that generates active oxygen,
chlorine and other cleaners. Depending upon your spa usage, source water make-up and
proper cell maintenance,the average ACE cell life is 2-3 years. To maximize ACE cell life:
clean and inspect the cell a minimum of every 90 days, keep spa water balanced and
maintain a calcium hardness level of 50 ppm.
The ACE Cleaning Cycle-The ACE system cleans the water with active oxygen first, before
it creates a measurable amount of chlorine. While the system is cleaning the spa water, you
will not get a chlorine reading on your test strip. If the chlorine level is at 0, add bottled
dichlor or allow the system more time to build and maintain a chlorine level.
Calcium Hardness-To ensure effectiveness of the ACE system and maximize ACE cell life,
keep the calcium hardness level of the water between 25-75 PPM. There are two options to
reduce hardness:
1. Vanishing Act Calcium Remover. The standard Vanishing Act can remove up to 100
ppms of calcium hardness from spa water after the hot tub has been filled, or after
the spa has been topped off. The XL version can remove up to 300 ppm. Follow
instructions on the box.
2. On the Go Portable Water Softener (sold separately). The On The Go portable
water softener allows you to fill your spa with softened water at start up, and
when you need to top the spa off. If you live in a region with hard water we highly
recommend the On the Go portable water softener.
Supplemental Water Care Products-To properly maintain your spa water you will need
additional water care products, some of which are included with your ACE system.The items
included are:
Vanishing Act° Calcium Remover
• FreshWater° Spa Salt
• ACE Cell Cleaning Bottle
• FreshWater 5-way Test Strips
• FreshWater Salt Test Strips
Sold separately:
• Clean Screen® Pre-Filter
• Freshwater pH/Alkalinity Up and pH/Alkalinity down
• Freshwater Concentrated Chlorinating granules.

• On the Go Portable° water softener (if needed)
• Vanishing Act" Calcium Remover XL (if needed)
• Freshwater' Cell Cleaner

hot-tub-system
Spa Owner Responsibilities
Always maintain balanced spa water. Use a test strip to test/adjust water at start-up and
beyond. Ensure that pH and alkalinity levels stay within the OK range. Keep total hardness
between 25-75 ppm. Use the Vanishing Act calcium remover as needed.
Test for chlorine regularly. Use a test strip. The recommended chlorine level is between 1
and 5 ppm. Add FreshWater Concentrated Chlorinated Granules to supplement the system
as needed. You can reduce the chlorine level in the spa water by adding hydrogen peroxide.
Adjust Output level as needed. To maximize cell life, keep the output level set as low as
possible to meet your needs. If your use pattern changes you will need to adjust the output
level up or down accordingly. The boost function or Freshwater Concentrated Chlorinating
Granules can be used on occasions when more chlorine is needed.
Clean the ACE cell.The cell should be cleaned at a minimum of once every 90 days. High
levels of hardness in the water will mean the cell should be cleaned more frequently.
Keep the filters clean. Dirty filters can impact the ACE systems ability to maintain spa water.
Clean filters every 30 days to ensure optimal ACE system performance.
30-day check-up. Every 30 days test and balance spa water, confirm your output setting,
rinse filters, and shock with FreshWater Concentrated Chlorinating Granules. A 30-day timer
will remind you to perform this step.
Getting Started
Fill your Spa
Fill the spa using the CleanScreen° pre-filter (with the valve 50% closed at a 452 angle). Soft
water can be used to fill the spa.
If you have hard water, fill the spa using the On the Go portable water softener or other soft
water source. Ensure hardness no lower than 25 ppm by topping the spa off with a small
amount of tap water.
If you are filling with well water or have metal issues see TREATING FOR METALS in the trou-
bleshooting section for additional instructions.
NOTE: If you are not filling your spa for the first time, clean your filters with Filter Cleaner or
replace with new filters, before refilling spa.
Page 2 ACE SaltSanitizing
System Start-up
1. Test and balance spa water using a 5-way test strip. Measure pH, Total Alkalinity, and
Hardness levels, to determine if your water is in the "OK" ranges specified for the ACE°
system (see table below) and adjust as needed.
ACE System Target Min - "OK" Range - Max
Parameter
Salt 1750 ppm 1500 ppm 2000 ppm
Hardness 50 ppm 25 ppm 75 ppm
Alkalinity 80 ppm 40 ppm 120 ppm
pH 7.4 7.2 7.8
Chlorine 3 ppm 1 ppm 5 ppm
2. Reduce Hardness if needed. Using the Vanishing Act calcium remover may take 24
hours or longer. Rinse the calcium remover before use, and follow instructions on the
box. Continue the start-up process while the calcium remover is working; be sure to
reposition the bag after jets are turned on/off. Ensure that the calcium level reaches 50
ppm. Additional Vanishing Acts may be required.
3. Treat for metals if needed. See troubleshooting.
4. Add Salt based on your spa model size one cup at a time to the filter compartment with
jets running. Add 1 cup (675 gm) per 100 gallons (378 liters). Run jets for 5 minutes to
allow salt to dissolve. Verify salt level with salt test strips.
5. Add Freshwater® Concentrated Chlorinated Granules as directed on the bottle to
create a chlorine residual of 5 ppm. Allow jets to run for 5 minutes per jet system,
rotating diverter valves.
6. Turn the ACE system ON. Use your spa's control panel.
7. Enter Output level. Access the Water Care menu. Scroll through Output Levels
(0=system off, 10=maximum output) by pressing the soft button near the word Output
on the Standard Control Panel or press the ® or U on the Wireless Remote Control
Panel. The recommended Output Level at start-up is between 3 and 5 depending on the
spa size.
Note: It may take up to 24 hours for the ACE System Status to register in the green/OK
range of the system status bar.
24 Hours Later
Test spa water with a Freshwater 5-way test strip. Adjust alkalinity and pH as needed. If
hardness is above 50 ppm, use additional calcium removers at this time.
If there is not a measurable amount of chlorine in the spa water after 24 hours, the
ACE system is still cleaning the water. If there are contaminants in the fill water or if
you use the spa heavily initially, it may take the ACE system a few days to clean the spa
water and keep up with your chlorine demand.
ACE Salt Waters System CIO '
You can still enjoy your spa, simply add FreshWater Concentrated Chlorinated Granules
to the water to achieve a chlorine level of 3 ppm. Repeat this as needed until your test
strip shows that the ACE° system is sustaining a minimum of 1 ppm residual of chlorine
in the water.
Ongoing Maintenance
Test spa water with a 5-way strip regularly (at least once every A week)
- The pH level may increase during the first few weeks after start-up. Add pH down if
needed.
- Use the Vanishing Act calcium remover to reduce hardness to 50 ppm as needed.
- Adjust output setting to maintain 1-5 ppm chlorine.
Monthly: Test the water, shock & confirm output level
Ensure water is balanced. Confirm/adjust output setting via the control panel.
- Shock the water with granular chlorine to 5ppm and flush all jet systems.
Inspect Cell.
Clean the ACE Cell (at least once every 90 days)
- Visually inspect the ACE cell for calcium scale between the plates (if fill water has
hardness over 50ppm inspect cell monthly).
- Clean the cell as needed, or at least once every three months following instruction on
the cell cleaning solution or cell cleaning bottle.

Features & Settings
Output Level:
The ACE° system cleans the water throughout the day. The output setting of 0-10
determines how long the cell runs each day. Observe your usage patterns and measure
the chlorine level before each use to guide your output setting. Adjust output up or down
to increase or decrease output. Keep your setting as low as possible to maintain 1-5 pm
chlorine. Use Boost or add Freshwater Concentrated Chlorine Granules for occasional high
use situations.
Output Settings
0 No output/System off
1 Vacation/low output mode
2-7 Normal use settings (recommended)
8-9 High use settings
10 Maximum system output, equal to Boost (system runs constantly)
Turning the ACE System off
By setting Output to 0, the system will stop generating sanitizers. You will need to manually
maintain the sanitizer level using FreshWater Concentrated Chlorinated Granules if the ACE
system is off.
Vacation or limited use
When the spa is not going to be in use, shock the spa by increasing chlorine to 3-5 ppm and
then run the automatic clean cycle. Clean or replace filters. Lower Output to 2. For extended
vacations, lower Output to 1 for low output mode.
Boost:
The Boost feature activates the ACE cell for 24 hours of consistent operation, overriding the
output setting. The system returns to its previous setting once the Boost cycle is over. Use
the Boost function to gradually increase the chlorine level prior to a high use situation.
SanitizingACE Salt Water System '• • -
Freshwater Concentrated Chlorine Granules can also be added to create an immediate
chlorine residual to remove bather load and assist the ACE° system in building a sanitizer
residual.
30 Day Reminder:
You must check your spa water at least once every 30 days.To remind you, the green light on
the logo light and the ACE water care icon will flash and the status message will read, Check
Water/Confirm Output at the,end of each 30-day cycle.
1. Test and balance spa water using a 5-way test strip. Measure chlorine, pH,Total Alkalin-
ity, and Hardness levels, to determine if your water is in the "OK" ranges specified for
the ACE system. Adjust as needed. Reduce Hardness to 50 ppm using the Vanishing Act
calcium remover if needed.
2. Confirm output setting. Access the Water Care menu.To clear the 30 day reminder:

Cell Cleaning
The cell should be cleaned a minimum of every 3 months.A dirty cell requires the ACE°
system to work harder than necessary, and can shorten the life of the cell. A dirty cell can also
cause your System Status to register low, (in the yellow) and cause the system to go off line.
Prevent Cell Damage: NEVER insert anything into the cell or pressure wash it. This will dam-
age the electrodes.
1. Turn off the power to the spa. Open the spa cover and remove the filter lid.
2. Unscrew gray filter cap and gently pull the cell out of the filter.
3. Inspect the cell for scale by looking between the electrodes.
4. Unscrew the lid to the ACE Cell Cleaner (or create a cleaning solution by following the
instruction on the cell cleaning bottle included with the ACE system.)
NOTE: A stronger cleaning solution of 1 part muriatic pool acid and 10 parts water, or a
commercial cell cleaner, can be used if scale is excessive.
5. Remove the lid and place the ACE cell in the solution, ensuring that the bottom of cell is
floating.
6. Soak the cell for 1,0 minutes or until bubbles stop coming from the cell. If bubbles are
still releasing from the cell after 10 minutes, continue soaking until the cell is clean and
all scale is removed.
7. Rinse cell and inspect for cleaning completion. Repeat as needed.
8. Replace cell into the filter standpipe. Screw on the gray filter cap, replace the filter lid,
and power up the spa. Ensure that the cell is at the bottom of the filter standpipe by
feeling for the pull of the pump's suction.
Troubleshooting
Treating for Metals:
High metal content can cause staining and discolored water. It's important that metals are
removed before starting up the ACE system.
1. Fill the spa with the Clean Screen® pre-filter, ensuring that the valve is only 50% open
(45' angle).
2. Ensure that there is no ozone unit installed and that the ACE system is turned off.
3. Add FreshWater Stain & Scale metal control according to the instructions on the bottle.
4. Place a Vanishing Act Calcium remover over the heater return.
5. DO NOT add oxidizers (chlorine, ozone, ACE) for at least 24 hours.
Flashing On/Ready light and Water Care Icon
The green ON indicator light, in the Hot Spring logo on the front of your spa will slowly flash
when the ACE system requires attention. The water care icon on the main control panel will
also flash as an indication that some action is needed. Access the ACE system menu to read
the System Status Message.
s1 / ' 8 ACE Salto I
NOTE: You may continue to use your spa as long as the chlorine level on the FreshWater®
test strip is in the OK range. Add granular chlorine as needed.
System Status Low (Yellow):
The system status reading can be affected by cell age, scale build-up (dirty cell), cold water,
high chlorine, dirty filters, or dirty water.
1. Verify water temperature
a. The status reading will read lower in cooler water. To get an accurate status
reading, ensure water is above 95. F
2. Verify salt level
Use a salt test strip to measure salt level. If the test strip shows salt level is low:
a. Add (1) cup of salt to the water and circulate for 5 minutes.
b. Retest with a salt test strip, and repeat until salt level reads in the OK range.
c. Run a manual status test to refresh. If System Status still reads low,
check for other conditions noted above.
3. Verify chlorine level
Use a 5-way test strip to measure chlorine level. If the test strip shows chlorine level is
high (above 5 ppm):
a. Add 1 cup hydrogen peroxide with jets running. Check chlorine level after 10
minutes.
b. Retest with a test strip and repeat as needed
4. Visually inspect and clean the cell
a. Follow the cell cleaning process to ensure that scale has not accumulated on the
cell.
b. Once the cell has been cleaned, replace the cell in the filter standpipe.
c. Run a manual Status Test to refresh.
5. Visually inspect and clean filters (refer to spa owner's manual).
6. If the System Status message continues to read low, it may be an indication that it is
time to replace the cell. Call your authorized Hot Spring Dealer for further instructions.
System Status High (Red): J
If the Status indicator is in the,red, this typically indicates that there is too much salt in the
water.
G
1. If the status reading is less than halfway in the red use a salt test strip to measure salt
level. If the test strip shows salt level is high:
a. Drain 25% of the water from the spa and refill with clean, clear water.
b. Retest with a salt test strip, and repeat until salt level reads in the OK range.
c. Run a manual Status Test to refresh.
2. If the salt indicator is more than halfway in the red part, drain completely and refill
following the Start-up and Refill Procedure.

• High pH. Use a 5-way Freshwater® test strip to check spa pH level. Add pH
down as needed.
• Low chlorine. Use a 5-way FreshWater test strip. If chlorine is low, manually
add granular dichlor as needed to shock spa for 24—48 hours.
• Dirty filter. Check filters and clean as needed (see your spa's Owner's Manual).
No Chlorine Reading:
The ACE system cleans spa water differently than bottled chlorine. Since the water is cleaned
before the chlorine residual is established, only a small chlorine residual is needed. If there
appears to be no chlorine in the water:
• Check Output settings. If you are using the spa heavily, your use level may require
you to increase the Output setting to a higher number.
• Increase Salt Level. Keep the salt level near the high-end of the OK range
(1750 ppm) to ensure maximum chlorine generation.
It is very important that you shock the spa water with FreshWater Concentrated Chlorinated
Granules at start-up. Skipping this step can prevent the ACE° system from establishing a
chlorine residual.
If the ACE system is running at the maximum output setting and still not able to keep up with
-your chlorine demands, manually add Chlorine granules.
High Chlorine Level:
The ACE system will continue to produce chlorine according to the selected Output level,
regardless of whether you use your spa or not. If you begin to use your hot tub less
frequently, it is important that you adjust the Output setting down. If the chlorine level is too
high:
• Check Output settings. Check settings. Your Output may require you to
decrease the setting to a lower number.
• Reduce chlorine level. Add 1 cup hydrogen peroxide with jets running.
Check chlorine level after 10 minutes and repeat as needed.
Tips:
• Calcium Hardness: Use the Vanishing Act calcium remover to keep total hardness
levels low and minimize the need for anti-scalant& metal control. ON THE GOO
portable water softeners are recommended for ACE owners in hard water areas.
• Heavy Use. Initiate a Boost a few hours prior. Periodically measure the chlorine and
add granular sodium dichlor as need.
• MPS use. Granular MPS (Potassium Peroxymonosulfate) can be used in place of
chlorine granules to establish a sanitizer residual at start-up, and for shocking the
spa at each 30-day check-up. Use FreshWater MPS test strips to measure MPS levels
in the spa water if MPS is preferred.
• Metal Treatment. If metals are present be sure to discuss this with your Hot Spring
dealer. Use a Vanishing Act and Stain and Scale control for 24 hours before adding
oxidizer from granular chlorine, ozone, or turning the ACE° system on. Excessive
use of phosphate anti-scalant will promote high phosphate levels which can cause
scale and weaken chlorine output.
• Mixed Oxidants.To clean the water, the ACE salt water sanitizing system generates
a variety of mixed oxidants, in addition to chlorine. The chlorine reading on the test
strip may not be indicative of total oxidizer level.
• Ozone.The ACE system should be capable of maintaining a sufficient sanitizer level,
and adding ozone is not recommended.
• Phosphates. High levels of phosphates (above 300 ppb) may cause reduced
sanitizer output, ask your local Hot Spring ® dealer to help you test for phosphates.
• Salt level. Salt is not consumed during sanitizer production. The salt level is only re-
duced by adding water to the spa. Using the spa and adding chemicals will increase
the salt level over time.
• Salt buildup. Periodically hose off your spa and the deck or concrete surrounding
your spa after use to prevent salt buildup that can occur from splash-out.
• Summer Timer.The Summer Timer will decrease the chlorine generation time of
the ACE system. If the spa's Summer Timer is activated,the Output will most likely
need to be increased to compensate. If chlorine level is low, adjust Output up by
one each day until 1-5 ppm is maintained. Add granular chlorine to compensate.
• Water Changes. Because the ACE salt water sanitizing system reduces the amount
of chemicals added to the spa water, it is possible to significantly extend the life of
the water. Test your water regularly to ensure safety.
Important Additional Information
WARNING: Operating ACE without water flow through the cell can cause a build up of
flammable gas.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this device.
WARNING: Spa usage and higher temperatures may require higher chlorine output to
maintain proper free available chlorine residuals.
WARNING: Maintaining high salt and chlorine levels above recommended range can
contribute to corrosion of pool or spa equipment.
Check the expiration date of test strips as test results may be inaccurate if used after
that date.
When replacing the cell, only use replacement cells having a label the clearly states that
it is a replacement cell for the chlorine generating ACE device.
Follow all aspects of the local and National Electrical Codes) when installing ACE.
Maximum spa water usage temperature is 1042 F (402 C). Bathing in spa water at maxi-
mum temperature should not exceed 15 minutes.
