USER GUIDE
2 | User Guide
CLEAR is a state of the art water management system exclusive to
Clearwater. It combines four of the best technologies available to
provide you the best fresh water experience. Natural and virtually
chemical free water that just feels better.
CLEAR SYSTEM OVERVIEW
STAGE 1 Copper/Silver Ionization System: Puries
water using safe and natural minerals which inhibit the
growth of algae and bacteria and greatly reduces the
need for chemical sanitizers.
Why is it better?
CLEAR allows you to soak in odorless, clear natural water.
To make CLEAR work at its optimum level, we have also included
a 35 gallon per minute circulation pump. To put it in perspective, a
Clearwater Spa working with our cleaning system and circulation pump,
will put every drop of water through the ltration system 5 times an hour.
Most manufacturers use the jets pumps to do two jobs; lter the
water on low speed and move water to the jets on high speed. We at
Clearwater Spas believe it’s more important to dedicate a pump to 24/7
water ltration. Every Clearwater Spa includes a 24/7 circulation pump.
STAGE 2 Magnetic Field: Water passes by the
powerful magnetic eld which polarizes molecules and
gives water a positive (+) charge. This gives it a silky
smooth feel.
STAGE 4 UVC Sanitizer: Spa water passes over a
focused wavelength ultraviolet (UV) lamp sterilizing the
water from microorganisms including algae, bacteria,
viruses, and mold.
STAGE 3 Ozone Generator: Ozone is an
EPA-approved antimicrobial oxidizer, sanitizer, and
disinfectant helping to rid water of contaminants,
thereby improving water clarity and reducing the need
for chemicals.
The CLEAR Button
Your CLEAR system has been preset at the factory for your
particular spa model and water volume.
The CLEAR button will give a boost of CLEAR sanitation when
setting up the spa for the first time, when you have large
number of guests, or when using your spa frequently.
Left alone, CLEAR continues working at normal levels keeping
your water clear and clean. It’s that simple. You may never
have to press the CLEAR button, but rest assured that it is
there if you need it.
Spa owners that want to adjust the settings themselves can
still access the main control by removing the front cabinet
panel.

When the mode of the controller is set to “Ion/Action” and
the “Ionizing” light is illuminated on the controller, the area
in the center of the topside control will illuminate in blue.
Press the center of the logo to engage the “Large Dose”
mode for the number of hours programmed on the
controller. When “Large Dose” is active, the area in the
center of the topside control will ash in blue. Once the
cycle expires, the controller will go back to “Ion/Action”, the
center area will illuminate in blue and the ashing will stop.
To stop the Large Dose mode before the cycle nishes, hold
down the button in the center of the logo for 10 seconds.
If the mineral level is too high, or you would like to shut off
the ionizing for any other reason, hold down the button in
the center of the logo for 10 seconds or until the blue light
goes off.
If the ionizing function has been turned off, press the button
in the center of the logo to turn it back on. The center of
the logo will illuminate in blue to indicate that the system is
ionizing.
When the mineral cell is unplugged, the electrode bars are
not under water, or the cell is worn past its useful life, the
light in the center of the topside control will ash red.

MAIN CONTROLLER OVERVIEW
Ionizing When the “Ionizing” light is illuminating, it conrms
that the system is ionizing the water. To illuminate, the
electrodes must be fully submersed in water, and current
must be owing from the electrodes into the water.
The more ions that are being released into the water,
the faster the light will blink. The light will look solid at
maximum dose.
Ion/Action This setting represents the percentage of time in each
hour the Ionizer is on for. The suggested setting follows
in the operating instructions.
Large Dose Press this button to release the maximum amount of
ions for the number of hours you choose. The display
will count down the number of hours left. The system
will return to the previously set Ion/Action setting when
the large dose ends.
“-” This button will decrease the setting for Ion/Action or
Large Dose.
“+” This button will increase the setting for Ion/Action or
Large Dose.
Program Lock This feature will lock the controller at the currently
programmed settings. To lock the program, hold down
the “-“ button and the “+” button simultaneously for 20
seconds. You will see “PL” (program lock) appear on the
screen. To unlock, use the same process.

GETTING STARTED
1. Fill your hot tub with water to the appropriate level (check your spa
manual for reference).
2. Test the alkalinity, pH, and calcium levels using the test strips provided.
Adjust the water if necessary using the appropriate products.
3. If the TA (total alkalinity) and pH both need adjusting, correct the TA
rst. Reference the test strip to determine the levels. Your water should
read as follows:
pH: 7.2-7.6 (too low and the copper cell will erode; too high and
copper will precipitate on the spa’s surface)
TA: 80-120 ppm
CH: 150-300 ppm
4. Setting the copper level: Press the button. It’s as simple as that. If you
need to bring the copper level up press the CLEAR button to give it a
boost in copper/silver ionization. It will take approximately 2 days to
attain the minimum copper residual of 0.2ppm and 5 days to attain the
copper residual of 0.4ppm.
5. Bacteria Test: Once the copper has reached optimum level, you
may test water for bacteria by following the directions on the
bacteria test kit provided. Use the bacteria test strips and repeat
as needed. IMPORTANT! CLEAR IS DESIGNED TO WORK IN
CONJUCTION WITH LOW LEVELS OF CHLORINE. A minimum of
0.6 to 5 ppm is recommended. Check the sanitization levels regularly.
IMPORTANT! Do not use bromine or chlorine tablets.
If your spa tests positive for bacteria, immediately super-chlorinate
minimum 10ppm) your spa using spa chlorine only and do not use for 8
hours.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
TESTING: the spa owner is responsible to maintain a routine for testing
your water (i.e., weekly, biweekly, etc.) to ensure guidance levels within
the specied ranges as stated in the ‘Getting Started’ section of this
guide are maintained. Adequate testing routine must include alkalinity,
pH, calcium, copper levels, and bacteria presence. Remember to check
expiration dates of the test strips/kits and replace as needed.
SANITATION: the spa owner is responsible to ensure the spa water is
free from bacteria. As a regular practice to ensure there is no bacteria,
test water regularly with a valid bacteria test kit. In the absence
of regular testing free chlorine may be used at any time. The CDC
recommends a minimum chlorine level of 3 parts per million in hot
tubs/spas.
FILTERS: cleaning lters is recommended after every 6-8 people have
soaked in the spa, or every 6-8 uses. It is recommended that you
replace the lters annually.
SHOCKING: the CLEAR system includes an ozone generator to oxidize
organic material, but an additional oxidizer may be needed if bather
load is unusually heavy. Use 2oz. of Potassium Monopersulfate (spa
shock) for every 6-8 people or 6-8 uses.
PHOSPHATES: the presence of phosphates can keep the system from
maintaining the proper level of copper ions. Phosphates can be found
in the source water or build up over time from cosmetics or detergents
found in swimwear. Ensure phosphates are at 100ppb or less by testing
phosphates on an algae free spa (chlorine must be below 5ppm). Use
PHOSfree or similar product to treat.
STAIN & SCALE or sequestering products conict with CLEAR: DO
NOT USE. Stain & scale or other sequestering products will remove
the minerals from the water and neutralize new minerals for several
weeks.The Magnetic Field portion of CLEAR is designed to prohibit
scale. If iron or other contaminants are found in the source water, we
recommend using a lter that attaches to a garden hose prior to lling.
USAGE: the CLEAR system is intended for moderate, private usage.
Commercial uses including vacation rentals and general public use is
prohibited and will result in voiding of manufactures warranty.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE
COPPER/SILVER IONIZATION SYSTEM: the copper anode (cell)
should be checked every 6 months and will last approximately 2yrs
under normal conditions. Additional cells can be purchased from your
authorized dealer.
• Cleaning the anode (cell): deposits can be removed using a smooth
metal le and water. The surface does not have to be polished;
simply remove any traces of oxidation and other sediments.
• Replacing the anode (cell): shut off the circ pump valve and
spa system pack valve or drain the spa’s water. Turn old cell
counterclockwise to release it from the tee. If there is not enough
room unthread the spa system pack/heater union adjacent to the
anode tee so the plumbing can be moved. Reverse these steps
after threading the new cell by hand into the tee. To ensure even
wearing of the electrodes, turn until the two prongs are oriented so
the water ows between them.
• Cleaning the Controller: The housing of the controller is made from
a durable PVC plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water,
rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or
abrasive cleaner.
MAGNETIC FIELD: no maintenance required!
UVC SANITIZER: the UV bulb or lamp should be replaced every 12-18
months even if it is still working to ensure optimum performance. See
manufacturer’s manual for replacement details.
OZONE GENERATOR: no maintenance required! Ozone generators will
wear out after a few years. Replace as needed. (Note: the UV and Ozone
generator are combined in a single component. The Ozone generator is
not replaceable separately)
