Overview of the ACE System

The ACE salt water sanitizing system makes water care easy by:

  • Naturally generating active oxygen, powerful mixed oxidants like ozone and MPS non-chlorine oxidizer, and natural chlorine to keep water crystal clear.
  • Generating the right amount of sanitizer needed based on spa size and Use Level, parameters that are easily input through your spa's control panel or optional IQ 2020 ® remote control.
  • Testing for high or low salt levels, using the ACE system Salt Test.
  • Increasing chlorine levels to meet high chlorine-demand situations as needed with a convenient Boost function.

Enjoy peace of mind while the illuminated water care icon and system status messages on the spa's main control panel confirm that the ACE system is keeping your spa water clean and crystal clear.
