in.clear in.clearbromine benefits
Bromine in a spa!
Bacteria requires a certain period of time before forming into micro
colonies and becoming attached to a surface. Rapid elimination
of bacteria is a key element in the proper maintenance of the spa
water. In.clear™ achieves this while oxidizing odors and reducing
eye irritation. In.clear™ enhances the clarity and quality of spa
water. For bathers this translates into a more enjoyable warm water
therapy experience.
How in.clear™ works!
When Sodium Bromide (such as BromiCharge™) is added to the
water, it separates into sodium ions and bromide ions. As the water
passes through the in.clear™ bromine generator, a low-voltage
source supplies a current that electrolytically reduces the bromine
ions into bromine which reacts with the water molecules to form
free bromine. Bromine is known to be a highly effective bactericide
and algaecide. This process releases bromide ions back into the
water for continuous recycling until the the spa is emptied. It is
important to note that the amount of bromine needed will vary
in direct proportion to the number of bathers in the spa (bather
load).
Effects of bromine
• Bromine destroys waterborne bacteria.
• Bromine destroys algae in water (e.g. Black, Green, Mustard).
• Bromine swiftly eliminates the presence of organic matter left
behind by spa users (oil, sweat, dead skin cells).
• Because bromine doesn’t contain calcium, it can be used to
sanitize hard water without increasing the calcium hardness.
The in.clear™ system operates in two modes:
Maintenance Mode and Boost Mode
Maintenance Mode:
The primary function of the Maintenance Mode is to keep the
bromine bank levels at a stable and acceptable range when
the spa is not being used. Maintenance Mode is the “everyday”
mode and is automatically ON when the system is activated.
To maintain the residual bromine level within a normal range,
the user has to set the Maintenance Level of the in.clear™
system by adjusting the value of the Maintenance Mode.
The higher the value, the more bromine generated. The
recommended bromine level is between 3 and 5 PPM.
The goal is to maintain bromine at a constant level, and within
the recommended range, when the spa is not being used or
left unused for an extended period of time. Once the proper
maintenance level is determined, keep the same setting unless
the spa usage changes.
Finding the right bromine generation level is a crucial step for
the in.clear™ system to be stable and effective. Refer to section
“6 -Determining the proper bromine generation Maintenance
Level for my spa” for more information.
Boost Mode:
The Boost Mode should be activated every time you use your
spa. Boost Mode increases the bromine generation rate to
attack pollutants in the water and helps rebuild the necessary
residual bromine in the water after each use of the spa.
Pollutants are introduced to the water by the bathers causing
the bromine levels to decrease. Activating the Boost Mode
when you enter the spa will prevent inadequate bromine levels
and will regenerate your bromine to the proper residual level.
Finding the right Boost level is another crucial step for the
in.clear™ system to be stable and effective. Refer to section “7 -
Determining the boost mode level for my spa”.
If water quality is not good after use, only the Boost level
should be adjusted, not the Maintenance level.

getting started
Start up procedure:
(see video: www.geckoal.com/inclear)
1 - Draining and cleaning the spa
It's important to completely drain and clean the spa to remove
any solid residues accumulated on the surface and inside or
around the jets area. After draining the spa, use spa cleaning
products only. Household cleaners contain additives such as
phosphates which may affect the bromine production. When
the spa is clean, rinse it off thoroughly with a garden hose.
It's extremely important to clean your filter cartridge with a
filter soaking solution or replace your filter cartridges.
2 - Refilling the spa
After the in.clear™ unit has been installed, check the TDS
(Total Dissolved Solids) of the water you'll use to refill the spa.
The TDS range should be within 50 and 400 PPM. This can be
done by your local spa dealer. When you're certain the water is
within the proper TDS range, refill your spa.
If your TDS is higher than 500 PPM, ask your spa dealer for
additionnal information to help reduce initial TDS.
DO NOT use water from a "Salt Water Softener" system.
Make sure there is adequate flow and that no airlocks are
trapped in the unit's plumbing. If airlocks are formed, start the
pump and slowly loosen one of the union nuts to release the
air trapped in the plumbing. Tighten the nut again after you are
done.
It is important that the spa is well cleaned and rinsed prior to the
startup of the new system. Some biofilms may have formed in the
spa that could prevent the system from functionning properly. We
strongly recommend the use of a flushing product such as Spa
System Flush, Swirl Away or National Chemistry Spa Purge to clean
the plumbing even if the spa is brand new.
in.clear ™getting started
3 - Adjusting water chemistry in the spa
Proper chemical maintenance of a spa is essential for the health of bathers.
Maintaining the quality of the spa water within these specified values will
enhance your enjoyment of the spa and prolong the life of the in.clear™ system.
For best results, adjust to the following water chemistry parameters. Check these
parameters periodicaly.
Total hardness (TH): between 150 and 200 PPM
Alkalinity: between 100 and 120 PPM
pH: between 7.2 and 7.8
Water chemistry should be balanced before adding
Sodium Bromide into the water. It's essential that the water
chemistry parameters are within the proposed range to
obtain optimal system performance.
High Calcium Hardness may lead in faster calcification on
the electrolytic plates.
4 - Adding Sodium Bromide (such as BromiCharge™)
Water temperature between 32 and 38° C (90 and 100° F) helps dissolve
Sodium Bromide and facilitates maintenance level adjustment
Start the pump to allow water to circulate and slowly add Sodium Bromide (such
as BromiCharge™) uniformly in the spa by simply pouring it from the container.
4 - Adding Sodium Bromide (such as BromiCharge™):
(continued)
Add Sodium Bromide with at least a 98% of the active
ingredient concentration, such as BromiCharge™ at a rate of
0,143Kg /100 liters of water.
Example, if your spa holds 1200 liters of water,
add 1,72 Kg of Sodium Bromide (12 X 0,143 Kg).
Add Sodium Bromide with at least a 98% of the active
ingredient concentration, such as BromiCharge™ at a rate of
1.2lb/100 US gallons of water.
Example, if your spa holds 300 US gallons of water,
add 3.6 lbs of Sodium Bromide (3 X 1.2Lb).
Note: Your spa manufacturer can tell you how much water
your spa holds (in liters or gallons).
5 - Activating the system:
Power up your spa and activate the system by pressing the
Boost key .

2524
in.clear in.clear
Other tips:
For Canada, in.clear™ must only be used with Sodium Bromide (such as
BromiCharge™) scheduled or registered under the Pest Control Product
Act. For USA, the Sodium Bromide (such as BromiCharge™) must be
registered under EPA.
Your warranty will be void if another product is used as a substitute.
Do not breathe it or get into your eyes! First Aid
instructions should appear the container of the registered
Sodium Bromide container.
Do not use any other sanitation chemicals (including
shock) in the spa.
When adding fresh water to the spa, start a Boost to help build
a residual bromine bank.
6 - Determining the proper Maintenance Level for my spa
(refer to page 12 for details)
Determining the proper maintenance level for your spa is an
extremely important step. Using your spa while you're establishing
the residual will slow the process. Be patient. Make sure you follow
steps 1 through 6 previously described before performing the
following steps.
Your maintenance value was set at the factory. It should read 25 to
start.
Since the in.clear™ bromine generation is not an instantaneous
process, at least 24 hours should be allowed for the bromine bank
to reach stabilization. After that period, check bromine level to
make sure it is back between 3-5 PPM.
If the bromine level is within that range, you are ready to use
your spa. If the bromine level is above 5 PPM, decrease the
maintenance level. If the bromine level is below 3 PPM, increase
the maintenance level. Always allow at least 24 hours for the
bromine bank to stabilize. Repeat these steps until you are able to stabilize
your bromine level between 3 and 5 PPM.
Do NOT increase/decrease maintenance level in steps greater than 2.
Setting the maintenance level to a value that's too high can cause
damage to your equipment.
Check bromine level and always test water before entering
the spa.
If the bromine level is higher than 5 PPM, lower the main-tenance
level and turn off the system until the bromine level is back below 5
PPM. Then, restart the system and continue monitoring the bromine
level.
To lower the bromine level, expose your spa water to the sun and
activate all pumps for a few cycles.
Testing bromine levels with FAS-DPD drop count method
is more accurate than using test strips. Bromine FAS-DPD
is available at www.geckodepot.com under number 0699-300008.
7 - Determining the Boost Mode level for my spa
Every time you use your spa, activate the Boost Mode using the
Boost Key on the keypad. As a rule of thumb, the
Boost level may correspond to the number of bathers using the
spa. For example, activate the Boost level to 2 indicators if two (2)
bathers are entering the spa.
At the end of the Boost period, verify that the bromine level has
returned to the 3-5 PPM range. If the bromine level is too low or
too high after the Boost period, the Boost level should be adjusted
the next time the spa is used. For example, if bromine level is
higher than 5 PPM after Boost, lower the Boost level by one at next
use under the same conditions. Repeat these steps until you are
able to determine the ideal Boost level for your usage.
Note: Boost levels depend on the number of bathers using the
spa. We recommend you validate the Boost level after each use
to determine the ideal Boost level for every condition (number of
bathers).

TDS level (hardness, alkalinity,
organic compounds, ...).
To clear a High BromiCharge™
Warning, readjust the
BromiCharge™ content of your
water in Diagnostic Mode, into
green zone by draining some
water from your spa and adding
fresh water.
BromiCharge™ gauge (LEDs)
In Diagnostic mode, the BromiCharge™ gauge (LEDs) indicates the
approximate BromiCharge™ level of your spa water.
When adding BromiCharge™, the gauge indicator will gradually
shift to the right. When adding clean water to the spa the indicator
will shift to the left. In order to acheive the proper level, start pumps
and add 454 Grams (1 Pound) at a time and always allow 5 minutes
for the gauge to react before adding more BromiCharge™.
The green zone in the center area of the gauge and a 12.0 value
should be targeted for optimal performance.

troubleshooting
Blinking “AC ”
A blinking “AC” message
displayed on the keypad
indicates that there is a problem
with the power input. The most
common reason is that the
in.clear™ unit is supplied with
120 VAC instead of 240 VAC.
Please make sure power cord is
connected properly to a
240 VAC source.
Bromine Generation
indicator blinking
A blinking Bromine Generation
LED means that the system is
unable to generate bromine
because no water flow is
detected by the in.clear™
system. This situation is normal
if no pump is running and no
water is flowing through the
in.clear™. However, if water
is circulating through the
in.clear™ unit, and the Bromine
Generation LED is still blinking,
make sure that the in.clear™ is
installed on the pressure side
of the pump and that water is
flowing through the in.clear™
unit.
Bromine Generation
indicator is off
The Bromine Generation
LED indicator is OFF when
there is no need for bromine
generation. This situation is
normal, especially with low
maintenance level of bromine
generation set on the keypad.
Low or no bromine reading
Make sure the maintenance level is properly set according to
the procedure described in section 6 - “Determining the proper
Maintenance Level for my spa ”.
Make sure there is no error or warning message on the display, the
cell is activated and that water is circulating properly to the cell.
Make sure water chemistry is in balance. refer to section
“3 - Adjusting water chemistry in the spa” for more details.
Test your spa water for phosphate to make sure there is no conta-
mination. Phosphates should never exceed 100 ppb. Phosphates
can be introduced to your spa water by household cleaners, soaps
and lotions.
Change your filter or clean it with a filter cleaner and rinse
thouroughly with cold water.
Make sure the in.clear™ cell is not damaged and that no calcium or
lime deposits appear on the cell plates. Clean your cell regularly
(at least once a year).
troubleshooting
Long recovery time after usage
Activate Boost Mode every time you use your spa to the
appropriate level. Refer to section 7 - “Determining the Boost Mode
level for my spa”.
Heavy bather loads will require longer boost periods. If bromine
level is below 3 PPM following a boost period, re-activate Boost
Mode to bring the bromine bank within 3-5 PPM.
Bromine bank should always be regenerated following a boost
period. If high Boost level does not regenerate bromine bank
properly, increase the daily filtration time.
If bromine production is still inadequate after following all of the
instructions above, biofilm deposits could be causing the lack
of bromine generation. Flushing products such as Sea Klear Spa
System Flush, Swirl Away or National Chemistry Spa Purge have
shown to be affective for biofilm removal.
In.clear is turned off
The OFF message indicates that
the in.clear™ in turned Off.
Press Boost key to reactivate

frequently asked questions
Q3 - What should I use to clean my spa?
A3 - Always use a non-sudsing cleaner found at your spa store.
Q4 - When my in.clear™ bromine generator is off does the
Sodium Bromide continue sanitizing my spa?
A4 - No, the in.clear™ system does not sanitize if inactive. If there is
a residual bank of bromine, bromine continues to sanitize the
spa water. In.clear™ may be OFF at certain times and the spa
will still be fine and clean.
The Sodium Bromide is converted to bromine as it passes
through the electrodes of the in.clear™ system and the pump
associated with the in.clear™ is running.
Q1 - My spa water is cloudy /oily
A1 - If your spa becomes cloudy or oily due to bather load perform
an additional Boost and wait for 24 hours to see if conditions
return to nornal. If the problem persists consult a spa/pool
dealer to have your water balanced properly.
Q2 - Does the Sodium Bromide evaporate?
A2 - No. Sodium Bromide is only lost through splash out, leaks or
when draining your spa.
T.D.S
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is
an expression for the combined
content of all inorganic and
organic substances contained
in a liquid which are present
in a molecular, ionized or
micro-granular (colloidal sol)
suspended form.
pH
pH (potential hydrogen) is
a measure of the acidity or
basicity of a solution.
P. P. M
"Parts-per million" notation
is used to denote relative
proportions or a comparative
ratio in a given measured
quantity.
The expression "1 PPM" means
a given property exists at a
relative proportion of one part
per million parts examined, as
would occur if a water-borne
pollutant was present at a
concentration of one-millionth
of a gram per gram of sample
solution.
Total Alkalinity
Alkalinity or TA is a measure of
the ability of a solution (such as
water) to neutralize acids to the
equivalence point of carbonate
or bicarbonate.
glossary
Organic Matter
Substances left behind by spa
users such as oil, sweat and
dead skin cells that serve as
"food" for bacteria.
Calcium Hardness (CH)
Calcium Hardness describes
the concentration of calcium in
your spa water.
Total Hardness (TH)
Total Hardness describes the
concentration of calcium and
magnesium in your spa water.
Bather Load
This term is used to describe
the number of bathers using a

cell cleaning cell cleaning
Cell cleaning:
In.clear™ includes a self-cleaning feature to prevent scale deposits
on the graphite electrodes of the in.clear™ system. However,
deposits may still form due to hard water. If that happens the cell
should be cleaned in an acidic solution.
To clean the in.clear™ cell, follow these steps:
All power must be disconnected before any service
procedure is performed. Disconnect the
communication cable and power cable of the
in.clear™ unit.
Refer to acid manufacturer's instructions.
Wear eye protection and rubber gloves during these
operations. Splashing or spilling acid can cause severe
personal injuries and/or property damage.
Always work in a well-ventilated area.
Always add acid to the water, never add water to the acid.
Do not pour acid outside of the unit where
the connectors are located.
Never use Acetic acid to clean the cell, as this will cause
permanent damage to cell components and void the
warranty.
• To remove scales from the cell, we recommend to use
Phosphoric acid (non-diluted) as the preferred cleaning product.
• Close the spa Flow Shut Off Valves. Unscrew both unions
from the unit and remove the cell from the spa equipment
compartment.
Phosphoric acid
or muriatic acid
• Install the rubber washer and the plastic nut on the threaded end
of the cell. Tighten plastic nut firmly.
• Place the cell vertically with the cap end down into a plastic 19
liters (5 U.S. gallon) bucket and carefully pour the acid solution
into the cell until the 4 plates are covered (careful not to
overflow). The acid solution will begin to produce bubbles to
clean the electrodes.
A foaming action will follow, which is caused by the scale
deposits being dissolved from the plates. If rigorous foaming
action does not begin, the cell does not need to be cleaned.
Rinse and reinstall the cell.
• Allow the electrodes to remain in the solution until the foaming
has stopped. However, DO NOT leave in acid for more than
fifteen minutes. Excessive acid cleaning will damage the
electrolytic cell.
• Pour the acid solution back into the bucket and rinse the cell
thoroughly with clean tap water. If deposits are still visible, repeat
operation for fifteen minutes maximum (some acid may need to
be added to the solution).
• Remove the plastic nut and washer from the cell and keep them
for future cell cleaning.
• Rinse the in.clear™ with fresh water.
• Re-install the in.clear™ unit into spa system plumbing, tighten all
connections by hand. Open the spa flow Shut Off Valves.
• Reconnect the keypad and power cable.
• Turn power on and start up the pump. Check the keypad to
see that the bromine generation LED is on and resume normal
operation.

When you add BromiCharge™ to your spa, the TDS (Total
Dissolved Solids) of the water will increase about 1150 PPM (Parts
Per Million) per 100-U.S. gallons for every pound of BromiCharge™
added. Normal operating range of BromiCharge™ should be
between 1400 to 1500 PPM for best results.
By adding 1.2 pounds of BromiCharge™ per 100 U.S. gallons of
water you should increase the total TDS in your spa by 1440 PPM.
EXAMPLE: If you have a 300 U.S. gallon spa, add 3.5 lbs of
BromiCharge™.
BASE TDS ..........................................400 PPM
3.5 lbs. BromiCharge™ ..................1440 PPM
TOTAL PPM after BromiCharge™ . 1840 PPM
Adding BromiCharge™
You will want to maintain a TOTAL TDS of 1600 to 1900 PPM in
your spa for best performance based on the above example. This
will give you a 1400 to 1500 PPM of BromiCharge™ in your spa at
all times.

SPA BROMINE GENERATOR
INSTALL AND OPERATION
MANUAL
The purpose of the in.clear™ water sanitation system for spas and
hot tubs (with BROMITRON™ BROMINE GENERATOR technology)
is to reliably and automatically maintain a halogen presence in
a given recreational body of water, whether the hot tub owner
remembers to treat the water, or not.
Proper bromine levels and chemistry should be checked regularly
by hot tub owners with the use of a standardized test kit.
The in.clear™ water sanitation system for spas and hot tubs (with
BROMITRON™ BROMINE GENERATOR) should be installed before
your hot tub is filled with water. If this is an after market installation,
drain the water and install it in the return line after the heater
circulation pump.
