Balboa Water Group MicroSilk - Manual

MicroSilk ® User Guide
(for use with BP Systems v19.0 or later)
Operation:
The MicroSilk ® pump is controlled by a button on your topside panel and/or a separate auxiliary button.
On spaTouch™, TP800, and TP900 panels, MicroSilk ® can be activated from the Spa Screen.
If other water equipment (pumps, blowers, etc) is operating at the time you start MicroSilk ® , within
a short time that other water equipment will turn Off. At that point, you cannot turn On any other
equipment (except lights and any audio/video equipment) without first turning MicroSilk
® Off.
MicroSilk ® takes several minutes to saturate the water with micro-bubbles. The water will become
very opaque when MicroSilk ® is running; this is normal. These rejuvenating micro-bubbles are most
effective when the water is allowed to be dormant. Agitation to the water (for example, by active
bathers) will greatly diminish the silk diffusion and treatment benefits. (It is for this reason that no
other water equipment can be turned On while MicroSilk
® is producing its effect.)
The MicroSilk ® pump will turn Off automatically after 30 minutes, but you can turn it Off manually
at any time.
MicroSilk ® adds no chemicals to the water and has no direct effect on water chemistry or bouquet.
Other Notes:
If operated in Priming Mode, MicroSilk ® does not turn Off other equipment.
MicroSilk ® will activate automatically for a short period at the beginning of each filter cycle.
(If MicroSilk ® is activated manually just before a filter cycle was to start, that filter cycle will not
start until MicroSilk ® turns Off.)
If you activate MicroSilk ® and immediately turn it Off, other water equipment may also turn Off.
This is normal.
On some systems, MicroSilk ® is set up so that it is disabled when all of the other pumps are On at
high-speed. In those cases, you must first turn Off at least one of those pumps, then turn On MicroSilk ® ,
which will then automatically turn Off the rest of the pumps.
WARNING: Never operate the pump when dry.
