FreshWater IQ combines three game-changing innovations, FreshWater Salt, Smart Monitoring, and new Dosing Systems into one integrated solution.

Salt System

NEW! Dosing System
Our latest innovation, this delivers accurate
doses of pH Up, pH Down, and Phosphate
Remover with a simple tap, using refillable
cartridges tucked discreetly under the spa’s
filter lid.

Smart Monitoring System

Smart Monitoring System
The brain behind the system, this checks pH,
chlorine, and salt levels every hour, and
displays updates and actionable
recommendations on your screen.

NEW! Dosing System

Salt System
The foundation of the system, this
generates chlorine from salt using a
replaceable titanium cartridge to keep spa
water fresh, clear, and natural-feeling.

FreshWater IQ (Salt System with Smart Monitoring and Dosing) is available on Highlife® and Limelight® Collection spas only. The FreshWater Salt System is available on Hot Spot® Collection spas. FreshWater IQ is not available on Freeflow® Collection spas. Please refer to the compatibility chart below for details.
