How the AutoFresh System Works
The sophisticated components of the AutoFresh system are seamlessly integrated with your Hot Spring spa to keep your spa water fresh, clean and sparkling clear – automatically.
(A) Dosing Engine
Your authorized Hot Spring dealer will install the dosing engine containing the advanced components that drive the AutoFresh system. The sophisticated switching valve, pump, and circuit board work together to calculate the precise amount of chemicals needed, and automatically dispense them into the spa water.
(B) Cartridge & Cartridge Base
The cartridge base will be attached to the underside of the
filter lid by your authorized Hot Spring dealer. You simply install
the disposable AutoFresh cartridge, which becomes invisible once in
place.

The
cartridge contains a chlorine- and bromine-free sanitizer, shock,
and waterline control. Each cartridge lasts about three months,
varying based on spa size and usage.
(C) Water Care Icon
Every
two weeks, a flashing water care icon reminds you to test the spa
water. Simply input the test strip reading into the IQ 2020® control
panel or optional remote control.
(D) IQ 2020® Control System
The Hot Spring IQ 2020® Control System communicates with the AutoFresh dosing engine, and together they determine and deliver the correct dosage.
