Spa Maintenance


 

 





Your spa or hot tub is an investment in relaxation. Follow these simple steps to ensure your spa is maintained properly.

1. Fill spa with water and add 2 tablespoons (4 capfuls) of Spa Essentials Stain and Scale Control per 300 gallons during filling. This establishes initial protection against staining and scaling.

2.Test spa water and balance as needed. Maintain proper water balance factors to help protect spa equipment and ensure comfortable water.

 

WATER BALANCE FACTOR

PROPER RANGE

pH

7.2 - 7.6

Total Alkalinity

100 - 150 ppm

Calcium Hardness

150 - 300 ppm

 

3.To establish an initial sanitizer reading, add a chlorinating or brominating product and maintain at recommended levels to kill bacteria and keep spa water clean.

If you prefer to use chlorine:
Add Chlorinating Concentrate at a rate of 1/2 teaspoon per 1000 gallons. Repeat additions every 15-20 minutes until a 3-5 ppm chlorine residual is established. Use water test strips or test kit to check sanitizer level.

Or if you prefer to use bromine:
Add Brominating Concentrate at a rate of 1 teaspoon per 200 gallons. Repeat additions every 15-20 minutes until a 3-6 ppm bromine residual is established. Or add Brominating Tablets to an automatic feeder or floater to established bromine level. Use water test strips or test kit to check sanitizer level.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

1.Run spa pump and filter at least 8 hours per day to circulate water and help keep spa clean.

2.Test sanitizer level and maintain in proper range. Maintain bromine level of 3-6 ppm or chlorine level of 3-5 ppm.

3.Test pH and adjust if needed to maintain reading of 7.2-7.6.

WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

1.Shock spa to remove organic compounds and keep water clear. Add 1 oz. of Spa Shock per 500 gallons every week. Or use Brominating or Chlorinating Concentrate per label directions to shock spa.

2.Add 2 tablespoons (4 capfuls) of Stain & Scale Control per 300 gallons to prevent stains and scaling on spa equipment.

3.Apply Surface Cleaner to a sponge or soft cloth and wipe along waterline and spa surface to remove oils, grease, and other debris.

4.Add 2 tablespoons (4 capfuls) of Enzyme Cleaner per 100 gallons to reduce waterline buildup and help keep filter clean and operating properly.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

1.Drain and refill spa every 60-90 days for moderately used spas.

2.Clean spa surface thoroughly with Surface Cleaner while spa is drained. Rinse well before refilling. 3.Remove the spa filter and clean with Filter Cleaner every 4-6 weeks to remove grease and oil from filter.
