WATER PURITY & FILTRATION
Keeping the water clean – chemical sanitizers
One of the bigger reasons that people require service on their spa is because
they haven’t followed a chemical application regiment. Water can accumulate
impurities that worsen the performance or even damage the filtration system if
chemicals are not applied on a regular basis. The water can even become un-
healthy if chemicals are not used to sanitize. Improper pH levels or calcium
levels can cause either corrosion of parts or scale build-up.
We recommend that you begin a routine of applying chemicals that
you can get comfortable with and follow all the time. If you get into
a scheduled regiment, it will be easier to remember when to apply
the chemicals.
Your spa comes with an ozonator that will do a very good job at kill-
ing bacteria and oxygenating the water, but chlorine or bromine are
used to compliment the job of the ozonator.
Finally, the best way to keep the water clean over long periods of
time is to change the water four times a year. Connect a hose to the
drain valve and open it all the way to allow the tub to drain all the
way. Use a shop-vac to remove any standing water and debris at the bottom
of the tub. Refer to the maintenance section for instructions on cleaning the
tub before refilling it.
