Upkeep of the hot tub
Remove the cartridge and the skimmer insertion. Using a garden hose, clean the
cartridge so that no settled dirt remains in the corners of the filter. Once clean, put
the insertion back to the skimmer. Put the cartridge inside the skimmer tank next
and close it. Remember that the filter cartridge has to be replaced every 3– 6 months.
Replace it even sooner if it is damaged or clogged, it is not usable in such state.
Make-up, sunscreens and other types of body lotion decrease the quality of the wa-
ter and lower the filter cartridge longevity.

Maintaining the quality of the water in the hot tub
WARNING: Always add the chemicals to the water, never the other way around
Add the chemicals to the water only when there are no people inside Use the
circulation pumps to mix the chemicals with the water Store the chemicals
according to the instruction on their label
a) Use a suitable water hardness regulator regularly (the HANSCRAFT SPA Water
hardness regulator is recommended) and follow the instructions on the chemi-
cals‘ label.
b) Depending on the frequency of use of the hot tub, test the water quality regular-
ly by a suitable water quality tester.
c) Adjust the water pH level accordingly by suitable water chemicals
(the HANSCRAFT SPA – pH PLUS and pH MINUS is recommended).
d) Adjust the Cl (chlorine) level with suitable water chemicals (HANSCRAFT SPA
– MULTI MINI 3 in 1 tablets are recommended). Follow the instructions on the
chemicals‘ label.
For the chlorine to have the desired effect, the pH level needs to be
adjusted first
e) We recommend you to clean/replace the filter cartridge before adding the
chemicals.
Chlorine shock – in case of extreme pollution, it is necessary to treat the water with
a dose of fast dissolving chlorine and thus perform a chlorine shock. The pH level of
the hot tub water has to be adjusted to 7.0 –7.6 first and the chlorine level has to be
checked. Once a week or after adding a large amount of fresh water to the hot tub,
add a shock dose of chlorine 10 –20 g/m
3
(2 table spoons) into the water. Add the
chlorine only when there are no people in the hot tub. After you add the chlorine,
turn on the circulation pumps so that the chemicals mix well with the water. If you are
using a granulated form of the chemical, dissolve it in a small amount of water first.
Let the chlorine level drop to 3 mg/l before you start using the hot tub.
