Daily Maintenance
To keep your spa water sparkling clear and odour free, follow these steps:
1) Spas with adjustable filter cycles should be operated a minimum of 8 hours a day to remove suspended
particles that may exist.( 4 hours per a 12 hour period)
2) Test pH to maintain a level of 7.2 to 7.6. If an ozonator is being used, pH should be 7.8 while ozonator is
working.
3) If you are using Organic Bromine (Bromine Tablets) adjust your feeder so the bromine residual is 3 to 5
ppm.
Weekly Maintenance
When the spa is not in use:
1) Add 1 cap (30 mL) of a Scale Preventative per 250 gal (1000 Litres) to inhibit scaling and staining.
Circulate water for 30 minutes.
2) Add a Brightener 24 hours after adding the Scale Preventative. Circulate the water for 30 minutes.
3) With the bromine sanitizing system, contaminants may build up during the week. The spa should be
shocked with a Spa Shock. This will eliminate any odour and restore clarity to the water.
Periodic Maintenance
1) Greases, oils and organic waste can accumulate on the filter cartridge reducing their efficiency and
limiting the effectiveness of the disinfectant. Clean the filter with CARTRIDGE CLEANER as directed.
Physically clean the filter basket daily (if applicable).
NOTE: It is not recommended to use muriatic acid on filter cartridges as this is a raw chemical which
does not rinse out well, ending up back in the water causing low pH levels.
2) The use of the scum ball will cut down on grease, foam and suspended particles in the spa. The scum
ball acts as a filter before the filter and will increase the life of the cartridge.
3) The use of a thermal insulated hard cover will reduce evaporation and heat loss. Keep cover on and
level at all times when spa is not in use.
4) Once you have established a comfortable water temperature to soak at, leave the thermostat at that
temperature. Rapid changes in water temperature consume more energy.
5) Take a sample of water to your dealer to test for alkalinity, calcium and total dissolved solids.
6) WHEN TO DRAIN SPA WATER. Due to the warm water temperature and high evaporation rate, the total
dissolved solids tend to build up. For this reason we recommend draining and refilling the spa every 2 to
4 months - depending on usage.
7) Clean your filter(s) at least once every two weeks or after heavy bather loads, by soaking your filter(s) in
cartridge cleaner. Dirty filters cause the heater to shut off or the spa temperature to drift lower than
desired.
NOTE: Remove any objects floating on the water before removing skimmer basket and filter or they may be
sucked into the pump.
NOTE: Spas should not be left running unattended without filters. Remove filters for cleaning. Always turn off the
spa before removing the cartridge(s) Debris can enter plumbing and cause damage.
