MAINTENANCE AND CHEMICALS
Water Sanitation
The spa owner must regularly check and keep the spa water sanitized with scheduled maintenance (daily, if
necessary). Adding sanitizer and other chemical will control bacteria and viruses present in the spa water.
The maintenance of a proper water balance through appropriate use of sanitizers is the single most important
factor in maximizing the life and appearance of the spa tub as well as ensuring clean, healthy and safe water.
Proper technique is important for water testing and treating the spa water. See your pool/spa professional for
chemical, sanitizer, test kits and testing procedures questions.
CATUTION:
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE CHEMICAL MANUFACTURER’S DIRECTIONS, AND THE HEALTH AND HAZARD
WARNINGS.
Do not add chemicals if the spa is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation.
Concentrated chlorine
solutions can damage the spa tub. In no event is Intex Recreation Corp., Intex Development Co. Ltd., their
related companies, authorized agents and service centers, retailers or employees liable to the buyer or any other
party for costs associated with the loss of spa water, chemicals or water damage.
Maintenance of Spa Water and Cartridge
Protect all the spa occupants from possible water-related illnesses by keeping the spa water clean and sanitized.
Always practice good hygiene. To ensure proper spa water quality follow these procedures:
1.
Inspect and clean the filter cartridge once a week, and change the filter
cartridge as needed.
a.
Unscrew the cartridge housing assembly from the spa tub wall and
remove the cartridge
(see drawing 18).
b.
Use a garden hose to rinse off the cartridge. If the cartridge remains
soiled and discolored it should be replaced. Keep spare cartridges
on hand.
c.
Reinstall the clean cartridge back into the cartridge housing and
replace the cartridge housing assembly back onto the spa tub wall.
2.
Change the spa water every 2~3 months, or it becomes cloudy and proper
water chemistry does not clear it up. See “Spa Tub Drainage” and “Spa
Tub Cleaning” sections for details.
3.
Use spa chemicals to maintain proper water chemistry. Spa damage
resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of spa water
is not covered by the warranty.
4.
All occupants must shower before entering the spa.
Water Chemistry Balance
Maintain the spa water pH level between 7.2 and 7.8, total alkalinity level between 80 and 120ppm and free
chlorine level between 2 to 4ppm. Use the included test strips to test the spa water chemistry before each use of
the spa and continue to test the water no less than once a week.
The Test Strips can test the “Free Chlorine”, “pH”, “Total Alkalinity” and “Calcium Hardness” levels at the same
time:
1.
Dip the entire strip into the water and remove immediately.
2.
Hold the strip level for 15 seconds. Do not shake excess water from the strip.
3.
Compare the strip pad to the color chart on the packaging label. If necessary, adjust the chemical level
in the pool water.
NOTE:
Check the expiry date of the test kit as the test results may be inaccurate if the kit is used after that date.
Low pH will damage the spa tub and pump. Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the
warranty.
Use the included chemical floater dispenser to administer chlorine [chemical tablet size: less than 1” (2.5cm)
diameter] into the spa water. Add 1 tablet into the dispenser. Always follow the chemical manufacturer’s
directions. Remove the chemical floater dispenser when the spa is in use.
Never let chlorine come in contact with the spa tub if it is not completely dissolved.
IMPORTANT:
Press the
104
F
o
button on the spa control panel to turn on the bubble air blower and help dissolve
the chemicals into the water.
Never mix chemicals together. Add the chemicals to the spa water separately. Thoroughly dissolve each
chemical before adding another one to the water.
WARNING
Always unplug this product from the electrical outlet before removing, cleaning, servicing or
making any adjustment to the product.
