cals provides you with cleaner, healthier
water, reduced chemical usage, and
protects your skin from chemically induced
irritation.
Sanitizing with Ozone
Swim spas vary in size, and frequency and
conditions of use. For this reason you will
need to establish your sanitizing program
based upon your own personal use. When
using ozone, you should start by balancing
your water chemistry as you normally would.
A swim spa should be filtered a minimum of
six hours per day, during which time ozone
will be mixed into the water. If your swim
spa is heavily used, this run time should be
increased. The amount of residual sanitizer
(chlorine and bromine) that you maintain
in the water will also vary depending on
use. It is recommended that you maintain
a residual of 3.0-5.0 ppm. Periodically, and
after periods of heavy use, it is necessary to
‘shock’ your swim spa with large amounts of
sanitizer.
NOTE: Extra filtration can be provided
by manually starting a clean-up cycle.
Turn Pump 1 on in low speed. The
pump will operate for an extended
period and then automatically turn
off. The heater, ozone generator and
UV system will also operate during
this period if the controls are set in
Standard or Ready mode.
Specialty Chemicals
While ozone and UV may significantly
reduce the usage of specialty chemicals
(chlorine and bromine), they are not
a substitute for these chemicals. All
chemicals should continue to be monitored,
especially during periods of heavy usage
and when changing or replenishing the
swim spa water.
Draining your Swim Spa
NOTE: Always turn the circuit breaker
off when you drain your swim spa. Do
not turn the spa heater back on until
you
have full flow coming from the jets
for several minutes.
High concentrations of impurities caused
by water evaporation, body oils, perfumes,
and other contaminants may accumulate in
the spa and cannot be filtered out.
NOTE: It is advisable to drain your
swim spa and refill it with fresh water
every six to eight weeks or more often,
depending on the amount of use.
All swim spas are equipped with multiple
internal drains. These drains are used to
remove water from internal plumbing, when
Winterizing your swim, or if the water is
severely contaminated.
NOTE: Use a standard garden hose
to direct the water to an appropriate
disposal area.
The
internal
drain hose(s) are located
behind the front access panel under the
spa. Remove the access panel screws and
the access panel. Locate the drain hose(s).
For each hose drain valve, remove the cap,
attach the garden hose, and turn the valve
handles, located on the drain valve body,
90º counter-clockwise, then pull out on the
hose to start flow. Water will begin to flow.
When all water has been evacuated, push
in and turn the valve handle clockwise until
it stops. Remove garden hose and replace
the cap. Repeat for each internal drain
hose.
