Water Management
Our chemical water purification system is a perfect match for your hot tub.
Depending on usage, the water in your hot tub should be changed every 1-3
months. Upon each change of water it is a good practice to wipe down the hot
tub.
If your water quality seems improper, increasing the time the hot tub filters the
water (see pages and 43) may clear up your problem.
Below are some answers to common water chemistry questions.
pH It is common to have pH fluctuations after adding chemicals to your
hot tub or after a party. Let your jets run and give your water time to
stabilize. 9 times out of 10, your pH will come back into the 7.2-7.8
range on its own.
MILDEW
on cover
Mildew usually grows in the folds and seams of your cover and then
drips into your hot tub water causing cloudiness and/or odor. Clean
with our special Citra Bright Spray Cleaner and then rinse the inside
of your cover with clean warm water.
Foamy
water
Foam typically results from soap residue on your skin and hair, or
laundry detergent residue on clothing. Take a soapless shower and
rinse all clothing in warm water prior to bathing.
CLEAR
green or
brown
water
Your “source water” most likely has dissolved heavy metals. When
this is the case, order our special Metal Gon metal remover. Using
a pre-filter can remove these contaminants before they get into your
hot tub (see page 24).
CLOUDY
green
water
Algae can be resolved by adding a respected brand of algaecide.
CLOUDY
white
water
Although a normal condition immediately after filling that dissipates
after time, with stabilized water this is a visual indication that the
total alkalinity or pH or both are at improper levels. Test your water
weekly and maintain proper water chemistry (see page 28).
ODOR
and/or
CLOUDY
water
If your water develops an odor and/or cloudiness, clean your cover
and filters and try increasing the amount of time the hot tub filters
per day by turning your filtration cycle time or duration up.
HEAVY
use
After a period of heavy use, your hot tub may cloud. Shock your hot
tub with 2 ounces of non chlorine shock and wait 36 hours.
