Severe  scratches  or  abrasions  may  be  treated  with  a  color  matched,  water  based, 
outdoor wood stain.

Chemical Adjustments & Use - As Needed

 

Easy Spa Care Guide Recommended For Sunbelt Spas- 
 

 

Place  “Spa  Frog”  mineral  purifier  in  skimmer  tray  or  inside  the  inline  frog  system. 
(Break off the handle) 
 

 

Set filtration system to run a total of 4 hours per day. 2 hours out of every 12 hours. 

 

 

Test pH, Alkalinity, Chlorine levels 2  – 3 times per week (regularly) with test strips. 
Add pH up or down and chlorine granules accordingly.  

 

 

Maintain a minimum chlorine level of 0.5 – 1 ppm. A very small “pinch” of Granular 
Sodium Dichlor after each use works very well. 

 

 

Add 8 oz “Metal Gon” on start-up and each time the water is changed. 

 

 

Shock  after  each  use  or  at  least  once  a  week  (if  spa  is  not  used)  with  nonchlorine 
shock  such  as  Leisure  Time’s  “Renew”.  **Any  spa  shock  that  is  at  least  30% 
Potassium Peroxymonosulfate will work fine. READ THE LABEL! 

 

 

Add 1 – 2 oz of water clarifier per week 

 

 

Remove and pressure wash cartridge filters with your garden hose every 2 weeks. 

 

 

Replace “Spa Frog” mineral purifier every 4 months unless all minerals are gone, then 
replace immediately. 

 

 

Drain spa and refill spa 3 – 4 times a year minimum. 

 

 

Install and Ozonator if you do not already have one. 

 

 

Rubber Duck is optional but the perfect addition to your hot tub.
