Winterizing

When freezing weather and/or power losses are expected, contact your local spa dealer 
for freeze protection or winterizing recommendations for both the spa and the equipment 
system. Freeze related damage is not covered by the warranty.

Chemical Water Treatment

Your dealer is familiar with local water conditions and which chemicals are compatible with 
and designed specifically for your spa. This is the best person to advise you on proper 
water quality management.
The one thing you can do to insure years of trouble free equipment operation is to 
maintain proper water chemistry.
Two basic goals of the chemical water treatment are sanitizing and balancing the water.
Sanitizing simply means keeping the water free from living microorganisms including 
algae, bacteria, and viruses. The current most popular chemicals for sanitizing include 
chlorine, bromine, and ozone.
Balancing water means establishing a balance among pH, total alkalinity, and total 
hardness. Water that is unbalanced can corrode the spa and it’s support equipment or 
leave deposits of minerals. Properly balanced water is essential to allow the sanitizing 
chemical to work effectively. There are numerous chemical additives to help you in 
controlling pH, total hardness, and total alkalinity. 

NEVER

 use softened water when filling 

your spa. Softened water is extremely corrosive to metal parts of the spa equipment and 
may lead to unforeseen failure.
Sometimes, despite your most diligent efforts, your water may become too far out of 
balance to be managed chemically. At this point it is probably better to drain and clean the 
spa and start over with fresh water.
Equipment failure caused by improper water chemistry will not be covered under warranty.
