Maintenance
4.3 Water treatment
To ensure the comfort and safety of SPA users, the water parameters must be well-balanced. The mineral content of water is constantly chan-
ging and can be directly affected by persons in the water, water treatment products and by evaporation. Deviations from the desired values
can cause deposits that can damage the SPA.
As the volume of water is relatively small, it is difficult to maintain constant values.
It is therefore important to observe the following points:
-
Start with water treatment immediately after filling the SPA. The power supply has to be ensured from this moment on, so that
filtration can be started immediately..
-
Check the following water parameters and adjust them as follows:
Minimum
Ideal
Maximum
Free chlorine
2 ppm
2 - 4 ppm
5 ppm
pH
7.0
7.2
-
7.6
7.8
Total alkalinity (TA)
60 ppm
80 ppm
120 ppm
Calcium hardness (CaCO3)
100 ppm
150–250 ppm
350 ppm
Active oxygen
5 mg/l
6 - 7 mg/l
8 mg/l
Bromine
3
mg/l
3.5
-
4.5
mg/l
5
mg/l
-
The indicated water values must be checked regularly and adjusted (every day, if necessary)
-
Use a good and clearly legible testing set for these tests. There are test strips with which you can measure free chlorine, active oxygen,
bromine, pH, water hardness and total alkalinity at the same time.
-
Use water treatment products to correct and adjust the values.
-
If the SPA is being used regularly, the water must be completely changed at least every two months. If the SPA is used more intensively,
the water must be changed more frequently.
CAUTION
If the pH value and chlorine content are not corrected, it can have negative effects on the service life of components, which can invalidate the warranty.
CAUTION
Never use fragrances. These oil-based products can result in deposits and leaks.
The use of fragrances will invalidate your warranty claim.
4.4 Water treatment products
Always add the water treatment to the middle of the SPA. The air jets and heater must be switched on to achieve an optimum treatment ef-
fect. The use of water treatment products in cold water has almost no effect. Keep the water treatment products in a cool, dry place inacces-
sible to children.
For the disinfection of the SPA water there are different methods to choose from, whereby chlorine, active oxygen and bromine have establis-
hed themselves as the most common germicidal agents. Always use a dosing float (MINI version) for dosing during SPA water care - this
way you avoid the risk of bleach spots or hole formations on the SPA surface.
Important:
Always remove the dosing float when using the SPA.
Important
:
Press the button on the control unit to switch on the air fans. This helps to better dissolve the water care products in the SPA.
CAUTION
If the pH value and chlorine content are not corrected, it can have negative effects on the service life of components, which can invalidate the
warranty.
CAUTION
While the pool is in use, no chemicals must be added, as skin and eye irritation may occur.
CAUTION
A concentrated chlorine solution may cause damage to the SPA. Under no circumstances can UBBINK be held liable for costs incurred due to
water loss, poor water quality or incorrect use of chemicals.
CAUTION
Do not perform shock chlorination on your SPA as the high concentration of chlorine in the water can damage the shell. Instead, change the
water more often.
CAUTION
Never allow chlorine to come in contact with the SPA if the chlorine is not completely dissolved.
CAUTION
Never mix different chemicals. Always put the chemicals into the SPA water separately.
Always make sure that the chemical is fully dissolved before adding the next one to the water.
CAUTION
Never use fragrances. These oil-based products can result in deposits and leaks. The use of fragrances will invalidate your warranty claim.
