10. WATER CHEMISTRY
Maintaining water chemistry will aid in preventing possible damage to your spa and ensuring safe water
conditions for users.
Water Quality:
Filtering the water helps maintain clean, clear and safe water. You spa is equipped with a 2 cartridges filter
system. Although the filter traps most solid materials, it is necessary to add a sanitizer (chlorine or bromine) to
the water. This will help oxidize organic materials and reduce build up of algae or bacteria. Note: Do not use
peroxide chemicals.
To ensure the safe operation of your spa, we recommend using chemicals from your authorized spa dealer. The
dealer is informed about the care and maintenance of your spa and can provide guidance when choosing
alternative methods for maintaining water quality.
Note:
Use of the wrong chemicals can be dangerous and may void the warranty on your spa.
Water Testing:
Testing your spa water on a regular basis with an accurate test kit or strips is also recommended.
These kids are available from your authorized spa dealer. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s instructions for
use.
PH CONTROL:
All water has a PH value. This value measures the acid to alkaline relationship from 14-point scale. A reading of
7.0 is considered neutral while a lower reading is considered acidic and a higher reading is alkaline.
The proper PH for spa water is between 7.2-7.6. A high PH (above 7.6) can reduce sanitizer efficiency, cloud the
water, promote scale formation on the spa surface and equipment and impede the filter operation. When PH is
too high, add a PH reducer.
Low PH (below7.2) can cause equipment corrosion, water that can irritate users and rapid sanitizer dissipation.
Add PH increaser to adjust the level.
Note:
Good PH control and sanitation are essential for proper spa water treatment. Always add PH adjuster with
jets operating and circulate chemicals for at least 30 minutes. Follow the chemical manufacturer’s directions and
procedures when adding chemicals to spa water.
Sanitizer:
Warm water creates a fertile environment for growth of bacteria. To prevent growth it is very important to
maintain adequate and constant levels of sanitizer in your spa.
