Spa Water
•
Change the spa water every 3-5 days depending on use. If there is visible dirt or the
water becomes cloudy, change the water and clean the spa tub. See the “Spa Tub
Cleaning” section for further instructions.
•
We recommend taking a shower before using the spa as cosmetic products, lotions
and other residues on the skin can quickly degrade the water quality.
•
When the spa is not in use, cover it with the buckle cover to prevent pollution.
•
Use spa chemicals to maintain the proper water conditions. Consult with your local spa
or pool retailer for more information on chemical use.
Water Sanitation
The spa owner must regularly check and keep the spa water sanitised with scheduled
maintenance (daily, if necessary). Adding sanitiser or other chemicals will control bacteria
and the reproduction of viruses in the spa water. Maintaining the correct water balance
through the appropriate use of sanitisers is the most important factor in maximising the life
and appearance of the spa and ensuring the water stays clean and safe.
Adopting the proper technique is important for testing and treating the spa water. Contact
your spa professional if you have any questions on chemicals, sanitisers, test kits or test
procedures.
