Second, non-filterable micro-particulate wastes
(dust, etc.) have contaminated the water. To remove
these wastes substances, use a WATER CLARIFIER.
Note: Names of hot tub chemicals will vary from one
manufacturer to another. Please consult your
authorized Tadpole Portable Hot Tub Dealer if you
have questions.
MAINTAINING HOT TUB WATER
Sanitizer and pH Levels:
It is important to test and adjust the sanitizer and
pH levels of your hot tub on a frequent basis. If your
hot tub is used 0-3 times weekly, then we
recommend that you test your hot tub water a
minimum of 2-3 times that week. For each additional
use you should test your hot tub water one
additional time.
Always test the pH level before you test the sanitizer
level. If the pH level is not in the range of 7.4-7.6,
then make the necessary adjustment. Use the
dosage prescribed on the label.
With each sanitizer test, use either GRANULAR
BROMINE or GRANULAR CHLORINE to maintain the
following levels:
Without Ozone With
Ozone
Chlorine Level: 2.0 PPM 1.0 PPM
Bromine Level: 3.0 PPM 2.0 PPM
To maintain the above sanitizer level with CHLORINE
or BROMINE TABLETS, please refer to your author-
ized Tadpole Portable Hot Tub Dealer for assistance.
Super-Sanitation:
Once per week, and when the hot tub is not in use,
Super-Sanitize the spa water by adding one of the
following:
•
Two teaspoons of GRANULAR CHLORINE per 200
gallons of hot tub water.
•
Four teaspoons of GRANULAR BROMINE per 200
gallons of hot tub water.
•
Five teaspoons of a NON-CHLORINE SHOCK per
200 gallons of hot tub water.
Note 1: With above-average use, Super-Sanitation may be
required more than once per week.
Note 2: With ozone, it may not be necessary to shock on a
weekly basis (see your dealer).
Stain & Scale Control: Use a STAIN & SCALE
INHIBITOR as per the instructions on the
manufacturer's label. Do not add this chemical until
3-4 days after Super-Sanitation.
Foam Control: As needed, use a FOAM REMOVER as
per the instructions on the manufacturer's label.
Cloudy Water Prevention & Control: Use a WATER
CLARIFIER as per the instructions on the
manufacturer's label. Do not add this chemical until
3-4 days after Super-Sanitation.
WATER CHEMISTRY TROUBLESHOOTING
Prior to each spa use, check the hot tub water. If the
water appears cloudy or off-color, has significant
surface foam or smells of chlorine/bromine, then
there is a problem with the water and it needs to be
treated or drained.
STARTING YOUR HOT TUB WITH NEW WATER:
1. As your hot tub fills with tap water , add the
prescribed dose of a STAIN & SCALE INHIBITOR. This
will provide the initial protection against staining
and scaling.
Note: Do not use soft water unless the mineral
content is raised immediately.
2. When your hot tub is completely filled with water,
add the prescribed dose of a WATER CLARIFIER. This
will clear the water of any micro-particulates that
came with the new water.
3. If possible, have your authorized Tadpole Hot Tub
Dealer test the Calcium Hardness (CH) of your hot
tub water and adjust as per your dealer's
recommendation (the correct level of CH depends on
your overall water conditions).
4. Test and adjust the Total Alkalinity (TA) to the
range of 125-150 PPM (parts per million).
5. Test and adjust the pH to the range of 7.4-7.6.
6. After the hot tub water has circulated for
approximately one hour, add 1/2 teaspoon of
GRANULAR CHLORINE or 1 teaspoon of GRANULAR
BROMINE per each 200 gallons of hot tub water.
After several hours, check sanitizer level and, if
necessary, adjust to the following:
Without Ozone With
Ozone
Chlorine Level: 2.0 PPM 1.0 PPM
Bromine Level: 3.0 PPM 2.0 PPM
Important: Unless you have ozone, do not use the
hot tub if the sanitizer level is below 1.0.
Start-up water chemistry is now complete. However,
it may take several days for the filter to completely
clear the water.
