ADDING CHEMICALS TO THE WATER
All spa water chemicals, including granulated dichlor, MPS, granulated
pH increaser or decreaser, granulated total alkalinity increaser, liquid
stain and scale inhibitor, and liquid defoamer must always be added
directly into the filter compartment while the jet pump is running in its
high speed mode, and it must run for a minimum of ten minutes with the
cover off. Use the Clean button/feature to ensure that the chemicals are
properly mixed when adding.
BUILDING A SANITIZER ROUTINE
During the first month of ownership, measure the sanitizer residual
daily in order to establish a baseline of sanitizer needed vs. spa usage.
Sanitizer needed is the amount of Free Available Chlorine needed to
accommodate the number of users and their combined usage time. For
example, two spa users for twenty minutes every day creates regular
demand on the sanitizer that is used to determine how much sanitizer
to add in order to maintain the proper residual. If the usage pattern
increases dramatically with invited guests, the amount and frequency of
sanitizer required increases dramatically.
PERFORMING SUPER CHLORINATION/
NON-CHLORINE SHOCK TREATMENT
A weekly or monthly super chlorination (1.5 tsp dichlor/250 gal (950
liters)) or shock (4tbs mps/250 gal (950 liters)) may be required of your
chosen sanitation program. Increasing chlorine to 5 ppm for 24-48 hours
removes excess waste and chloramines from the water. Sodium dichlor
is 6x stronger than MPS and may be a more appropriate for those users
that experience heavy bather load conditions. Operate all jets and leave
the cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the oxidizer gas
to vent to prevent damage and discoloration to the cover and pillows
after administering a super chlorination or shock to your spa. This type
of damage is considered chemical abuse and is not covered under the
terms of the limited warranty.
IMPORTANT: Always allow the Free Available Chlorine to fall below 5
ppm before using your spa.
DANGER: Never leave an open spa unattended, especially if
there are children present
EVERFRESH WATER CARE SYSTEM
(OPTIONAL)
The EVERFRESH water care system is comprised of the following
products:
• CLEAN SCREEN Pre-filter
• FRESHWATER Concentrated Chlorinating Granules, Sodium Dichlor
• FRESHWATER Chlorine-Free Oxidizer, Monopersulfate (MPS
• FRESHWATER III high output ozone system
• FRESHWATER
Ag+ Silver Ion purifier
The
EVERFRESH
system introduces silver ions into the spa water via
erosion of silver infused beads which inhibits bacteria growth. When
combined with MPS, or chlorine, waste is oxidized and removed from
the water. It is important to follow the recommended application and
maintenance programs outlined for each product’s use. If the spa is
being used over an extended period of time, such as a whole afternoon
or evening, additional sanitizer will be needed.
Required: Weekly Super Chlorinate/Shock the spa to reactivate the
silver ion cartridge, allow the release of silver ions, and quickly destroy
any remaining contaminants. Without this weekly shock treatment, the
silver ion cartridge may stop releasing silver ions into the water.
IMPORTANT: Use only Dichlor sanitizer. Silver is not compatible with
bromine and biguanides. Don't use a water clarifier. Clarifiers will cause
the spa water to become cloudy.
MANUAL CHLORINE (SODIUM DICHLOR)
WATKINS WELLNESS recommends the use of FRESHWATER
Concentrated Chlorinating Granules (sodium dichlor) for sanitizing the
water. Sodium dichlor is preferred because it is totally soluble, dissolves
quickly, and is nearly pH neutral. The recommended Free Available
Chlorine (FAC), the amount of available chlorine sanitize the spa, 3.0-5.0
ppm.
If the FAC is too low: Increase the FAC by adding granulated sodium
dichlor.
If the FAC is too high: Allow time to pass and the FAC level will
naturally drop over time.
If the spa smells of chlorine: super chlorinate or shock the spa FAC
chlorine does not have an odor whereas combined spent chlorine
(chloramines) has a strong chlorine odor that can be eliminated by
shocking the water.
IMPORTANT: There are several forms of stabilized chlorine available
for use in spas and swimming pools. It is extremely important to choose
one specifically designed for spas. Use of an incorrect product such
as tri-chlor which has a very low pH (2.6) and dissolves too quickly in
hot water, results in extremely high levels of chlorine that WILL cause
damage to your spa. Use of a liquid or compressed bromine/chlorine
or unapproved sanitizer WILL damage your spa and is specifically not
covered under the terms of the limited warranty.
Water chemistry damage is not covered by the warranty. The chemical
levels and water quality in the spa are under your direct control.
With proper basic care, the spa will provide many years of hot water
relaxation. If you are unsure about any chemical or its usage in the spa,
contact your Authorized Dealer, or WATKINS WELLNESS .
DO:
• Add all chemicals slowly into the filter compartment with the jet pump
operating for ten minutes.
• Use special care if using baking soda to clean either the interior or
exterior plastic surfaces.
IMPORTANT: WATKINS WELLNESS DOES NOT recommend the
use of any floating chemical dispenser. Damage to the spa shell or
components caused by a floating chemical dispenser is specifically not
covered under the terms of the limited warranty. Floating dispensers can
become trapped in one area and cause an over-sanitization or release
large chunks of sanitizer that can very quickly chemically burn the shell
and cover.
DON'T:
• Use compressed sanitizers.
• Use a floater type sanitization system as a low or no maintenance
solution to your spa maintenance program.
• Use a sanitizer which is not designed for spas.
• Use swimming pool (muriatic) acid to lower pH.
• Broadcast or sprinkle the chemicals onto the water surface. This
method may cause chemically-induced spa surface blistering (chemical
abuse).
