WATERQUALITYAND MAINTENANCE
WATERQUALITY
Safe,comfortableandcleanspawaterisafairlysimpletasktoachieve,butitdoes
requireattentionbecauseofthenumerousfactorsthatcanalter it(waterusedtofillthe
spa,watertemperature,userload,etc.).
Spawatermaintenanceconsistsofthreeseparateprograms:
· sanitization
· pHbalancingandmaintainingtherecommendedmineralcontentlevel
· achievingandmaintaining thewaterclarity
Forchemicalsandwaterqualitymaintenance aids,consultyourAquaSpa dealer.
Sanitizers
Sanitizermust beusedregularlytodestroybacteriaandorganiccompoundsinthespa
water.
Chlorine,bromineandalsosomenonchlorine bsaedchemicalsarethemostwidely
useddisinfectantsformaintainingproperlybalancedwater.
pHbalance
pH(potentialHydrogen)isameasureofyourwater’sacidityoralkalinity.The
measurement scalerunsfrom014.RecommendedpHlevelsforspawaterarepH7.2
7.6.Waterwith a pH levelabove7.8canallowlimescaletoform,becomeexcessively
cloudyand can reducetheeffectivenessofsanitizers.
TotalAlkalinity
Totalalkalinityreferstotheamountof allalkalinesaltsinthewater.Totalalkalinityof
spawatershould bemaintainedwithintherangeof80120mg/l.ThiswillkeepthepH
stableandhelppreventagainstscalingandcloudywater.Chemicalsusedtomaintain
totalalkalinityareavailablefromyourdealer.
TotalHardness
Totalhardnessreferstotheamountof calciumandmagnesiuminthewater.
HighpHlevels canproducescaledepositsonaspa’ssurface andalsointhe pump
equipment.
Tomaintainwaterclarity additionalchemicals suchas flocculants,algaecides,
antifoamagentscanbeused.ConsultwithyourAquaSpadealerformoredetails.

BALANCINGYOURSPAWATER
CAUTION: Neverplacesanitizersandotherchemicals directlyonthespashellasit
willdamagethesurface.Useadispenserorplacethesanitizertabletsinthefilter
basket.
· Testthespawaterusingwaterteststrips.
· Checkandadjustchlor ine/sanitzer level(recommendedleveloffreechlorinein
thewateris0.2 – 0.5mg/l.Alsononchlorinesanitizercanbeused)
· CheckandadjustpH(7. 27.6) byusingpHminusorpHpluschemicals;total
alkalinityshouldbe80to120mg/l.
· Useother additivesaccordingtothewaterqualityifnecessary –metalinhibitor
forbreaking downmetaldeposits,mineralsurfaceprotectorforscaledepositcontrol,etc.
RECOMMENDEDWATERMAINTENANCEPROCEDURE
13times aweek:
· Checkwaterlevel
· Checkandadjustsanitizerlevel
· CheckandadjustpH
Onceaweek:
· Sprayfiltercartridgetoremovelooseparticles
· Everyonetotwoweeksinspectandcleanthespafiltercartridgesusingsuitable
detergent.Ifthefilterisnotcleanedonregularbasis,thefiltermayclogandrestrictwater
flow,whichcausesimproperfiltrationandpoorjetperformance.
· Drainyourspaeverythree – fourmonths.
CHEMICALSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Donotkeepyourwatertreatment chemicals outside.
KEEPALLCHEMICALSOUTOFTHEREACHOFCHILDREN!
· Alwaysreadyourchemicalkit’sinstructionsbeforeaddinganything tothespa
water.
· Alwaysusebrandnamespachemicals. Consultyourdealerwho willknow
howtousethespachemicalsandwher etobuythem.
· Neverusespachemicalsif youdonotknowhowtousethem.
· Remembertoalwaysmaintainasafeandideallevelof chemicalsinthespa’s
water.
· Failuretokeepthespa’swaterclean,balanced,andfilteredmayresultin
cloggedjetsand calcificationtothespa’ssurface,whichmayresultindiscoloration,
texturetobecomerough,andtocrack,heatertocalcifyandstopheating,filtertoget
cloggedmoreoften,andpumpstoleakorcrackaroundtheunionsandseals.
· Itisyourresponsibility toalwaysmaintainclean,balanced,andsafewater.
Improperwaterchemistrybalancecandamagethe spasurfaces,and/orequipment andis
notcoveredunderyourwarranty.
