BEACHCOMBER’S RECOMMENDED PARAMETERS
FOR BALANCED HOT TUB WATER
Your dealer may recommend slightly different
levels depending on your local source water.
Please see your dealer for more information by
taking a water sample in to be analyzed.
Water Care and Chemistry
This is a very important component to protect your
hot tub and its equipment. Failure to maintain
proper water balance could damage your hot tub
and equipment and affect your guarantee. Your
dealer can provide you with free water analysis,
treatment and home testing products.
SANITIZER LEVEL
Always maintain an adequate sanitizer level.
Failure to do so will result in cloudy water, odor
and skin or respiratory problems. The ideal
range is 3 - 5 ppm. Check daily with test strips
or a test kit available from your Beachcomber
Dealership.
Always follow the label instructions on
water care chemicals:
• Keep out of reach of children;
• Do not mix products together;
• Add one product at a time;
• Add chemical to water, not water to chemicals;
• Store chemicals in a cool, dry place,
• Do not allow liquids to freeze.
PH LEVEL: IDEAL 7.2 - 7.8
This determines the acidity or alkalinity of your
water, 7.0 being neutral. Water that is too acidic
or too alkaline can damage your hot tub; Test
your pH every week or more often if possible.
Use pH Plus or pH Minus to adjust.
TOTAL ALKALINITY: IDEAL 100 - 120 ppm
Balance total alkalinity to stabilize your pH level,
prevent scaling and ensure your sanitizer works
at peak efficiency. Use Resist to increase the level
or pH Minus to lower. Adjust at initial fill and
when refilling or topping up.
CALCIUM HARDNESS: IDEAL 150 - 200 ppm
Too high a level can cause cloudy water or scaling
on the hot tub surface and heating element.
Too low a level can lead to excess foaming in the
water. Use Protect to increase the level, use fresh
water dilution to lower. Adjust at initial fill and
when refilling.
OTHER IMPORTANT CONDITIONERS
1. Metal and mineral sequestering product
must be added to keep any metals or
minerals in the water in solution.
Use Eliminate #1 at initial fill.
2. Scale inhibitor prevents calcium buildup
forming on surfaces in the hot tub.
Use Eliminate Plus #2 at initial fill and weekly.
3. Clarifier agglomerates tiny particles in the water
making them easier to be picked up by the
Microfilter. It also provides lubrication to seals.
Use Pure Blue at initial fill and weekly.
4. Enzymes, a natural compound, eliminates
scum and organic contaminants.
Use Purezyme #3 at initial fill and weekly.
