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
store 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 retail store 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
store.
• 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. Beachcomber’s 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.
