2) PROTECT PLUS - This prevents a calcium build up. Use 2 oz. on a weekly
basis.
3) CALCIUM BOOSTER (If Needed) - Calcium booster treats the water if low
calcium hardness is a problem in your area. It will help prevent
equipment corrosion and foaming by raising the spa's water hardness
level to an acceptable range of 120 ppm.
Cleaning Your Spa Water
Filling Spa With Water
You need to keep you spa clean and ready to use. When you enter your spa,
you bring in as much contaminant as 50 people would in a normal size
swimming pool! Because your spa is such a small, enclosed environment, it
needs to be a sanitary place. We accomplish this with a simple three step
process:
WARNING: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with
manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING: Please be careful with chemicals - damage to the
surface of the spa can occur due to the improper use of chemicals
such as trichlor or chlorine, chemical tablets, acids or spa cleaners.
Do not let undissolved chemicals lie on the surface of the spa.
This could invalidate your warranty. Improper water chemistry
balance can damage the spa and invalidate your warranty.
The water that comes from your tap at home is fine for showers or bathing,
because it is drained immediately after use. In a spa, your water is used for
up to three months. Hot water is a breeding ground for bacteria, so sanitizing
becomes necessary, as well as maintaining a specific mineral balance. Having
that mineral balance in place ensures that the water, which is naturally corrosive
to metal, will not cause damage to the spa equipment. We recommend monthly
water testing.
When filling the spa, use 2 ounces of SODIUM BROMIDE to create a bromide
reserve. When using BROMINATING TABLETS, 2 ounces will treat up to 500
gallons of water. For chlorine system, use CHLORINATING GRANULES
(1/2 oz. per 500 gallons).
Once the spa has been filled to the correct level and pumps are primed and
running add:
1) STAIN & SCALE REMOVER- This prevents staining, rust and corrosion,
caused by metals in the source water. One bottle will treat up to 500
gallons for up to 3 months.

Water temperature can be adjusted by 1˚
Setting water temperature:
An irregularly flashing "Filter Cycle" icon means that the system has stopped filtering after 3 hours
because water temperature exceeds Set Point by more than 2˚F (1˚C). If temperature cools
down to 1˚F (0.5˚C) above Set Point before the scheduled end of the cycle, filtering will resume
for the remainder of the programmed duration.
