WATER CARE Cleaning Your Swim Spa Water You need to keep your swim spa clean and ready to use. When you enter your swim spa, you bring in as much contamination as 50 people would in a normal size swimming pool! Because your swim spa is such a small, enclosed environment, it needs to be a sanitary place. We accomplish this with a simple three step process: Balance Filtration Sanitation The water that comes from your tap at home is fine for showers or bathing, because it is drained immediately after use.
WATER CARE Balance Swim spa water must have the correct chemical balance. Unbalanced water can irritate eyes, corrode the equipment, leave mineral deposits, and decrease the effectiveness of the sanitizer. Balanced water means establishing proper balance among Total Alkalinity, pH, Calcium Hardness and Total dissolved solids. (AN OVERVIEW) Monthly - For Equipment Protection CALCIUM BOOSTER (If Needed) - Calcium booster treats the water if low calcium hardness is a problem in your area.
SWIM SPA WATER MAINTENANCE Problem Possible Cause Action Total alkalinity in high range. Cloudy Water/Haze Foam Discolored Water Staining Odor Add alkalinity decreaser (acid). Target 100. pH too high or too low. Sprinkle or pour pH adjuster. Too little sanitizer in water. Test and adjust pH & sanitizer to range. Fine particles won’t filter out. Add flocculant to skimmer, run pump, then remove & clean filters. Circulation Restricted Pump sucking air. Check skimmer basket; clean.

SWIM SPA EXERCISE SUGGESTIONS - Suggested Uses Rowing Equipment Here’s another terrific workout with virtually no impact on your joints that’s easy to use. Many people think this machine is only good for the upper body, however that’s not true. Rowing targets both the upper and lower body muscles. To get started, grab the handle and adjust your stance until your legs are bent a little more than 90 degrees and your arms are straight out in front of you.
SWIM SPA EXERCISE SUGGESTIONS (CONT.) Ankle Straps Legs, Hips, Thighs, Knees and Ankles The ankle strap can be used to strengthen the entire lower body. It is fairly simple to use and is popular for use with men and women. Women tend to use the ankle strap to strengthen and firm the thighs and hips but especially for the buttocks. Men use the product more so for strengthening the legs.

GENERAL SWIM SPA MAINTENANCE Proper Maintenance For Your Swim spa Pillows • Your swim spa pillows need to be rinsed periodically to remove any chemical residue. This should help to eliminate pillows becoming stiff and discolored. • If swim spa is not to be used for a period of time, pillows should be removed. Pillow life will be extended.
GENERAL SWIM SPA MAINTENANCE Proper Maintenance For Your Swim spa Cover 1) Use a soft broom to remove accumulation after every snowfall or ice storm. 2) Splash cool tap water on the hardware to free them if they become frozen shut. Household lubricating oil will keep the lock free, but apply carefully because it can damage the cabinet finish. 3) We recommend a good treatment with vinyl conditioner before the first snow or ice. If possible, treat during the winter too. 4) Monitor your water chemistry.
GENERAL SWIM SPA MAINTENANCE DRAINING YOUR SWIM SPA Because your swim spa holds a relatively small amount of water, contaminants such as body oil, perspiration, dirt, hair, etc., may become quite concentrated. For this reason, the water should be drained and replaced every three months depending on use. • Turn off power at the breaker. • Hook up a garden hose to the hose bib located on the exterior drain of the cabinet.
WINTERIZING YOUR SWIM SPA WARNING! In areas of the country where the temperatures drop below 32° F, it is important to follow these directions: When winterizing the swim spa, we recommend putting RV antifreeze in the swim spa and running it before draining the swim spa. 1) If the swim spa is not going to be used, drain completely. Be sure all water is removed. Break or loosen unions at each end of pump to ensure water from pump area is removed. Remove pump freeze plugs if so equipped.
