Swim Spa Operator’s Guide

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.

WATER CARE

(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. It will help prevent equipment corrosion and foaming by raising the swim

spa’s water hardness level to an acceptable range of 120 ppm.

Filter Cleaning

Keep your lter free of grease, grime, and oil. Clean the lter with Swim spa CARTRIDGE FILTER

CLEAN. One 16 oz. bottle treats a 55’ lter (1525cm). See Filter Maintenance section for location

and diagram.

AS NEEDED

Surface Cleaning

Between rells and as needed, clean the surface using Swim spa MULTI-PURPOSE CLEANER.

For tough scale & stains, use STAIN & SCALE REMOVER.

Surface Protection

To protect and seal the swim spa surface, use Swim spa FAST GLOSS every time you drain and

clean the swim spa.

Water Balance

Adjust the pH quickly and easily with pH STABILIZER. It will properly adjust and hold the pH for up

to 3 months. Note: Not recommended for calcium hardness levels above 200 ppm. Use Swim spa

UP to raise pH and Swim spa DOWN to lower pH.

Sanitizing

Use 2 ounces of SODIUM BROMIDE to create a bromide reserve. When using BROMINATING

TABLETS in a oating basket, two to three tablets will treat up to 500 gallons (1893 Liters) of water.

For a chlorine system, use CHLORINATING GRANULES (1/2 oz. per 500 gallons) (1893 Liters).

Mineral Protection

STAIN & SCALE REMOVER - This prevents staining, rust and corrosion, caused by metals in the

source water. One bottle will treat up to 500 gallons (1893 Liters) for up to 3 months.

Foam Control

To control foaming, use Swim spa FOAM DOWN. For added convenience, use just 3 drops of Swim

spa FOAM DOWN CONCENTRATE.

Skin Conditioning

To prevent dry skin, pour SKIN SOFTENER directly into the swim spa. It soothes and moisturizes.

Algae Control

For swim spas with green or yellow algae, use Swim spa ALGAECIDE to kill and prevent further

algae growth.
