WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE START-UP
21
For ECO PURâ„¢ Water Filter System
Step 1: Your spa should be filled using a Pre-filter, which can be obtained
from your local dealer. This Pre-filter will help remove many of the
minerals existing in the water, which will make adjusting the water
balance easier after a new fill.
Step 2: During the initial filling of the swim spa, add a sequestering agent to
combat suspended minerals in the water. The agents are sold under
many different names such as Mineral Clear, Stain and Scale, and
other brands. Allow water to circulate and filter for at least 12 hours
before adding any other chemicals.
Step 3: Test water for pH, total Alkalinity, and Calcium hardness. The pH
should be 7.2 - 7.8 and the total Alkalinity 80-150 PPM. Calcium
hardness levels should be maintained between 150 and 250 PPM
(part per million).
Step 4: Adjust pH, total Alkalinity (TA) and Calcium hardness utilizing
the directions on the chemical bottles provided by your dealers
start up kit.
Step 5: It may be necessary to retest and add additional chemicals to get
to the proper levels in Step 3.
Step 6: Add 2 oz. of concentrated chlorinating granules (sodium
Dichlor-s-triazinetreone) per 500 gallons on initial start up to
begin sanitizing the spa water. It is important not to add the
chlorinating granules until the pH, alkalinity and calcium
hardness have been adjusted to their proper levels.
SPECIAL NOTE:
We recommend a minimum level of 1.0 ppm residual chlorine be maintained in
the spa water.
* It may be necessary to rinse your filters within the first few days after filling your spa
to ensure that they are not restricting water flow due to the initial removal of heavy
contaminents in source water.
