WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE START-UP
32
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 spa, add a sequestering agent to combat suspend-
ed minerals in the water. The agents are sold under many different names such as
Mineral Clear, Stain and Scale, and other brands.
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 main-
tained 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 sanitizer. It is important not to add sanitizer until the pH, alkalinity and cal-
cium hardness have been adjusted to their proper levels.
