3.5 Water Maintenance
Step 1: Filling your plunge
o For best results, it’s recommended that you fill your plunge with filtered water. In-line water hose filter
attachments are readily available at local hardware stores, pool supply stores, and online at Amazon.
Step 2: Turn on your ozone
o It’s recommended that you set you ozone pump to run for 2 minutes 5 minutes minimum. This
frequency will efficiently help sanitize the water in your plunge.
Note: The effectiveness of ozone is dependent on balanced water. If the water in your plunge has
unbalanced pH or Alkalinity your ozone will become less effective.
Step 3: Treat your water
IMPORTANT: Leaving your water untreated can cause rapid erosion to the system and is not covered under
warranty. Additionally, it’s incredibly harmful to the skin to bathe in corrosive water.
o Add a 1 tsp of spa shock oxidizer granular (or the recommended ppm of liquid, tablets, or other oxidizer
form).
o Wait 15 minutes.
o Test your water. Use a test strip following instructions on bottle.
o Ideal Total Alkalinity Range: 125-150 ppm
o Ideal pH is between 7.2 and 7.8.
o Adjust your water using Alkalinity and/or pH increaser/decreaser.
o Wait 15 minutes before making any adjustments.
o Adjust 1 tsp at a time and retest after 15 minutes. Repeat until you have the ideal results.
o We highly endorse using a water conditioner after balancing your water. This will lock in your pH &
Alkalinity levels for extended periods of time.
o Test your water daily and adjust as needed.
Step 4: Change your filter
IMPORTANT: It’s recommended that you change your filter every 20 plunges, or as needed.
o Turn your pump off.
o Close your inlet/outlet valves on your plunge.
o Use the filter wrench to unscrew the filter housing.
o Dispose of the old filter.
o Replace with a new filter, then screw filter housing back on.
NOTE: Make sure the gasket on the filter housing is properly in place before screwing the filter housing back
on. Failure to do so could result in water damage when turning the chiller back on.
Step 5: Test your water
o It’s recommended that you test your water daily, or as needed.
o It’s recommended that you contact your local pools & spas dealer to complete a comprehensive lab
water test and chemical maintenance protocol.
Step 6: Change your water
o It’s recommended that you change the water in your tub weekly, or as needed.
o Once your water is foggy or highly unbalanced, you must change the water immediately.
