Keep it Balanced Balanced water allows your sanitizers to work more efficiently to eliminate bacteria and germs. Balanced water will help water sparkle, protect spa equipment, reduce odors and reduce eye and skin irritation. The key water balance factors to test are pH, total alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Before filling your spa, you should know the properties of the water you are using to fill your spa, also called “source water”.
Keep It Clean You and your guests will benefit from a spa that has clean, sparkling water. Using a sanitizer in spa water is a vital step in having water that looks great, feels great, and has no odor. SpaPure has superior sanitizer options that can help you achieve the clean you need. Bromine Sanitizing Bromine is a popular method of treating spas and hot tubs because it is less likely to cause offensive odors and skin irritation in the spa, and it will not dissipate rapidly- even in hot water.
SAFETY – You and Your Spa Follow these simple steps to ensure that your spa time is a safe one. • Your spa or hot tub should never be set above 104°F • Do not consume alcohol when using the spa • Shower before entering the spa • Limit your time in the spa to 20 minutes each time you use the spa • Never allow children to use spa without adult supervision Periodically you will need to use water care products to maintain your spa water.
Spa Care = Easy Just like your home or car, your spa needs periodic care. From routine maintenance to issues that may arise, your SpaPure authorized dealer is prepared to answer any questions. These recommendations are for a residential spa with light to moderate use. If your spa is used more frequently, balance and sanitizer levels should be checked more frequently. The water in the spa may also need to be changed more frequently as well. Filling Your Spa 1.
Need Help? If you are not able to contact your local dealer concerning a spa water issue, you may want to ask yourself these questions: When was the spa “shocked” last?

Are the water balance factors (pH, total alkalinity, calcium) in the acceptable ranges? If water is out of balance then water may become cloudy or smelly.
