Owner`s manual

No matter how great of a job you do maintaining your spa water, the time will come when you must drain

the old water and reﬁll your spa. Typically, spa water can be maintained for approximately 60 days.

Based on your spa usage, you may need to change the water sooner. Each time you drain and reﬁll your

spa, you will need to do the following.

!1.!Drain all of the spa water according to the directions found in your owner's manual. If

! ! you are not sure of something, contact Eastgate Pools for additional help.

!2.!While the spa is drained down, thoroughly clean the spa’s shell with White

! ! ! ! ! River Spa Clean. Complete instructions are on the label.

!3.!At this time, you should chemically clean your ﬁlter cartridge with white river

! ! ! ! fc-5 ﬁlter cleaner. If your ﬁlter is showing signs of wear, or if the ﬁlter can

! ! ! ! no longer be cleaned thoroughly, see your White River dealer for a replacement

! ! ! ! ﬁlter cartridge.

! 4.! Reﬁll your spa.

! 5.! As you did when the spa was ﬁrst ﬁlled, add 3 ounces of White River Mineral

!!!!Remover per 500 gallons of water.

!6.!Test the spa water and adjust the total alkalinity and pH levels, if needed.

! 7.! On spas using bromine, don’t forget to add SPA SODIUM BROMINE SHOCK at the

! ! ! ! rate of ! 1/2 ounce per 100 gallons. Adjust and ﬁll the brominator if needed. If

! ! ! ! ! your spa is equipped with a Nature

Spa Puriﬁer that is 4 months old,

! ! ! ! ! it should be replaced. Do not forget to add the proper start up dose of White

! ! ! ! ! River Oxidizer and the recommended dose of granular chlorine. (Any time that the

! ! ! Nature

is replaced, the spa should be drained and reﬁlled with fresh water.)

! 8.! Let the spa water heat back up to the desired temperature and enjoy.

Specialized Chemistry Considerations

Even the best cared for and “balanced” spa will occasionally need a few other chemicals added to its

water to keep everything in good shape. These other chemicals are commonly referred to as specialty

chemicals. In this section we will look at some of the common ones and their usage. (Please, always

read the manufacturer’s directions and warnings before using any chemical in your spa.)

White River Foam Out

It is normal for spas to produce foam when the jets are running on high speed. This problem
