Sanitizing Sanitizing the water destroys harmful organisms and keeps your spa healthy and safe. Three commonly used spa sanitizer or oxidizing agents are bromine, chlorine and ozone. Chlorine or bromine are chemicals that you add to the water. Ozone is a gas that is produced by an ozonator and injected into the water. It is important that a residual of sanitizer remain in your water. High water temperature, aeration and use will increase the need for sanitizer.
changing or replenishing the spa water. ENGLISH FRANÇAIS Sanitizing with Ozone Spas vary in size, as well as frequency and conditions of use. For this reason you will need to establish your sanitizing program based upon your own personal use. When using ozone, you should start by balancing your water chemistry as you normally would. A spa should run and be ozonated a minimum of six hours per day. If your spa is heavily used, this time should be increased.
NOTE: Do NOT attempt to use the pump to drain the spa. NOTE: Close all drain valves and replace caps prior to refilling the spa. NOTE: When refilling the spa, you may need to bleed air from the system. Refer to Priming Your Spa, pg. 16 for instructions. Filter Maintenance NOTE: It is not necessary to drain the spa in order to clean the filter. The removable filter cartridges are located in the filter canister behind the weir door.
ENGLISH FRANÇAIS complicated procedure. When at all possible this should be done by a spa service center. A freeze damaged spa can be expensive to fix. With that in mind here are some basic winterizing tips that will help you remove enough of the water and add enough RV Antifreeze to keep your plumbing from freezing. What you will need; 1. A wet /dry (shop vac) vacuum. 2. 1 to 3 gallons or RV antifreeze (nontoxic, used in Recreational Vehicles water tanks) 3.
To clean the spa cabinet, rinse dirt and dust regularly with clear water. To remove stubborn dirt, grime, and mild discoloration, wash with a mild detergent and warm water. Protect spa finish - always keep cover on the spa when not in use. Spa Surface Care and Cleaning Your spa shell surface is made of acrylic. A minimum amount of care and cleaning will keep your spa looking new for years. Use a spa cleaner for residue and lime build-up at the water level of the spa surface.
ENGLISH FRANÇAIS encasement in the sun and foam cores in the shade to dry. (Do not put foam cores in the sun – they will melt!) Once everything is dry, spray the cores and inside the encasement with a mildew inhibitor like Pine Sol®. Allow all to dry completely, and then reassemble. The key here is to maintain proper water chemistry to avoid mildew. If you are using WD-40 to free the Sure-Locs, try using a Q-tip to keep the WD-40 away from your cabinet. (It can damage the finish.
