WATER QUALITY AND MAINTENANCE

G E N E R AL GUID E L I NES FOR WAT E R

Q UA L I T Y MAIN T E N A N C E

Maintaining water quality within specific limits

will enhance your enjoyment and prolong the

life of the spa. Safe, comfortable and clean spa

water is a fairly simple task to achieve, but it

does require attention because of the

numerous factors that can alter it. There is no

one formula to be followed because of the

variables, i.e. quality of the water used to fill

the spa, water temperature, user load, etc. For

specific guidelines for water quality

maintenance, consult your local Spa dealer

who can assist you to develop a program

based on your specific needs. Disregard for

water maintenance will result in poor soaking

conditions, damage your spa investment, and

possibly void your warranty.

S PA WATER MAINTENANCE CO N S I STS OF

T H REE SEPA R ATE, EAS ILY DEVELO P E D

PR O G RA M S :

Sanitizing and maintaining a safe level of

sanitizer in the spa water. Balancing the pH and

maintaining the recommended mineral content

level. Achieving and maintaining water clarity.

SA N I T I Z IN G

To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in

the spa water, a sanitizer must be used

regularly. The use of ozone as an oxidizer has

proven to be an effective method to help

maintain water cleanliness, but a residual

chemical sanitizer such as bromine, the most

common sanitizer used in spas, must be used

in conjunction with ozone. Do not drop

bromine tablets directly in the spa. The use of

a floater is required to dispense safely and

properly the right amount of bromine in the

spa water. A bromine residual of 2 to 3 PPM

is generally considered desirable. A two-part

bromine system or granular chlorine (Dichlor)

are also acceptable sanitizers.

pH CO N T R O L

pH is a measure of acidity and alkalinity of the

spa water. The recommended pH for spa

water is 7.4 to 7.6 PPM. Below 7. 0

(considered neutral), the spa water is acidic

and can cause damage to the heating system.

Above 7.8 the water is too alkaline and can

result in cloudy water and scale formation on

the spa shell, heater and cover.

IMP O R TANT: NEVER USE CHLO R INE

TA BL ETS (TRI C HLOR) IN YO UR SPA .

This chemical can have an extremely corrosive

effect on certain materials in the spa. Also, the

use of liquids, chlorine or acid, are not

recommended. Damage caused by use of any

chemical, is not covered under the spa

warranty.
