Enzyme Oil Gone: (Oil Remover)
Enzyme Oil Gone:
This chemical will help break-down excessive amounts of body and other oils in the spa water.
Body oil, perspiration, lotions and tanning oil will quickly accumulate in your spa if your not careful.
The best solution is prevention. Always watch what goes onto your body because it will eventually end up in your spa water.
How to Use Enzyme Oil Gone:
1. Add 1/2 oz. of Enzyme Oil Gone to a spa running on filter speed. Allow spa to filter until the spa water no longer feels or looks
oily. We recommend placing your spa in filter mode "FC" (24 Hour Filtration Mode) during this time.
(See the Setting Filtration Cycles section in your owners manual.)
2. You may find the need to add this product to your weekly chemical maintenance plan. If so, simply repeat step one (1) once a
week. (Weekly dosages do not generally require additional filtration time.)
Water Temperature and Its Effects:
Water Temperature:
The actual water temperature will greatly effect how efficient your spas chemistry is.
Here is an example of what hot water can do to your water and chemicals.
Hot Spa Water: (100˚ - 104˚ F)
1. Increases water evaporation.
2. Increases chemical dissipation.
3. Increases amount of spa user waste.
4. Accumulation of minerals and salts.
5. Increases Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
As you can imagine, there is an inverse effect with cooler water temperatures.
Does this mean that you should not operate your spa at higher water temperatures? No. We just want you to be aware that your chemical
usage will increase or decrease with the actual water temperature.
Water pH and its Effects:
Water pH: (Potential Hydrogen)
pH is the measurement of the acidic level of water. The normal range of your spas pH level is between 7.2 to 7.8 and can be tested with
simple test strips. What will happen to my spa with pH levels either too high or too low?
Low pH:
The lower your pH, the more acidic your water will become. That's right. Acid! Effects of low pH are, dissolving or pitting heaters, man-
ifolds, pump seals, and in some cases the acrylic finish itself.
High pH:
The effects of high pH are increased scaling, calcium deposits, cloudy water, clogged filters and effectiveness of you sanitizers: Chlorine
and Bromine.
What Affects the pH:
Everything that is introduced into the spa water has its own pH level, including you. All of these different pH levels can cause conflict
with the spa waters ability to maintain its correct pH levels.
