5) Take a sample of water to your dealer to test for alkalinity, calcium and total dissolved solids.
6) WHEN TO DRAIN SPA WATER. Due to the warm water temperature and high evaporation rate, the total
dissolved solids tend to build up. For this reason we recommend draining and refilling the spa every 2 to 4
months - depending on usage.
7) Clean your filter(s) at least once every two weeks or after heavy bather loads, by soaking your filter(s) in
cartridge cleaner. Dirty filters cause the heater to shut off or the spa temperature to drift lower than desired.
NOTE: Remove any objects floating on the water before removing skimmer basket and filter or they may be sucked
into the pump.
NOTE: Spas should not be left running unattended without filters. Remove filters for cleaning. Always turn off the spa
before removing the cartridge(s) Debris can enter plumbing and cause damage.

CHEMICAL SAFETY TIPS

Read the Directions Carefully
1) Always add chemicals to water, never add water to chemicals.
2) Do not mix chemicals.
3) Store chemicals in a cool dry place - out of reach of children.
4) In case of contact or if chemical is swallowed, follow emergency advice on product label.
5) Do not smoke near chemicals. Keep the container closed when not in use.

Water Balance

Water balance is important to the overall performance of your spa. No 2 spa's water conditions are exactly alike. The
water source, location of the spa and frequency of use all effect the water balance. Unbalanced water can damage the
equipment, especially the heater element, make the water uncomfortable for the user, and decrease the effectiveness
of the disinfectant. Total alkalinity, pH, and calcium hardness must be within the correct range to balance the water.
Damage to equipment caused by improper water chemistry is not covered by warranty.

pH

Simply pH is a scale indicating whether spa water is basic, neutral or acidic. Spa water should be slightly basic 7.2 to
7.6; 7.8 with an ozonator in operation. A low pH below 7.2 leads to corrosion of spa equipment and will irritate the skin
of the bathers. The sanitizer will dissipate more rapidly. A low pH can be corrected by adding a pH Increaser.
