WATER MAINTENANCE – RECOMMENDED RANGES
WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDE
Before treating your water, refer to the Model Specifications section of this manual for the correct
gallons of your spa, to ensure you are adding the correct amount of chemicals. The concentration
of active ingredients in spa chemicals varies by manufacturer, so always consult chemical
manufacturer's instructions. When adding spa chemicals, always spread them across the surface of
the water while the pumps are running. See chart below for recommended ranges.
PARAMETER
Water Clarity
Color of Water
Turbidity in FNU/NTU
Nitrate concentration above that of fill water (in mg/l) max. difference of 20 compared to
Total organic carbon (TOC) (in mg/l)
Redox potential against Ag/AgCI 3,5 M KCl in mV
pH value
e, f
Free active chlorine (without cyanuric acid) (in mg/l)
Free chlorine used in combination with cyanuric acid
(in mg/l)
Cyanuric acid (in mg/l)
Combined chlorine (in mg/l)
Bromine
(in mg/l)
When using alternative/additional disinfectants other appropriate parameters may be considered.
a
Consult national regulations and guidelines for any deviations.
b
Natural water sources may introduce water colouration.
c
Intentional water colouration is excluded.
d
When using organic compounds this value may be higher.
e
Subject to the flocculant(s) used (if any).
f
When pH is greater than 7,5 the free active chlorine is less than 50 %.
g
Temporary exceeding due to manual dosage and low water volume to user ratio is acceptable, provided the
health of the user is not compromised.
h
If national regulations allow > 100 mg/l then a suitable treatment should be applied (e.g. dilution).
i
If national regulations allow > 0,5 then a suitable treatment should be applied (e.g. dilution)
NOTE:
The Indicative physical and chemical parameters when using chlorine disinfectant outlined in this
manual are specified to comply per EU regulation (BS EN 17125:2018). Regulatory agencies in countries
outside of the EU may require different values than what is outlined here. If the spa is installed in a country
outside of the EU, check with your local regulatory body for recommended chemical levels in your area.
Improper use of chemicals may result in unsanitary and unsafe water conditions as well as unwarranted
discoloration, degradation, damage and other imperfections of the spa surface and components.
