Maintenance Treatment
Once bacteria and other wastes are neutralized by the sanitizer, they stay in
the water unless oxidized or shocked. Often called chloramines or
bromamines, they create dull, cloudy water and can cause odor and eye or
skin irritation. Shock treatment rids your spa of these wastes for clear,
sparkling water. Shocking with non-chlorine Spa Shock or granular Chlorine
Sanitizer is recommended once a week or whenever the water appears dull
or cloudy or has a strong odor. Non-chlorine Spa Shock allows use of the spa
15 minutes after shock treatment.
NOTE: A strong bromine or chlorine odor typically indicates the spa needs to be
shocked – not that there is too much bromine or chlorine in the water. A properly
balanced spa that is shocked regularly will not have an odor.
SANITIZE
ConstantClean™ System (option)
The ConstantClean™ system utilizes a combination of sanitizers to increase
water quality and significantly decrease maintenance. The combination of a Spa
Frog® Mineral Cartridge* and the factory installed ozonator greatly reduce the
amount of sanitizer required. Instead of the normal 3 - 5 ppm of bromine, you
may only need to maintain 1 - 2 ppm of bromine.
NOTE: The use of Spa Frog® floating cartridges is recommended. Do not use
other floating chemical dispensers or Biguanide. Damage to the spa shell and
other internal components can occur.
* The built-in sanitation system is not available in some international markets.
However, the ozone system is available on all spa models in all countries.
Please see your dealer for recommended alternate treatment method if the built-
in sanitation system is not available.
BUILT-IN SANITATION SYSTEM*
After shocking the spa water with Chlorine Sanitizer granules or non-chlorine
Spa Shock, bring the spa water to operating temperature. Then install the Spa
Frog® cartridges.
ADJUST THE MINERAL CARTRIDGE
Remove the protective cellophane wrap from the Spa Frog® mineral cartridge.
While holding the bottom of the cartridge, turn the top until the number six
appears in the setting window.
NOTE: The mineral cartridge should be replaced every three to four months.
You will still feel the "spent" minerals inside, but they are no longer effective and
the cartridge needs to be replaced. It is recommended to drain and refill the spa
at the same time you replace the mineral cartridge.
ADJUST THE BROMINE CARTRIDGE
Remove the protective cellophane wrap from the Spa Frog® bromine cartridge.
Finding the right setting for the bromine cartridge will require monitoring your
usage for the first few weeks. Begin with an initial setting based on the chart
below and monitor bromine levels daily for the first week or so, adjusting the
cartridge by one setting per day until a 3 - 5 ppm level has been achieved. To
adjust cartridge, remove from system and turn to the next highest setting if the
bromine level is low or the next lower setting if the bromine level is high. The
bromine cartridge needs to be replaced when empty between two and four
weeks. Always maintain 3 - 5 ppm of bromine.

INSTALL THE CARTRIDGES
Locate and remove the cartridge holder cap on the top lip of the spa. Push down
and turn the holder counterclockwise to unlock. Lift holder out. Snap the Spa
Frog® mineral cartridge into the area of the holder marked "MINERALS" (top
portion), making sure to line up the indentation near the top of the cartridge with
the raised line on the holder. Then snap the Spa Frog® bromine cartridge into
the area of the holder marked "BROMINE". Be sure to line up the indentation on
the cartridge with the raised line on the holder. After cartridges are snapped in,

return the holder, push down, and then turn clockwise to lock into place.
Replace the cap.
CAUTION: Hand-tighten only; avoid over tightening; avoid bending the holder to
help prevent damage to the holder. Damage caused due to improper removal or
installation of chemical cartridge holder is not covered under the warranty. Cartridge
holder is warranted to be free from defects at time of delivery of spa. Chemical
cartridge holders do not qualify for labor coverage. These parts can be purchased or
exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis Spas® dealer.
REMOVE THE CARTRIDGES
Reverse above procedures to remove cartridges.

treatment method.
WATER CARE REGIMEN
Marquis SpaCare™ products are classified by easy to follow usage guidelines.
The information below indicates whether the product should be used daily,
weekly, monthly, when filling, or as needed – if special water conditions arise.
DAILY
Sanitizer
Maintain 1 - 2 ppm of sanitizer at all times.
WEEKLY
Spa Shock
Sanitizer combines with bacteria and neutralizes sanitizer/bacteria on
contact. However, the used sanitizer/bacteria particle is still present in the
spa water. Used sanitizer in the water emits a chlorine odor and causes
cloudy water. To oxidize, or rid the spa of this used sanitizer, you must shock
the spa once a week. NOTE: Additional shocking may be necessary if the
spa is under heavy use.
AS NEEDED PRODUCTS
pH & Alkalinity Increase and pH & Alkalinity Decrease
These two products work to raise or lower the pH and alkalinity levels in the
spa and are only needed if the test strip indicates the levels are not in the
ideal range.
Water Clarifier
Microscopic particles can pass right through the spa filter and create cloudy
water. The use of Marquis SpaCare™ Water Clarifier combines these
microscopic particles into larger particles that can be trapped in the filter to
clear cloudy water.
Spa Defoamer
If foam appears in your spa, the action of the jets will keep it from dissipating.
Use Marquis SpaCare™ Spa Defoamer to instantly rid your spa water of
foam.
Metal and Stain Remover
Metal and Stain Remover will remove metals such as iron and copper from
spa water.
WATER CARE TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: If you request a service call and no problem is found with the spa or the
problem is not covered by warranty (i.e. chemical damage), you will be charged
at the regular service rate.
