Balance water by following STEPS
IMPORTANT:
chemical packages. Add balancing chemicals in small increments one at a
time with the jets on and wait 6 hours before testing again and adding any
additional balancing chemicals.
a.
Take a water sample from the hot
tub and dip a FROG Test Strip into it.
b.
Look at the Total Alkalinity reading first. Adjustments
should be made to bring the Total Alkalinity in the range of
80 – 120 ppm prior to making any adjustments to pH even if
it throws pH off further.
c.
After Total Alkalinity is in range, test for pH. It should be
between 7.2 and 7.8. If higher or lower, add a pH adjuster.
Fill hot tub with fresh water.
If using source water that is high in
Metal
iron or other metals, see your dealer

before filling the hot tub. It may
require the use of a metal control

Clean or replace filter cartridges
when dirty.

Always follow printed instructions on the balancing
Water Balance Guidelines
pH: 7.2 - 7.8
Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
Hardness: 150 - 250 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids: <1500
Cyanuric Acid: 0 - 50 ppm

d.
Lastly test for Hardness. It should be between 150 and 250
ppm. If higher, partially drain the hot tub (about 6 inches) and fill with
water low in calcium. If lower, add Calcium Increaser.
If balancing takes longer than 2 days, shock the water and
maintain a chlorine level while continuing balancing.

and before using cartridges, establish
an initial residual of 1.0 - 2.0 ppm free
chlorine with FROG Jump Start

an effervescent fizzing action – one
packet per 600 gallons.

Heat water to the manufacturer's recommended
temperature.
Step 2: Set the Cartridges
Set the blue FROG Serene Mineral
Cartridge to #6 (hold the bottom and
turn the top until 6 appears in the win-
