SPA CARE AND MAINTENANCE Care Of Spa Cover To clean and condition the vinyl cover: Remove the cover from the spa and gently lean it up against a wall or fence. Using a garden hose, spray the cover to loosen and rinse away any dirt or debris. Using a sponge and/or a soft bristle brush, and using a very mild soap solution (one teaspoon dishwashing liquid with two gallons of water), or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), scrub the vinyl top in a circular motion.
WATER QUALITY AND MAINTENANCE Water Quality In Your Spa The quality of the water in your spa is important and must be kept clean. Your program will vary depending on your water’s mineral content, and how often you use your spa, and the amount of people using it. Here are our suggested step-by-step procedures: General Information - The three fundamental areas of water maintenance.
Page 21
WATER QUALITY AND MAINTENANCE Balancing Total Alkalinity (TA) The recommended Total Alkalinity (TA) for your spa water is 125-150 ppm. Total Alkalinity is measure of the total levels of carbonates, bicarbonates, hydroxides, and other alkaline substances in the water. TA is referred to as the water’s “pH buffer”. It’s a measure of the ability of the water to resist changes in pH level.

WATER QUALITY AND MAINTENANCE Maintaining Sanitizer Level Sanitizer is extremely important for killing algae, bacteria and viruses, and preventing unwanted organisms from growing in the spa. At the same time, you don’t want too high a sanitizer level, or it can irritate your skin, lungs, and eyes. Always maintain the sanitizer level in your spa at the recommended level for each type of sanitizer.
Page 23
WATER QUALITY AND MAINTENANCE Reagent: A chemical material in liquid, powder, or tablet form for use in chemical testing. Sanitizer: Sanitizers are added and maintained at recommended residuals to protect bathers against pathogenic organisms which can cause disease and infection in spa water. Scale: Rough calcium-bearing deposits that can coat spa surfaces, heaters, plumbing lines and clog filters.
