Hot Tub Water Balance; General Overview - Hydropool Serenity 45L Owner's Manual

HOT TUB WATER BALANCE – GENERAL OVERVIEW
NOTABLE POINTS
·
The reliability and longevity of your hot tub support equipment are directly related to how well water quality
is maintained!
·
The small volume of water in your hot tub is easily affected by the introduc on of oils, lo ons, perspira on
and chemicals. It is impera ve that you give your hot tub regular a en on to maintain clean, safe and
balanced water to prevent premature damage and/or failure (corrosion/calcifica on) to the support
equipment. Maintaining proper hot tub water balance and sani zer levels is extremely important. Neglected
hot water will allow bacteria to quickly spread.
·
The mineral content of hot tub water increases due to water evapora on, sani zers and other chemicals. If
the mineral concentra on, par cularly calcium, becomes too high, the minerals will literally "drop" or
precipitate out of the water and deposit on the hot tub walls, plumbing, jets, in the filter and on the heater
element.
·
It is very important that pH be checked frequently and maintained in the recommended range as indicated in
the chart WATER BALANCE SUMMARY FOR YOUR HOT TUB
·
It is also very important that Total Alkalinity (the ability of the water to resist a change in pH) be maintained
in the recommended range as indicated in the chart WATER BALANCE SUMMARY FOR YOUR HOT TUB
·
Although there may be two iden cal hot tub models right next door to each other, the maintenance
requirements will be different, dependant on such factors as:
· bather load
· frequency of use/quan ty of bathers
·
different body chemistry
·
sun vs. shade
·
temperature
For these reasons, it is very important to develop proper hot tub water maintenance habits and follow your
Hydropool retailer's recommended water maintenance procedures.
Heater and other component failure due to improper water balance is not covered under warranty.
