Water Management
Our chemical water purification system is a perfect match for your hot tub.
Depending on usage, the water in your hot tub should be changed every 1-3
months. Upon each change of water it is a good practice to wipe down the hot
tub.
If your water quality seems improper, increasing the time the hot tub filters the
water (see page 19) may clear up your problem.
Below are some answers to common water chemistry questions.
pH
It is common to have pH fluctuations after adding chemicals to your
hot tub or after a party. Let your jets run and give your water time to
stabilize. 9 times out of 10, your pH will come back into the 7.2-7.8
range on its own.
MILDEW
Mildew usually grows in the folds and seams of your cover and then
on cover
drips into your hot tub water causing cloudiness and/or odor. Clean
with our special Citra Bright Spray Cleaner and then rinse the inside
of your cover with clean warm water.
Foamy
Foam typically results from soap residue on your skin and hair, or
water
laundry detergent residue on clothing. Take a soapless shower and
rinse all clothing in warm water prior to bathing.
CLEAR
Your "source water" most likely has dissolved heavy metals. When
green or
this is the case, use a respected brand of demineralizer found at
brown
any local pool/ hot tub store. Using a pre-filter can remove these
water
contaminants before they get into your hot tub (see page 20).
CLOUDY
Algae can be resolved by adding a respected brand of algaecide.

CLOUDY
Although a normal condition immediately after filling that dissipates

after time, with stabilized water this is a visual indication that the
water
total alkalinity or pH or both are at improper levels. Test your water
weekly and maintain proper water chemistry (see page 17).
ODOR
If your water develops an odor and/or cloudiness, clean your cover
and/or
and filters and try increasing the amount of time the hot tub filters

per day by turning your filtration cycle time or duration up.

HEAVY
After a period of heavy use, your hot tub may cloud. Shock your hot

tub with 2 ounces of non chlorine shock and wait 36 hours.
