NOTAbLE POINTS
• The reliability and longevity of your hot tub support
equipment are directly related to how well water
quality is maintained!
• ALWAYS observe and follow the instructions on the
chemical container.
• The small volume of water in your hot tub is easily
affected by external factors such as oils, lotions,
perspiration and chemicals. It is imperative that you give
your hot tub regular attention to maintain clean, safe
and balanced water to prevent premature damage and/or
failure (corrosion/calcification) to the electrical support
equipment. Maintaining your hot tub water balance/
chemistry, while simple, is extremely important. Neglected
hot water will allow bacteria to quickly spread.
• The mineral content of hot tub water increases from
water evaporation, sanitizers and other chemicals. If the
mineral concentration, particularly 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

• 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 on the
following page.
• Although there may be two identical 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/quantity 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
dealers recommended water maintenance procedures.
Your Hydropool dealer will advise you as to what method
they recommend.
