WATER bALANCE PRObLEM SOLvING
CLOUDY WATER
Cloudy water could be caused by:
• high total dissolved solids (TDS) thereby requiring full or
partial water drainage
• by a low disinfectant level
• incorrect pH requiring balancing
• suspended particles necessitating a filter cleaning
• insufficient filtration time
bLUE WATER
Blue water could be caused by too much metal or
mineral content in the water, especially copper or iron.
Low alkalinity or improper pH level may be the cause.
First, balance the alkalinity, secondly the pH, then add a
sequestering agent
FOAMING
Foaming is caused by the agitation of total dissolved solids
(TDS). This can be caused by the buildup of too much chemical
by-products in the spa water, people not showering before
using the hot tub, body lotions, etc. To correct, add a small
amount of foam eliminator and turn on jets to circulate
the water. At best, this is a temporary remedy, as excessive
foam is merely a symptom of improper water balance. In extreme
cases, the water will require draining and the filter will require
cleaning.
SKIN IRRITATION
Most skin irritation is caused by too high or too low pH.
Test and adjust. Where irritation continues, consult your
physician.

POWER FLUCTUATIONS/FAILURES
The power supply into your home is, for the most part, fairly
consistent. However, when local power demand is high,
there is a tendency for the voltage entering your home to
drop (sometimes significantly) or fluctuate. This condition is
referred to as a 'brown-out' . Although safeguards have been
built into the system to protect against this condition, supply
voltage may drop low enough, if even for a second, to cause
the system to display a 'ghost' message. Should any of the
preceding messages occur for no obvious reason, or if the
system displays partial messages, try resetting the system by
turning power to the hot tub off, waiting a few minutes,
then turning power on again. If this does not reset the
system, contact your local dealer or service organization.
COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS
If your control system will not reset, or if your pump will
not circulate for any other reason, place a low wattage
space heater or hair dryer under the cabinet in the
equipment area. This will delay the risk of freezing until a
service appointment can be arranged.
