WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE START-UP

Master Spas and Down East Spas
For ECO PUR ™
Optional: Fill spa using ECO PUR
Step 1: During initial filling of the spa with fresh water, add a sequestering
agent such as Mineral Clear or Stain and Scale, etc. depending on the
brand name. Allow to circulate and filter for at least 12 hours.
Step 2: Test water for pH, total Alkalinity, and Calcium hardness.
The pH should be 7.2 - 7.8 and the total Alkalinity 80-150 PPM.
Calcium hardness levels should be maintained between
150 and 250 PPM (part per million).
Step 3: Adjust pH, total Alkalinity (TA) and Calcium hardness utilizing the
directions on the chemical bottles provided by your dealers start up kit.
Step 4: It may be necessary to retest and add additional chemicals
to get to the proper levels in Step 3.
Step 5: Add 2 oz. of concentrated chlorinating granules
(sodium Dichlor-s-triazinetreone) per 500 gallons on initial start up
to begin sanitizing the spa water. It is important not to add the
chlorinating granules until the pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness
have been adjusted to their proper levels.
SPECIAL NOTE:
We recommend a level of 1.0 ppm chlorine residual be maintained.
* It may be necessary to rinse your filters within the first few days after filling
your spa to ensure that they are not restricting water flow due to the intitial
removal of heavy contaminents in source water.
