Balancing the Water
When initially filling or refilling your spa follow these
steps to achieve proper water balance.
Important! Always circulate the water for at
least 15 minutes after making any chemical
additions, before retesting water, or adding
any additional products.
1. Test the spa water using a test strip (see label for
easy dip and read directions).
2. Determine the pH and alkalinity level of the water
using the color comparison chart on the bottle.
3. If changes need to be made to the pH and/or
alkalinity level to put them within the recom-
mended range, always balance the alkalinity
before balancing the pH.
The product(s) you should use to adjust pH and/or
alkalinity are Marquis pH & Alkalinity Up or pH &
Alkalinity Down. Make any chemical additions per
the directions on the bottle and then test and
repeat if necessary until all readings are in the
desired range.
4. After pH and alkalinity levels are in the recom-
mended range, you can establish a sanitizer
residual of 0.5 ppm (with an ozonator) or 1 - 2 ppm
(without an ozonator).
Water characteristics vary depending on the
local water supply. You may need to "fine tune"
the spa water due to these variances. Your
dealer may suggest the use of the following
products when filling the spa based on your
water conditions.
Metal and Stain Remover
If minerals such as calcium, iron, copper, or manga-
nese exist in your water supply, they can stain spa
surfaces. Marquis SpaCare Metal & Stain Remover
prevents spa staining. Add per label directions for the
gallons of your spa each time you freshly fill the spa
with water.
