Spa Maintenance Tips
Spa Start-up and Refilling:
Note: Please make
sure the power is off before draining your spa.
Freshwater
Ag+ Cartridge: Inside filter compartment, unscrew
gray filter cap and insert new Freshwater Ag+ Cartridge
into opening on filter standpipe. Screw the cap back
onto the pipe.
Spa Metal Gone: While
filling your spa add 1 entire bottle of Spa metal
gone to remove any metals that might be in the water.
Check Alkalinity: Follow
instructions on test strips. Alkalinity reading should
be in the 120-180 ppm range. If OK, proceed to next
step. If low, adjust alkalinity to around 150 ppm
using Spa Alkalinity Increaser per label instructions.
1 tablespoon will raise alkalinity approximately 10
ppm, come back in 10 minutes, recheck and readjust
until it is in balance.
Check pH: pH should
be around 7.6. Adjust if necessary up or down to a
reading right around 7.6 by adding either pH Increaser
or pH Decreaser. Never add more than 2 tablespoons
per 250 gallons of water at a time, come back in 10
minutes, recheck and readjust until it is in balance.
then move to the next step.
Chlorine
Shock: Once a week, even if the spa was not
used, shock with Chlorine. Use approximately 1 tablespoon
per 150 gallons of water, but more importantly you
need to reach a proper shock level 10 minutes after
adding, which is indicated by a chlorine reading on
your test strips of 5 ppm or higher. This will go
away overnight. Ideally shocking is best done in the
evening before you go to bed, when nobody or no chemicals
go in for about 8 hours. Heavy use: (i.e.: more than
4 times a week usage, twice a day, children, parties,
etc.) may sometimes require a extra couple of tablespoons
and or twice a week shocking.
Check pH: At least
24 hours after shock, check and adjust pH (if needed).
The reading should be around 7.6. Never add more than
2 tablespoons per 250 gallons at a time. If necessary,
come back in 10 minutes and recheck and readjust until
you reach the correct reading.
Clean Filters: first
turn power off to the spa, the carefully remove filters
and briefly hose off with a high pressure hose attachment.
Next spray filter cartridge with Spa Instant Cartridge
Clean and let stand for about 10 minutes. Then thoroughly
hose off. When finished, replace filters and turn
power back on.
Check Alkalinity: If
necessary, adjust. Follow instructions on test strips.
Alkalinity reading should be in the 120-180 ppm range.
If OK, proceed to next step. If low, adjust alkalinity
to around 150 ppm using Spa Alkalinity Increaser per
label instructions. 1 tablespoon will raise alkalinity
approximately 10 ppm, come back in 10 minutes, recheck
and readjust until it is in balance.
Check Ozone: Smell
for ozone when you open the cover. Tiny bubbles should
always be coming out of the bottom drain. If you have
the Delzone ultraviolet unit, there should be a faint
blue light coming from under the equipment door at
night. If you have the Freshwater II corona discharge
unit there should be a slight buzzing sound coming
from the ozone unit while the equipment door is open
and spa is in normal circulating/heating mode.
Condition Cover: Clean
cover with mild soapy water, rinse and dry, then apply
Protect 303 to protect cover from cracking and peeling.
Replace Freshwater
Ag+ Cartridge with a new
one. Follow procedure under Start-up and Refilling.

children parties etc.) or are having problems maintaining
clear water - turn power off then drain, clean and
refill. then follow the steps for Start-Up and Refilling.
