WATER CARE

There are three things necessary for clean safe water:

1. CIRCULATE: Water has to be circulated

regularly; it can not be stagnant.

2. FILTER: Water has to be filtered to remove

particulate and debris.

3. SANITIZE: Water has to be sanitized to kill

organisms like algae, bacteria and virus.

The control system in your spa will automatically

circulate and filter. (See SPA CONTROL

OPERATION, ConstantClean™ and SmartClean™

sections.) The sanitation requires minimal effort if

done consistently and properly.

To sanitize spa water, three things are required:

1. BALANCE: The water must be balanced so

the sanitizer can work and spa equipment is

protected.

2. SHOCK: Shock to oxidize organics and

maximize sanitizer efficiency.

3. SANITIZE: Maintain a proper level of sanitizer at

all times.

UNDERSTANDING WATER BALANCE

Water balance is the interrelation of factors that

determine the quality of the spa water. The effec-

tiveness of chemicals and other additives are

dependent on all these factors working together or

“in balance”. The primary elements to water

balance are the calcium hardness, total alkalinity

and pH.

It’s important to understand a spa is not just a “small

swimming pool” and the care of a spa should be

handled differently. Spa water is kept at a tempera-

ture of up to 104°F (40°C) but pool chemicals are

designed for cool water. Plus the ratio of people per

gallon in a spa is much higher than in a pool – four

people in a spa is the equivalent of having 200

people in a typical backyard pool. This increased

“bather load” increases the residue from soaps,

perfumes, body oils, cosmetics, and other contami-

nants. Always use water treatment products recom-

mended for use in your spa.

pH Balance

Keeping the pH balanced is the most critical

component of water balance. Calcium hardness
