- METAL GON: Pour in the whole bottle each time you fill up
your spa with new water. Drain and fill about every 3 - 6 months. (Keeps metal parts in spa
from rusting and deteriorating.)
- BROMINE FLOATER: The floater needs to be filled up with
tablets and set to the guessed bather load (number of slots opened on floater). We
recommend starting with all slots open. Then throw the floater into the spa and allow it
to float around continuously. Helps maintain the bromine level. After bromine level is
achieved, close floater till six slots are open (usually takes two to three days to reach
desired level).
- BROMINE TABLETS: are used to keep the spa clean and free of
contaminates. Keep the blue floater full of tablets and in your spa.
- DEFENDER: is a hard water inhibitor and keeps the calcium
etc…from building up on the walls of the plumbing and spa. Add 2oz. at fill up and
1oz. per week there after.
- SPA UP & DOWN: keep the water pH balanced. pH should be
around 7.5. Spa Down lowers the pH and Spa Up raises the pH. Test strips will give current
pH & Bromine levels.
- TEST STRIPS: Take one strip and dip it about one foot deep in
the spa water then make three circles with it still in the water. Pull it out and compare
the colors on the test strip with the color chart on the bottle. Make necessary
adjustments to your bromine and pH with the chemicals as needed. If pH is high, use Spa
Down. If pH is low, use Spa Up. If it needs bromine, open the floater a little more. If it
has too much bromine, close the floater a little.
- WATER CLARITY: If you can’t see the bottom of your spa,
first make sure that your filters are clean. (If dirty, spray off with hose). Second,
increase your filter cycle to maximum (see owners manual). If after two or three days it
still isn’t clear, you can use a water clarifier, I.E> Bright & Clear, Sea
Klear, Scum Gon, etc. Follow the direction on the bottle.
- SHOCK: Once a week, put in one capful of shock (RENEW) for
optimum spa and chemical performance. (After heavy use, put in an additional capful). Run
spa with cover off for one hour.
