Water Clarity

This section is intended for new spa owners with no experience with water chemistry. Everyone’s experience 

with maintaining water quality is different, but there are some general concepts you need to know.

Water maintenance is not difficult, although it requires regular attention. The most important thing to understand 

about  taking  care  of  your  spa  water  is  that  preventive  action  is  much  easier  than  correcting  water  quality 

issues.

Your Key

To Clear

Wa

Regularity

Clear  water  requires  regular 

maintenance. 

Establish 

routine  based  on  a  regular 

schedule  for  your  spa  water 

maintenance.

Maintaining  your  water  quality  helps  the 

enjoyment  of  your  spa  and  extends  your  spa’s 

life  by  preventing  damage  from  neglect  and 

chemical abuse.

See page 26 for the schedule of recommended 

maintenance.

Sanitation

Sanitizers  kill  bacteria  and  viruses  and  keep 

the water clean. A low sanitizer level will allow 

microbes  to  grow  quickly  in  the  spa  water.  We 

recommend using either chlorine or bromine as 

your sanitizer.

Spa  owners  with  an  ozonator  also  need  to 

add  sanitizer,  although  their  requirements  are 

different.

See page 23 for learn how to 

use sanitizer.

Filtration

Cleaning your filter regularly is 

the easiest and most effective 

single  thing  you  can  do  to 

keep your water clear.

A  clogged  or  dirty  filter  will 

cause the heater and pump to work harder than 

they need to, possibly causing them to fail.

The spa’s heating system will only function with 

the  proper  amount  of  water  flow  through  the 

system.

See page 25 for filter cleaning instructions.

Chemical Balance

You  will  need  to  test  and  adjust  the  chemical 

balance of your spa water. Although this is not 

difficult, it needs to be done regularly.

Depending  on  your  choice  of  sanitizer,  you 

need to test the level of calcium hardness, total 

alkalinity, and pH. Spa owners with a Cal Clarity 

II  bromine  generator  also  need  to  check  total 

dissolved solids and phosphates.

See page 22 for learn how to 

balance your spa water.
