H.) Proper Procedures of Maintaining a Healthy Healthy Spa/Hot Tub   

(continued)

Household bleach

 - Add two (2) ounces of regular household bleach per 300 gallons once a week.  You may 

also use liquid chlorine – but only ½ the amount. This small amount will dissolve rapidly and you will have 
chlorine-free water in a few minutes.

Add ozone to your system

 - By adding the 

Ozone MAX

 model 

OZ-SPA

 to this system you will have the 

complete system and be able to lower your chlorine/bromine use even more!  You may still need to use a 
little bit of another oxidizer, but very little would be required and much less frequently.

Add a Sequestering Agent for Marcite / Gunite Spa/Hot Tub

If your spa/hot tub is made of a white marcite or gunite finish, we strongly recommend you add a sequestering 

agent to prevent any type of staining in the spa/hot tub.  There are two types we recommend:

-  Pool Stain Treat

 by

 United Chemical 

(800) 524-5550  

-  The Ionizer Stuff 

by

 Jacks Magic

 (800) 348-1656

These products or ones similar are available in all spa/pool stores worldwide. If using another brand, 

ensure it does not work by removing copper from the water!

The only part of the 

MineralPURE SPA-1R

 Ionizer that will 

need maintenance or replacement is the electrodes.  They 
should last about 10 years depending on your spa/hot tub size, 
length of swimming season, water temperature and how well 
the water was balanced (ion level, pH, etc.) 

If you are unable to maintain a normal copper-ion level it may be 

time to clean or replace the electrodes. To inspect the 
electrodes, simply unscrew the electrode chamber with your 
hands and visually inspect the electrode bars. A blue greenish 
coating is 

normal

, however, if there is a heavy buildup, you 

may need to clean the electrode. Using an old toothbrush and 
lemon juice or a 50/50 muriatic acid/water solution, scrub the 
buildup off the electrode.  

If the electrodes are worn out, they need to be replaced. Contact your dealer or 

visit 

www.ElectrodeWarehouse.com

 or call 

Clearwater Enviro Tech

 for a 

replacement set. The entire chamber is replaced and a new set is screwed into 
the tee. Always use plenty of teflon tape around the threads to prevent 
leaking.
