WATER QUALITY MAINTENANCE 

Maintaining  the  quality  of  the  water  within  the  specified  limits  will 
serve  to  enhance  your  enjoyment  and  prolong  the  life  of  the 
Cascade  Spa’s  equipment.  It  is  a  fairly  simple  task,  but  it  requires 
regular attention because the water chemistry involved is a balance 
of  several  factors.  There  is  no  simple  formula,  and  there  is  no 
avoiding it. An indifferent approach to water maintenance will result 
in  poor  and    potentially  harmful  conditions  for  soaking  and  even 
damage to your Cascade Spa investment. The most important thing 
to  keep  in  mind  is  that 

preventing 

poor  water  chemistry  is  much 

easier  than 

correcting

  poor  water  chemistry.  For  specific  guidance 

on  maintaining  water  quality,  consult  your  Authorized  Dealer  who 
can  recommend  appropriate  chemical  products  for  sanitizing  and 
maintaining your Cascade Spa. 

MAINTAIN HEALTHY SPA WATER 
Important! 

When  maintaining  your  Cascade  Spa’s  water 

chemistry, ensure that your cover is removed during any aggressive 
treatments to allow for dissipation into the air.  Take care to remove 
the cover slowly and let chemicals deplete if you are uncertain if your 
water  is  properly  balanced. 

Always  maintain  your  Cascade  Spa

s

 

water chemistry within the following parameters:

pH: 

pH is a measure of relative acidity or alkalinity of water and is 

measured  on  a  scale  of  0  to  14.  The  midpoint  of  7  is  said  to  be 
neutral,  above  which  is  alkaline  and  below  which  is  acidic.  In 
Cascade Spa water, it is very important to maintain a slightly alkaline 
condition of 7.2 to 7.8. Problems become proportionately severe the 
further  outside  of  this  range  the  water  gets.  A  low  pH  will  be 
corrosive  to  metals  in  the  Cascade  Spa  equipment.  A  high  pH  will 
cause  minerals  to  deposit  on  the  interior  surface  (scaling)

cloudy water, and a prematurely dirty filter

.  In addition, the ability of 

the  sanitation  agents  to  keep  the  Cascade  Spa  clean  is  severely 
affected  as  the  pH  moves  beyond  the  ideal  range.  That  is  why 
almost  all  Cascade  Spa  water  test  kits  contain  a measure for 
pH as well as sanitizer.

 DO NOT use strong acids like Hydrochloric 

acids or Muriatic acid to balance the pH as it could severely damage 
the spa shell.

Sanitizer  (Chlorine  or  Bromine): 

To  destroy  bacteria  and  organic 

compounds  in  the  Cascade  Spa  water  by  breaking  them  down  into 
non-harmful  levels  which  get  filtered  out.  A  sanitizer  must  be  used 
regularly, either chlorine or bromine. Sanitizing your spa water is the 
most important spa maintenance you can do for yourself. 

Total Alkalinity (TA) 

is the measure of the dissolved alkaline agents 

such  as  carbonates  and  bicarbonates.  These  alkaline  agents  help 
prevent rapid changes in pH by acting as a pH buffer.

Controlling alkalinity can help keep your pH in the appropriate 
range thereby lessening the need for pH balancing. If the TA 
is too low the pH level will fluctuate rapidly from high to low. If 
the TA is too high the pH will tend to be too high and will be 
very difficult to bring back down. 

Calcium  Hardness: 

This  is  a  measurement  of  dissolved 

calcium  in  the  water.  Calcium  will  help  control  the  corrosive 
nature of the spa’s water. Low calcium hardness causes spa 
and  equipment  corrosion  whereas  high  calcium  hardness 
results in cloudy water and scale build-up on the spa and the 
equipments.

WARNING:

 Never store chemicals inside the equipment area 

of your spa.

IMPORTANT:

  DO  NOT  use  Hydrogen  Peroxide  based 

sanitizers in your spa. When using Chlorine or Bromine tablets 
you must use a floating dispenser. These chemicals can have 
an extremely corrosive effect on certain materials in the spa. 
Damage caused by use of these chemicals, or improper use 
of any chemicals, is not covered under the spa’s warranty.

OTHER  ADDITIVES:

  Many  other  additives  are  available  for 

your  spa.  Some  are  necessary  to  compensate  for  out-of-
balance  water,  some  aid  in  cosmetic  water  treatment  and 
others  simply  alter  the  feel  or  smell  of  the  water.  Your 
Authorized  Dealer  can  advise  you  on  the  use  of  these 
additives. 

Look for these specialized cleaning attachments 
at your local dealership.

 

WATER DIVERTER MAINTENANCE 

CAUTION:

  Turn  off  the  spa  from  main  GFCI  breaker  to 

carry out any maintenance procedures. 

Steps to clean water diverters:

1.

Pull  the  diverter  cap  off  and  rotate  the  diverter  body
counter  clock  wise  and  pull  out  the  assembly  (Picture
1a to 1c).

2.

Using  clean  piece  of  cloth,  remove  the  dust  particles  or
depositions (Picture 2).
