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  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  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 spa. 

MAINTAIN HEALTHY SPA WATER
Important!

 When maintaining your 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 

s

pa’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 

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 

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 

spa

 clean is severely affected as the pH moves beyond 

the  ideal  range.  That  is  why  almost  all 

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 

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).
