MAINTENANCE
Vinyl Care - Interior
1. While the spa is empty, clean the spa interior with a mild soap solution to
remove any soil or stains on the vinyl. Rinse thoroughly before refilling the
spa. Do not use cleaning aids such as steel wool, metal brushes, or abrasive
cleansers such as Comet or Ajax.
2. Remove and clean the filter twice a month, or more often if necessary.
Vinyl Care - Exterior
Clean the exterior with a mild soap solution then rinse with clean water. Avoid
abrasive soaps or tools, or any solvents.
Recommended Water Chemistry
Purchase a water test kit from your dealer. Test the water chemistry after each
use of the spa, or no less than once a week. Avoid a low pH. Low pH will cause
wrinkles to form in the vinyl, may damage the heater, and will void your
warranty. The following are the recommended water chemistry ranges for your
spa.
pH .......................................................... 7.4 - 7.6
Total alkalinity ..................................80 - 120 ppm
Calcium hardness............................150 - 250 ppm
Bromine residual .................................... 2 - 3 ppm
Total dissolved solids ................... below 1500 ppm
NOTE:
If a bromine feeder is used that requires holes to be punched in the
feeder, start with one hole punched at the top of the feeder and one hole
punched at the bottom. Place the feeder in the spa and test the water after two
days. If the bromine level has not increased to the ideal 2-3 ppm range, punch
another hole in the bottom of the feeder and retest after another two days.
Avoid punching too many holes in the bromine feeder, as this could cause over
bromination. This could bleach the vinyl, and will void your warranty.
If the bromine level
in the spa reaches 5 ppm or higher, remove the bromine
feeder from the spa until the bromine level drops to the correct 2-3 ppm range.
