Step 2:  Adjust pH – ideal range is between 7.4-7.6.  Test water, follow directions on manufacturer’s 
label, and add the required amount of spa chemicals with the jets on. 
 
Step 3:  Adjust bromine/chlorine – ideal range is between 2-3 ppm chlorine and 3-5 ppm bromine (4-6 
ppm for heavy spa usage).  Fill bromine floater or adjustable feeder and shock spa as necessary. 
 
Step 4:  Stain and scale control – add the required amount of spa chemicals with jets on weekly. 
 
NOTE:  The chemical chart above is a simple schedule for moderate spa use.  Depending on the usage, 
chemical balancing may be required more often. 
 
 

SPA CARE 

 

FILTER CLEANING 

 
Always make sure the power to the spa is off before removing and cleaning the pleated cartridge filter.  
Cartridges should be removed and hosed off weekly.  Using a high pressure hose nozzle between the 
pleats will easily remove dirt and debris.  This will be evident as you rinse.  A soaking in filter cartridge 
cleaner should be performed every 2-4 weeks depending on spa usage. 
 

CARE FOR SPA SURFACE 

 
Mountain Series Spas have a very high quality finish.  Stains and dirt will generally not adhere to the 
surface.  After draining the spa, wipe the surface with a soft damp cloth (or sponge) using household 
soap or liquid detergent.  Stubborn dirt and stains maybe removed by using Spic & Span adequately 
dissolved in water.  Be sure to rinse detergent well as this will cause suds when refilling the spa. 
 

SPA COVER 

 
CAUTION – Keep your spa cover installed at all times when not in use. 
 
Do not use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since these could damage the 
surface and void your warranty. 
 
You may wax the spa surface if you choose.  This adds a protective coating on the finish.  Use a spa 
wax only.  Follow the instructions on label of wax product.  Consult your L.A. Spas dealer. 
 

CARE OF SPA CABINET (THERMOGUARD CABINET) 

 
Your ThermoGuard cabinet requires little or no maintenance of any kind.  To clean, simply wipe cabinet 
with a clean towel and mild detergent soap solution. 
 
CAUTION – Do not use any cleaning products containing abrasives or solvents since these could 
damage the surface of the ThermoGuard spa skirt and void your warranty. 
 

CARE FOR SPA COVER 

 
The thermal cover for your spa is an extremely durable foam insulated product.  See the manufacturer’s 
literature for proper cleaning and care instructions.  When the spa is not in use, it is recommended that 
the cover tie downs always be utilized to discourage unsupervised children from entering the spa and to 
minimize heat loss.  Small locks are available for the cover tie downs.  In either case these locking 
methods are not considered adequate to keep unauthorized people from entering the spa.
