Swim Spa
provides you with cleaner, healthier water,
reduced chemical usage, and protects your
skin from chemically induced irritation.
Sanitizing with Ozone
Swim spa products vary in size, and in the
frequency and conditions of use. For these
reasons you will need to establish your
sanitizing program based upon your own
personal use. When using ozone, you should
start by balancing your water chemistry as you
normally would. A swim spa should be filtered
a minimum of six hours per day, during which
time ozone will be mixed into the water. If
your swim spa is heavily used, this run time
should be increased.
The amount of a residual sanitizer (chlorine
or bromine) that you maintain in the
water will also vary depending on use. It is
recommended that you maintain a residual of
3.0–5.0 ppm. Periodically, and after periods of
heavy use, it is necessary to “shock” your swim
spa with large amounts of sanitizer.
NOTE: Extra filtration can be provided by
manually starting a clean-up cycle. Turn
Pump 1 on in low speed. The pump will
operate for an extended period and then
automatically turn off. The heater, ozone
generator and UV system will also operate
during this period if the controls are set in
Ready mode.
Specialty Chemicals
While ozone and UV may significantly reduce
the usage of specialty chemicals (chlorine
and bromine), they are not a substitute. All
chemicals should continue to be monitored,
especially during periods of heavy usage and
when changing/replenishing the spa water.
Draining your swim spa
NOTE: Always turn the circuit breaker off
when you drain your swim spa. Do not turn
the spa heater back on until you have full flow
coming from the jets for several minutes.
High concentrations of impurities caused by
water evaporation, body oils, perfumes, and
other contaminants may accumulate in the
swim spa and cannot be filtered out.
NOTE: Consequently, it is advisable to drain
your swim spa and refill it with fresh water
every six to eight weeks, or more often
depending on the amount of use.
All swim spa products are equipped with
multiple internal drains. These drains are used
to remove water from internal plumbing,
when Winterizing your swim spa, or if the
water is severely contaminated.
NOTE: Use a standard garden hose to direct
the water to an appropriate disposal area.
All
internal
drain hose(s) are located behind
the front access panel. Remove the access
panel screws and the access panel. Locate
the drain hose(s). For each hose drain valve,
remove the cap, attach the garden hose, and
turn the valve handles, located on the drain
valve body, 90° counter-clockwise, then pull
out on the hose to start flow. Water will begin
to flow. When all water has been evacuated,
push in and turn the valve handle clockwise
until it stops. Remove garden hose and replace
the cap. Repeat for each internal drain hose.
NOTE: Do NOT attempt to use the swim spa
pump to drain the swim spa.
