DO NOT DIVE.

BEFORE EACH USE

Check spa water with a test strip for proper sanitation levels and adjust accordingly to the proper
levels. Free chlorine level should be 2.0 - 4.0 ppm. Appropriate levels should be present before use
of the spa. Bathers should not enter the spa if total chlorine levels are above 5.0 ppm or if free
chlorine levels are below 2.0 ppm.

ONCE A WEEK

Add non-chlorine shock/oxidizer

or chlorine

to spa to help maintain the water quality.

3 TIMES A WEEK

Test water using chemical test strips. Adjust sanitizer, pH and Alkalinity accordingly. The total alka-
linity should be between 100 - 120 ppm and the PH should be between 7.4 - 7.6. If free chlorine
level measures less than total chlorine level, additional non-chlorine shock/oxidizer* treatment is
necessary.

ONCE A MONTH

Soak your regular filter elements overnight in a container with spa Filter Cleaner and then rinse
with clean water. For best results, allow the filter to dry before re-inserting. (The Eco Pur™ mineral
element should never be cleaned in a filter cleaner. Just rinse with water.) When cleaning filters, be
sure to never have the pumps (including the circulation pump) running without the filters in place.
Failure to do so may result in debris being drawn into the pumps causing unwarranted damage.
See the “clean your filter elements” in the maintenance section of this manual for more information.

EVERY 180 DAYS

Drain and refill your spa with fresh water, install a new Eco Pur™ filter element, clean the regular
filter, and repeat start up procedure. The regular filter should be replaced at least once every year.

AFTER EACH USE

Add non-chlorine shock/oxidizer

or chlorine

to the spa water.

WATER MAINTENANCE – SCHEDULE

*SPECIAL NOTE:

We recommend a minimum level of 2.0 ppm residual free chlorine be maintained in spa water. Always refer to
the chemical manufacturer’s dosage recommendations listed on the container.

When adding chlorine or non-chlorine shock/oxidizer always broadcast across the water while the pumps are
running.

The quantities of sanitizer and non-chlorine oxidizer shown in this manual are for 500 gallon spas and may have
to be adjusted depending on the actual amount of water that your spa holds. See the specifications section of
this manual for the correct gallons of your spa.

The concentration of active ingredients in spa chemicals varies by manufacturer. The amounts of sanitizer sug-
gested in this manual are based on spa chemicals that have the active ingredient percentages listed below:
