SPA MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW

Your spa is a great investment in your health & lifestyle. This section is designed to give you a better understanding of the key areas that affect your spa, water quality and sanitiser effectiveness.

WATER BALANCE

Water balance refers to the pH & Total Alkalinity level of the spa water. These act together and have an effect on water quality, equipment and your sanitiser. They should be checked and maintained in accordance with the spa manufacturer’s instructions. Generally, water is regarded as either balanced, corrosive or scaling.

Balanced water refers to water whereby the correct pH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness levels are achieved. Corrosive water usually refers to water with a low pH that is acidic. This will shorten the life of equipment in your spa and may also make water uncomfortable for bathers either in aggressive fuming or skin irritation.

Scaling water refers to water where the pH is generally too high and can lead to cloudy water and calcium deposits forming in pipes and around equipment.

SANITISER

The primary purpose of a sanitiser is to kill potentially harmful bacteria in your spa. Heated water provides a fertile environment for bacteria to thrive in, and your sanitiser is your defense against infections. Always dose accordingly and never use your spa without an effective sanitiser.

FILTRATION

There is no magic stand-alone product that
can provide crystal clear water. Like all sanitisers, the SPA CLEAR ULTRATM chlorine system must be used in conjunction with quality microban filters. Your filters remove oxidised organic debris and suspended matter from the spa, providing clear, sparkling water. Your filtration system should be run in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure optimum clarity, however it may need to be increased in high use periods. A cartridge will only hold a certain amount of debris, before
flow rates and filter effectiveness will diminish. Clean your cartridges regularly & replace annually. We recommend a 2nd set of filters
to rotate weekly.
