Normal sanitation does not eliminate non-lterable wastes, such
as perspiration, oils, hair sprays, etc., which may build up in the
water. ese substances make the water unattractive, and can
interfere with sanitizer eectiveness. Super sanitation is achieved
by “shocking” the spa water with a non-chlorine shock (Potassium
Peroxymonosulfate), granular chlorine (Dichlor), or granular
Bromine (Bromine concentrate).
Super Sanitize the water once a week by adding one
of the following:
• Granular chlorine 2 teaspoons (10ml) of per 200 gallons
(909.2l) of water
• Granular bromine 4 teaspoons (20ml) of per 200 gallons
(909.2l) of water
• Non-chlorine Shock 5 teaspoons (25ml) of per 200 gallons
(909.2l) of water
NOTE: Super sanitation may be required more than once
per week for heavy usage. With ozone, it may not be necessary
to shock the water on a weekly basis, contact your authorized
Bullfrog Spas dealer for more information.
Total Alkalinity (TA): Total alkalinity (TA) is the
quantitative measurement of alkaline components (carbonates
and bicarbonates) present in water to act as a buer against rapid
pH changes. Proper total alkalinity levels are important to ensure
optimal chemical balance in spas. Low TA can cause pH to be
unstable. To correct low TA, add a Total Alkalinity Increaser.
High TA can cause the water to be scale forming, cloudy and
corrosive to the spa and its components, as well as other pH
related problems. If the spa water has high TA, contact your
authorized Bullfrog Spas dealer.
Calcium Hardness (CH): Calcium hardness (CH) is the
measure of dissolved calcium in the water. Low CH (soft water)
can stain the spa surface as well as cause corrosion to the spa and its
equipment. To correct low CH, add a calcium hardness Increaser.
High CH (hard water) can cause cloudy water as well as rough
scale build-up on the spa surface and equipment. If the spa water
has high CH, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spas dealer.
Stain and Scale Control: Stain and scale problems are
common in hot water environments. To help prevent and control
staining and scaling, use a stain and scale inhibitor per the
manufacturer’s instructions. Add stain and scale inhibitor 3-4
days after super sanitation.
Foam Control: Spa water that contains body oils, lotions and
soap residue combined with high water temperatures can cause
excessive foaming on the water’s surface. For a temporary x add
a foam remover as per the manufacturer’s instructions. e best
way to control foam is to super chlorinate the water; this will
destroy the soap agents that normal levels of sanitizer will not.
Add 2 tablespoons (20 ml) per 100 gallons (454.6 liters).
Cloudy Water Prevention and Control: ere are two
basic reasons that spa water becomes cloudy. First, non-lterable
liquid waste (e.g. perspiration) has contaminated the water. To
remove these substances, Super Sanitize the water. Second, non-
lterable micro-particulate waste (e.g. dust) has contaminated the
water. To remove these substances use a Water Clarier as per the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Water Chemistry Troubleshooting
Prior to each spa use, check the water. If the water appears cloudy,
o color, has signicant surface foam, or smells of excessive
chlorine/bromine, the water needs to be treated or drained. Using
the spa in these conditions could result in irritations.
For assistance in handling spa water chemistry, contact your
authorized Bullfrog Spas dealer or another service center capable
of performing a computerized water analysis.
Your Bullfrog Spas spa may be equipped with the EOS enhanced
ozone purication system. Long term maintenance of this
system requires the replacement of the O3 Filter Cartridge
approximately every 24 months. Contact your authorized Bullfrog
Spas dealer for replacement cartridges and more information.
Freeze Protection
NOTE: Your spa is equipped with a freeze protection mode.
When potentially freezing outside temperatures are detected your
control system will turn on to check the water temperature. If
heating is necessary to protect from freeze conditions your spa may
turn on and heat to a safe temperature. A notication will display
on the main control screen indicating this mode is engaged.
e EOS prmium ozone system operates automatically when
installed. Spas with EOS installed may experience a reduced need
for chemical sanitizer, allowing for the maintenance of sanitizer
levels closer to the suggested minimum recommended level of 3
PPM. Always maintain an absolute minimum of 2 PPM. e
EOS system may also potentially reduce the frequency of super
sanitization or spa shock application to a bi-weekly basis or less
depending on usage patterns.
e Bullfrog EOS requires no special maintenance during normal
usage. Long term maintenance does require the replacement
of the Carbon lter cartridge approximately every 24 months.
Contact your authorized Bullfrog Spas dealer for more
information.
Your Bullfrog Spas spa may be equipped with an optional
WellSpring High Output ozone purication system. is system
may also reduce your sanitizer usage. Contact your authorized
Bullfrog Spas dealer for information on periodic maintenance or
replacement of ozone system parts.
