That is why almost all spa water test kits contain a measure for
pH as well as sanitizer.
Sanitizer (Chlorine or Bromine): To destroy bacteria and organic
compounds in the spa water by breaking them down into non-
harmful levels which get filtered out. A sanitizer must be used
regularly, either chlorine or bromine. Sanitizing your spa water is
the most important spa maintenance you can do for yourself.
Total Alkalinity: This refers to the ability of the spa water to resist
changes in pH. Controlling alkalinity can help keep your pH in the
appropriate range thereby lessening the need for pH balancing. If
the TA is too low the pH level will fluctuate rapidly from high to low.
If the TA is too high the pH will tend to be too high and will be very
difficult to bring back down.
Calcium Hardness: This is a measurement of dissolved calcium
in the water. Calcium will help control the corrosive nature of the
spa’s water.
WARNING: Never store chemicals inside the equipment area
of your spa.
IMPORTANT: Do not use Hydrogen Peroxide based sanitizers in
your spa. When using Chlorine or Bromine tablets you must use a
floating dispenser. These chemicals can have an extremely
corrosive effect on certain materials in the spa. Damage caused
using these chemicals, or improper use of any chemicals, is not
covered under the spa’s warranty.
OTHER ADDITIVES: Many other additives are available for your
spa. Some are necessary to compensate for out-of-balance water,
some aid in cosmetic water treatment and others simply alter
the feel or smell of the water. Your Authorized Dealer can advise
you on the use of these additives.
Look for these specialized cleaning attachments at your
local dealership.
WATER DIVERTER MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Turn off the spa from main GFCI breaker to
carry out any maintenance procedures.
Steps to clean water diverters:
1. Pull the diverter cap off and rotate the diverter body
counterclockwise and pull out the assembly (Picture 1a
to 1c).
2. Using clean piece of cloth, remove the dust particles or
depositions (Picture 2).
3. Assemble the diverter body by inserting the body back by
rotating the jet body clockwise (Picture 3a and 3b).
Attach the diverter cap.
