ALWAYS FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
ON THE LABEL OF THE CHEMICAL
CONTAINER TO DETERMINE THE
CORRECT RATIOS
INITIAL FILL
1 Make sure the hot tub water is circulating.
2 Add a sequesterant (stain and scale controller). Allow
water to circulate for an hour before adding anything
else to the hot tub water.
3 Add a Shock / oxidizing agent .
4
Add sanitizing tablets (Bromine or Chlorine) to the dispenser:
• Built in dispenser: if your Hydropool
hot tub was ordered with the
optional built in bromine/chlorine
dispenser, (located in the lid of the
cartridge filter housing), refer to
section CARTRIDGE FILTER for details on
removing and re-installing the lid. Once
the filter lid is removed, you’ll notice
a clear 1” diameter tube extending
from the bottom of the lid. Unscrew
the check valve assembly at the end of
the tube and add 5 or 6 tablets. Do not
overfill dispenser as performance will
be affected. Set the dial initially to ‘5’,
and allow water to circulate for 3 to 4
hours before testing level. Adjust dial
more or less as necessary.
• Floating dispenser: As above, add 6 or 7
tablets, adjust initially to ‘5’, allow water
to circulate for 3 to 4 hours, then test.
The tablets will dissolve slowly over a 10-14 day period,
depending on dial setting, and use of the hot tub.
5 Test pH and Total Alkalinity and adjust accordingly.
DAILY
1 Test water, and if necessary, add shock.
2 Ensure proper water level is maintained.
WEEKLY
1 Test pH and Alkalinity. Adjust accordingly.
2 Top-up chemical dispenser.
3 Add sequesterant (stain and scale controller).
4 Remove and spray cartridge filter with garden hose and
re-install (see section CARTRIDGE FILTER, p. 46).
5 Remove and clean out skimmer basket (see section
CLEANING THE SKIMMER BASKET).
6 Add Shock / oxidizing agent.
MONTHLY
1 Soak your filter cartridge in a filter cartridge cleaning
solution. Rinse thoroughly and, if possible, allow to dry
before re-installing. Hydropool recommends purchasing
a second filter so that they can be rotated at this time.
QUARTERLY
1 Drain hot tub at least once per quarter and clean the
acrylic shell surface with a non-abrasive cleaner designed
specifically for acrylic surfaces see sections CHANGING
THE HOT TUB WATER and DRAINING YOUR HOT TUB.
CHEMICAL SAFETY HINTS
• Never pre-mix chemicals with each other prior to adding
to hot tub water.
• Add only one chemical to the water at a time.
• Always add chemicals to water and not vice-versa.
• Chemicals may be corrosive, so handle with care and
store in a cool dark place.
• Never smoke near chemicals as most are flammable
• Ensure any spilled chemicals are carefully cleaned up
immediately.
• Always have the POISON CONTROL telephone number
handy in the event of an emergency.
• Keep chemicals out of children‘s reach
•
Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling chemicals.
CLEANING THE SKIMMER BASKET
1 Activate the STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode
2 Remove the skimmer basket by pulling the weir door
forward, and pulling the basket up and towards the
front.
3 Remove debris from basket. (Note: Avoid hitting the
basket against objects to knock debris loose as this may
damage the unit).
4 Reinsert basket.
5 Take the system out of STANDBY/DRAIN ASSIST mode, and
as the pump begins to operate, monitor water flow over
the weir door to assure that it is free floating.
