WATER BALANCE TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
Cloudy Water Microscopic parcles too small to filter
out.
Test and adjust all water balance
elements and add flocculent* to cause
the parcles to combine together so
they can be filtered out. Increase filter
cycle me.
High Total Alkalinity
High pH levels
High Calcium Hardness
Test these water balance elements and
adjust to recommended parameters.
Scale
(White/Grayish Deposit)
High Calcium Hardness Test calcium hardness level and treat
with sequestering agent* or perform
paral drain/refill.
Skin Eye Irritaon Improper pH and/or Total Alkalinity
levels
Test water balance and make the
appropriate changes.
Excessive Foam Buildup of body oils or cosmecs If no water line is present you can try
using defoamer* to break up the
contaminants and then a clarifier* to
help filter them away. If a water line is
present the spa may need to be
drained and cleaned. Either way, the
filter should be thoroughly cleaned by
soaking overnight in bleach. An oil
absorbing sponge can help in
prevenng this in the future. Increase
filter cycle me.
