SWIM SPA WATER MAINTENANCE - START-UP
Day One
1. Test and adjust total alkalinity if necessary to between 80 to 120 ppm using the pH / alkalinity
increaser or decreaser 5 oz. at a time. Wait 30 minutes, retest and adjust if necessary. The pump
should be running on high speed during this time with the air controls closed.
2. Test and adjust pH, if necessary, to within the range of 7.2 to 7.8 using the pH / alkalinity increaser
or decreaser, 2.5 oz. at a time. Wait 30 minutes, retest and adjust if necessary. The pump should
be running on high speed during this time with the air controls closed.
3. Test and adjust sanitizer level. Add chlorine following label directions to maintain a free chlorine
level of 1 to 3 ppm. If using bromine, adjust feeder to maintain a total bromine level of 3 to 5
ppm. Add bromine tablets to the dispenser if necessary, following label directions.
4. Add a water clarifier following label directions. If the swim spa is equipped with an ozone unit,
we recommend adding an enzyme product in place of the clarifier, following the label directions.
5. Use a small amount of defoamer only if necessary.
