InialStart‐Up
1. Never use more than 50% soened water when filling the swim spa. It is suggested to use an in‐line filter on the hose when
filling to prevent many minerals from entering the water making balancing and adjusng the water easier.
2. Add a sequestering agent to treat suspended minerals in the water during this inial fill. Allow water to circulate and filter for
at least half an hour before adding addional chemicals.
3. Test water for pH, total alkalinity and calcium hardness. Acceptable levels for pH are 7.4‐7.6, for total alkalinity 100‐120 ppm
and calcium hardness between 150‐250 ppm.
4. Adjust pH and total alkalinity per the instrucons on the chemical bole. Allow the chemicals to circulate and wait at least 24
hours to retest.
5. Adjust and retest as necessary.
6. Add concentrated chlorinang granules (sodium dichlor) unl a level of 5‐8 ppm is reached to effecvely treat inial fill water.
Add this chlorine by broadcasng over the water surface while the pumps are operang. Do not use the swim spa unl that level
drops to below 5 ppm. DO NOT add the chlorine granules unl aer the pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness levels are
appropriately met.
