Maintenance
INNER LINER
Your Softub will last many years when properly maintained. The primary
cause of failure is the improper care of water. A regular program of water
treatment is essential.
A. Recommended Water Balance
Free Available Chlorine Residual: 2 - 3 ppm
pH: 7.4 - 7.8 (ideal 7.6)
Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness: 50 - 150 ppm
Total Dissolved Solids: Below 1,500 ppm
Test your water chemistry after each use of the Softub, but no less than
twice per week.
A
void a low pH, as this will cause unsightly wrinkles to form in the liner and
could void your warranty. Always maintain the recommended water balance.
Operating outside of these parameters will cause unsightly wrinkles and or
fading of the liner and could void your warranty.
B. Chemical Additions (See Water Treatment, pg. 19 for more information)
1. Always have the water circulating when adding chemicals.Add only one
chemical at a time.
2. Floating dispensers are not recommended as they can bleach the liner
by over-concentration and lower the pH.
3. Do not use gas chlorination, ionizers, scents, salts or soaps that are not
approved for use in the Softub. Consult your dealer.
****WARNING: USING SHOCK WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.****
C. Cleanliness
Empty the Softub and refill with clean water 2-3 times per year or when it
becomes cloudy and proper water chemistry does not clear it up.
While empty, use a mild soap solution to wipe any soil or stains on the
inner liner. Rinse thoroughly before refilling the tub. Do not use cleaning
aids such as steel wool, stiff bristle brushes or abrasive cleaners.
D. Repair
If your liner does get a tear or puncture, contact your dealer.
