On-Going Spa Maintenance
Once you have initially set up your spa there will be on-going maintenance required to keep
your spa and your hot tub experience in top shape. The following sections outline alternative sanitizer choices,
on-going maintenance, guidelines and references to help you easily maintain your spa for years to come.

Spa Chemical Maintenance Program - Chlorine
What You Will Need
1 - WT1001 - Stain & Scale 1 - WB1001 - pH/Alk Up
1 - WT1003 - Natural & Clear 1 - WB1002 - pH Alk Down
4 - SP1003 - Sodium Dichlor 1 - SP1008 - Activator (Weekly Shock)
1 - TS1003 - Chlorine Test Strips
Start Up (Always make sure all pump unions are tight)
1. Set up your water maintenance
a. All water comes with certain minerals and impurities. These chemicals help get your water
clear and ready for use.
b. Fill Spa to half way mark of skimmer
i. Add 3 oz of Stain and Scale.
ii. Add 1/2 oz of Natural and Clear.
c. Wait until water is above 80 degrees
2. Balance your water ....
a. Alkalinity and pH measure the acidity of your water. Step 2 helps you balance your water to prevent
skin irritation and corrosion of spa parts.
i. Test Alkalinity/pH with the test strips provided in your starter kit
1. Alkalinity should measure between 80 - 120
2. pH should measure between 7.2 - 7.8
ii. Adjust your Alkalinity first to the proper range
1. If adjustment is needed add 1 oz of Alkalinity/pH Up or Down to spa water.
2. Check Alkalinity after 15 minutes and adjust as necessary
iii. Check your pH next to balance water fully
1. If adjustment is needed add
1
/
2
oz of Alkalinity/pH Up or Down to spa water.
2. Check pH after 15 minutes and adjust as necessary
3. Sanitize your water ....
a. Sanitization keeps your water free of harmful bacteria, viruses and other organic matter that can
cause your water to be cloudy.
i. Shock Spa with 2 tsp of Chlorine

All spas require sanitizer. Unsanitized
spa bacteria may double every 30
minutes. All ThermoSpas come with
a ThermoClear/Chlorine Starter Kit
unless specified by customer.
Wait at least 10 minutes after
the addition of Stain & Scale during
filling before adding any sanitizer.

Hot Tubs With ThermOzone
ThermOzone accomplishes water sanitization by using a powerful oxidant, Ozone. This 100% organic compound
reacts with and destroys bacteria, mold, fungus, etc. Through a proprietary process, ozone effectiveness and
air quality are maximized to provide optimal sanitation of your spa.
Components
Ozone Generator – Using Corona discharge technology, the Ozone generator delivers 250 mg of Ozone
per hour to the Mixing Vessel.
Mixing Vessel – Using Venturi action, the Mixing Vessel pulls ozone from the Generator and mixes with Spa
water fed from the circulation pump. This is where the sanitization occurs. An overflow tube feeds unused
ozone to the carbon filter but an internal valve keeps water from entering the carbon filter. Treated
water is sent back to the spa via the ozone jet.
Carbon Filter – Any excess ozone is passed through the Carbon Filter and is neutralized of its oxidation
effectiveness, releasing harmless oxygen underneath your cabinet.
Ozone Jet – A special Laser jet provides a return back to the spa for the treated water.
Operation
In spas equipped with a circulation pump, the ThermOzone system is active any time the circulation pump is
running. For non-circ spas, ThermOzone operates in tandem with main pump in low speed during filtration cycles.
Chemical Usage
A. Hot Tubs that have ThermOzone installed should maintain a 0.5 ppm Chlorine level or a 1.0 ppm Bromine Level.
B. Depending on your usage, and if your water is clear, you can continue to reduce the amount of chemicals
you are using by trying to add sanitizer on a once weekly schedule, and performing the rest of your
weekly maintenance (Stain & Scale, Natural & Clear etc...) on a Bi-Weekly basis.
C. For ThermOzone to work more efficiently, please remember to clean your filters bi-weekly. Make sure
you go no longer than one month between filter cleanings.
Note: If water becomes cloudy, please resume all chemical maintenance on a regular weekly basis. If your usage increases, you may
have to add an additional sanitizer treatment in the middle of the week.
