GETTING STARTED FILLING YOUR SPA Before filling your spa, you need to know the chemical makeup of the source water, the water you’re using to fill your spa. To do this, simply take a sample of the water to your local spa retailer to have it professionally tested, or test the water using Leisure Time® Spa & Hot Tub Test Strips. If testing your spa water yourself, you can get instant answers online about what to do using the water analysis program at LeisureTimeSpa.com. 1.
Once you’ve determined the readings for pH, total alkalinity and calcium hardness using Leisure Time® Spa & Hot Tub Test Strips, you will need to adjust your water so that the levels fall within the normal ranges. Testing your spa water regularly will make you aware of any changes in water balance. If your spa water does not fall within the recommended ranges and remains unbalanced, problems such as cloudy water, scaling, equipment corrosion and skin irritation can occur.
CHLORINE SANITIZING The most commonly recognized sanitizer is chlorine. However, the effectiveness of chlorine depends heavily on the pH level of the spa water. In order to get the most effective and economical benefit of chlorine, a pH range of 7.2 to 7.8 is recommended. One form of chlorine for spa use is Leisure Time® Spa 56 Chlorinating Granules, a fast-dissolving granular that is virtually neutral in pH and therefore doesn’t upset water balance.
RESERVE & RENEW® SYSTEM FREE SYSTEM The Reserve & Renew® sanitizing system eliminates the need for a floater, a brominator or the handling of dry chlorine. Leisure Time® Reserve is a bromide salt that remains neutral in the spa water until Leisure Time® Renew® granular is added. The two products react with each other to form active bromine. With proper maintenance and the regular addition of Leisure Time® Renew® granular this system is virtually maintenance-free.
