SPA WATER MAINTENANCE - START-UP
21
DAY ONE
1. Test and adjust total alkalinity if necessary to between 80 to 150 ppm using
the pH / alkalinity increaser or decreaser 1oz. at a time. Wait 15 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, 1/2oz. at a time. Wait 15 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 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.
