SPA OPERATION / WATER CHEMISTRY Spa water chemistry (or water balance) affects the safety of your equipment as well as the appearance of your spa water. Water balance has five factors: pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, temperature and total dissolved solids. pH is the most critical but total alkalinity and calcium hardness must also be watched closely. Low calcium hardness can lead to corrosion of equipment, while high calcium hardness can lead to scaling, cloudy water and staining.
SPA OPERATION / WATER CHEMISTRY continued 2. It is recommended that the spa be drained regularly depending on its size, location and the frequency of use. 3. Clean filter and cartridge periodically according to manufacturer’s instructions. 4. Keep the spa covered when not in use to reduce the loss of heat and to keep our leaves, dirt, and other foreign materials from settling in the water. 5.
FREEZE PROTECTION DO NOT ALLOW THE SPA TO FREEZE If the spa is to be stored or transported in temperatures 32°F (0°C) or lower, it is critical that the unit be fully winterized. 1. The spa itself must be completely emptied. 2. The main drain valve must be in the open position. 3. The drain safety cap must be removed and stored. 4. All screws on the wet end of the pump must be loosened three turns. 5. The filter cartridge element must be removed, dried and stored. 6.
Most Frequently Asked Questions 1. Why does my spa not shut off? The Dream Maker Spa is designed to run from the time you plug it in to run until it reaches your desired temperature. Once desired temperature is reached then you can control the on/off with the buttons on the top control. For example: On the initial startup the spa will run for approximately 18 hours to reach 100 degrees. At that point the spa will shut off, then the spa will maintain your desired temperature settings.
