Before You Fill Your Spa
What You Need to Know
Before filling your spa, we recommend bringing a sample of your
tap water to a professional spa retailer for testing to determine what
type of water you have in your area. (Do not use the water from a
water softener.) Do you have soft water? The lack of minerals in soft
water can be very harsh to your spa’s equipment, causing damage to
your pump and heater. Do you have hard water? The excessive min-
erals in hard water can cause scale build-up on spa surfaces and may
corrode the equipment.
For these reasons, it is essential to recognize your water type so the
correct chemical adjustments are made. In “Step B - Balanc i ng Your
Spa Water”, you will be introduced to the Spa Choice
®
products
specifically designed to correct your particular water type. These
products are included with your Spa Choice
®
Spa Kit.
Go onto “Step A…Filling Your Spa”.
