IMPORTANT: Always keep spa covered when not in use, whether it is empty or full. V. WATER QUALITY AND MAINTENANCE It’s important to have clean water. Water maintenance is one of the least understood, yet most important areas of spa ownership. Your dealer can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions. Your program will depend on your water’s mineral content, how often you use your spa, and how many people use it. Watkins recommends that you either use an entirely chlorine-based system, or an alternative system which uses silver ions (the FreshWater

®
silver ion purifier). Watkins recommends the use of Hot Spring

FreshWater

products. These are available from
authorized Hot Spring Dealers.
