SPA WATER MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Please be careful with chemicals - damage to the

surface of the spa can occur due to the improper use of chemicals

such as trichlor or chlorine, chemical tablets, acids or spa cleaners.

Do not let undissolved chemicals lie on the surface of the spa.

Damage from chemical misuse is not covered under warranty.

Improper water chemistry balance can damage the spa surfaces

and/or equipment, and is not covered under your warranty.

Filling Spa With Water

When ﬁlling the spa, use 2 ounces of SODIUM BROMIDE to create a

bromide reserve. When using BROMINATING TABLETS in a ﬂoating dis-

penser, two to three tablets will treat up to 500 gallons of water. For a chlo-

rine system, use CHLORINATING GRANULES (1/2 oz. per 500 gallons).

Once the spa has been ﬁlled to the correct level and pumps are primed

and running add:

1) STAIN & SCALE REMOVER- This prevents staining, rust and

corrosion, caused by metals in the source water. One bottle will treat

up to 500 gallons for up to 3 months.

2) CALCIUM BOOSTER (If Needed) - Calcium booster treats the water

if low calcium hardness is a problem in your area. It will help prevent

equipment corrosion and foaming by raising the spa’s water hardness

level to an acceptable range of 120 ppm.

3) pH STABILIZER - It will properly adjust and hold the pH for up to 3

months.

Water Testing

Your River Ridge Spa Dealer is equipped to perform a thorough analysis

of your spa water. Take a one liter sample to the store and they will advise

you on the products necessary to properly balance and care for your spa.

Unbalanced spa water can quickly damage your equipment. Your spa

dealer will advise you on how to protect your investment.

Balance

Spa water must have the correct chemical balance. Unbalanced water can

irritate eyes, corrode the equipment, leave mineral deposits, and decrease

the effectiveness of the sanitizer.

Balanced water means establishing proper balance among Total Alkalinity,

pH, Calcium Hardness and Total dissolved solids.
