different name according to brand so ask your chemical retailer for assistance). Stain and scale will prevent

or reduce scaling of calcium on the water line or in the spa components while making the water softer on the

skin. Often people in hard water areas have soft water ﬁlters in their house. If you have a soft water ﬁlter,

DO NOT ﬁll the spa with soft water only. The best thing to do in this situation is to ﬁll the spa with half-hard

water from the spout outside and half soft water from inside. If half and half is not possible than hard water

is better than the alternative because stain and scale product can be added to help avoid calcium build-up,

(see Chemical Maintenance in this section of the manual for dosages).

Soft water by itself makes for severe pH and Alkalinity ﬂuctuations that can be hard on your skin and the

spa. If your area water supply is short on calcium you may have trouble balancing your water. If you ﬁnd

you have the symptoms of soft water then have a water sample tested for calcium and add “calcium hardness

increaser” as needed. Use the chart below for gallons and the chart on the chemical bottle for the dosage

needed to get to two hundred PPM of total calcium hardness. This only needs to be done when the spa is

ﬁlled with fresh water, and should stay at the level you get it set to until the spa is drained and ﬁlled again.

The last initial chemical maintenance you may require is to balance the alkalinity and pH. Your chemical

start up kit includes a set of test strips for checking chlorine, alkalinity, pH, and Cyanuric acid, (see Chemical

Maintenance in this section of the manual). After you have followed all of the preceding instructions ﬁnd a still

part of the spas water to submerse the test strip for ﬁfteen seconds, then pull it out and compare it to the color

chart on the bottle of strips immediately. As with the hardness increaser the pH and alkalinity chemicals will

have dosage charts on the bottle according to gallons so the same charts apply.

Operating Procedures

Using the gallon chart below, ﬁnd your model and use the gallon amount to

follow the directions on the bottle. Adjust as deemed necessary by the chemical

balance test strips provided. The gallon amounts listed are not exact amounts, but are accurate

and mathematically easy enough for use with your spa chemicals.
