Your Swim Spas Water Chemistry…
15. Adjust the Water Chemistry
By now you should have brought a water sample into your local retailer and
they have given you instructions on how to adjust your water chemistry. See
your owner’s manual or follow your authorized Hydropool dealer’s instructions,
to test and adjust the water chemistry.
Caution — Untreated water can be hazardous to your health and can cause
damage to your swim spa equipment.
Before filling or using this swim spa ensure you have followed the Hydropool
installation guide.
Congratulations — within a few hours you will be enjoying the relaxing
therapeutic benefits of your new Hydropool Self-Clean Swim Spa. Enjoy!
- Poor water maintenance will cause: rust, cushions and cover to deteriorate, leaks, faulty heater elements, pump seal failures and jets to stop working.
- Head cushions should be placed out of the tub when not used.
16. Importance of Keeping Your Swim Spa Water Balanced and Sanitized.
Please remember: the temperature of the spa water is most often set at 99°F
/ 37°C which means that there’s huge opportunity for bacteria growth in a swim
spa. It can also cause cloudy water, generate excess foaming and damage the
spa surface as well as the equipment (pump seal, covers, cushions, create
rust).
MAINTAIN CLEAN WATER — HOW TO PROCEED:
-
Filtration: Your filtration cycle is pre-set at the factory to run every 6 hours that’s four times in a 24 hour period (per day).
Remember to clean your filter weekly. -
pH: If your pH is unbalanced you will have a low disinfection efficiency and also risk to damaging the equipment. The ideal pH range for spas is 7.2 to 7.6. To keep between these parameters, you will need to use a test kit.
-
Sanitizers
Sanitizers are used to effectively disinfect and keep water smelling fresh. The two most popular ones are chlorine and bromine. You can test these by using a test kit, follow the procedures written on the bottles to place the proper dosage in the pool. Proper reading for Chlorine is 1.5 – 3.0 PPM and 3.0 – 5.0 PPM for Bromine. We suggest a shock sanitization on the first fill or water change. This operation can be repeated up to once a month or more regularly with a Shock chemical.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: please check the volume of your swim spa or swim
spa before you dose the chemicals products.
All the instructions regarding the amount of chemicals to place in your pool
are specified on each bottle (PH, Sanitizer, Test kits etc.). Especially at
the beginning of your chemical water care learning, we suggest you place the
chemicals in separate bucket in which you have extracted water from your swim
spa in order to prevent any chemical surcharge.
17. Next level… SANITIZERS
Chlorine
Chlorine is a very effective sanitizer; it has been used in pools and spas
for many years but is not popular because of its harshness, strong odor and is
less stable in hot water.
If this is the sanitizer that you have chosen you will find it available in
granular and tablet forms. The Chlorine levels to maintain a bacteria free tub
is 1-3 ppm.
Atest kit or test strips are required to help achieve this balance. This
choice is the most popular and convenient because it is very aggressive and
works very quickly.
Bromine
Bromine is very effective and does not have a “strong odor” that chlorine
typically has. It is available in granular and tablet form.
To maintain a bacteria free tub the correct levels for bromine is 3.0- 5.0
PPM.
Bromine is a slower reacting sanitizer which means closer monitoring of the
levels is required, this is done by using a test kit or test strips.
Scale
We suggest you use a Scale Inhibitor regularly to ensure no damage or scaling
of equipment and tub surface.
Total Alkalinity (TA)
If the water does not have enough Alkalinity, the water will draw from other
minerals. This will result in equipment corrosion. Use TAt to increase
Alkanlinity level (pH down will reduce it) — Check Alaklinity level once a
week. Total alkalinity readings should stay inside the acceptable range. Be
careful, pH lowering chemicals will lower the total alkalinity as well. Again,
to help achieve these readings you will need a test kit or test strips.
Please Note: Consult your local retailer for best practices on water
chemistry.
Also when adding chemicals your swim spa cover should be off and the swim spa
jets running.
NEVER LEAN OR STAND ON YOUR HARDCOVER.
NOTE: ALWAYS ENSURE THE SAFETY HARDCOVER IS IN PLACE AND LOCKED WHENEVER
THE SWIM SPA IS NOT BEING USED.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OR CRACKING OF THE ACRYLIC SURFACE NOT
COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
For instructions on draining your swin spa please refer to your Self-Cleaning
Swim Spa Owner’s Manual.
IMPORTANT SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Your physiological response to hot water is subjective and depends on your
age, health, and medical history.
If you don’t know your tolerance to hot water, or if you get a headache, or
become dizzy or nauseous when using your swim spa, get out and cool off
immediately.
