Proper care of your spa is to ensure that the water is kept clean and clear, this can be a very easy task if you stay ahead of any problems. When you first receive your spa we will provide you with your start-up chemicals and will show you how to use them.
You will also be given a thorough instruction sheet at this time. You need some type of sanitiser in the water before you get into the spa to protect you from bacteria. We use Spa Sanitiser Plus and use it as a freshwater system. This means that you need to sanitise the water after use, allowing for it to then burn off any bacteria brought into the spa.
When there is a heavy bather load, extra chlorine (Spa Sanitiser Plus) will need to be added after use. If this is not done, the bacteria will feed off these body wastes. This will result in dull cloudy water, offensive odours and possible Pseudomonas or “Spa Rash”.

Water Testing
We recommend testing your spa at least once a week to keep the pH and TA (total alkalinity) in correct balance. If the pH gets too low for as little as 24 hrs, your water becomes acidic; consequently, it begins ‘eating’ at the metal components of the equipment. If the PH/Alkalinity are not in the okay range, your chemicals will not work.
Filter Change
We recommend a change of paper cartridge filters approx. every 18 months
