Helpful Tips
| Spa and Hot Tub Water Treatment & Conditioner Tips |
| Garden Hose Pre-Filter |
| Highly recommended & makes initial chemical balancing easier & future issues are greatly reduced. Greatly increases (OFL) Optimum Filter Life of your main filter(s). |
| Filter(s) |
| Deep clean every 1-2 months using the Filter-Soak following the directions on bottle. Rinse filter(s) weekly or as needed. |
| Ozonators - Highly Recommended |
| Compatible with the all natural Water Treatment & Conditioner. |
| Cup-Holders |
| Sweep these areas out as water will turn cool and may produce a slight odor. |
| Bathing Suits |
| Wash in hot water without soap and double rinse to remove dyes and any soap residue. |
| Neck Jets |
| All jets including neck jets, waterfalls, etc., should remain open slightly so that water may flow freely during filtration cycle. |
| Spa Covers |
| Spa covers and headrests should be cleaned if any odors are present. |
| *If you have drained your spa and expect to leave it drained for an extended period of time, you may want to 'shock' the water with chlorine when you refill. |
| WHY? |
| Bacteria, water mold, and algae can grow in your spa lines during shut down, and this 'shocking' should eliminate any contamination. 1/2-oz for spas up to 250 gallons / 1-oz for spas up to 500 gallons. |
