Water Care Simplified
Quick Tips For Maintaining Your Hot Tub
- Turn on your jets when adding water care product, and let it run for one cycle.
- If possible, leave the cover half open after adding water care products, close when the cycle is over.
- Wait to use your hot tub at lease 30 minutes after adding Metal Gone.
- Wait to use your hot tub at lease 2 hours after adding chlorine.
Hot Tub Start-up Process
- Add one bottle of Metal Gone. This protect you heater, motors, and pump shafts.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of chlorine for every 300 gallons of water.
-
Add about 1 1/2 oz. of Unique OR about 1 tablespoon of non-chlor shock.
(We prefer Unique because it is non-chlor shock and a water clarifier all in one bottle.) - Balance the alkalinity, the report will indicate about how much to add.
- Balance the PH, the report will indicate about how much to add.
- Balance the calcium hardness*. If you have city water, you will need to add about 1 1/2 cup.
Daily Hot Tub Maintenance
Chlorine is one component that keeps you water clean, but it evaporates every 24 hours. Algae can develop within 48 hours, so it’s important to add 1-2 teaspoons of chlorine everyday.
It is also recommended to add 1 teaspoon per person when you get out of your spa for the evening.
An alternative to adding chlorine daily is a “floater” that slowly dissolves chlorine tablets.
Weekly Hot Tub Maintenance
- Balance the alkalinity based on the color on your test strip.
- Balance the PH based on the color on your test strip.
- Add about 1 1/2 oz. of Unique OR about 1 tablespoon of non-chlor shock.
- If you are using the “floater” add three chlorine tablets.
- Check the calcium hardness. It usually stays the same unless you needed to add water.
- Finally add about 1/2 cup Simply Soft (yes, still optional!)
Monthly Hot Tub Maintenance
To extend the life of your filter, rinse well in warm water to remove any debris. Do NOT use detergents, it will make your tub get foamy.
Every 3 to 5 Months
Water is like oil and it gets used up, so you will need to change the water.
After 5 or 6 months, Beachcomber and Sundance® 680 series may need a new water filter.
Replace your SunPurity™ Mineral Sanitizer cartridge. (Sundance® 780 and 880 series)
To extend the life of your Sundance® 780 and 880 series water filter, use Filter Fresh to deep clean your filter.
Annually
- Change your ClearRay® XL UV/C bulb.
- New water filter for your Sundance® 780 and 880 series spa.
- Use a system flush to clean out the pumps and plumbing.
Pro Tips
- A Hydromop will soak up oils, lotions, and hair products to help keep your water cleaner.
- To remove foam caused by detergents in your swimwear, use Spa Pure Defoamer, a few teaspoons goes a long way.
- If you ever have questions about your water, call the store or bring in a 2 cup sample so we can test it.
