Spa
Set-up, Cleaning and Maintenance Tips :
|
Cleaning
the Filter
Your Canspa Spa is
equipped with a cartridge filter located in the skimmer/filter well.
Filtering is accomplished when the 2-speed pump, on either high or low
speed, causes water to flow through the polyester mesh of the filter. As
this happens, suspended particles become trapped on the filter's
surface.
To ensure optimum
performance, it is necessary to remove and clean the filter cartridge,
usually once every couple of weeks, depending on the usage and water quality. To
accomplish this follow these steps:
1) Turn off the power to
the spa at the home's breaker panel.
2) remover the filter
lid.
3) Remove the filter
cartridges by turning the filter and lifting it out pulling it up
and away from the filter pipe.
4) Using a garden hose
with a high pressure nozzle, rinse the debris from the filter pleats.
Continue until you have rinsed all the filter pleats. Periodically, the
filter will need a more thorough cleaning to remove imbedded oils and
minerals.

Hot Tub
Chemical Instructions
A Guide
to Spa Water Chemistry
1) Drain
your spa water every 3 to 4 months, depending on use.
2) Add 1/2
cup bleach to 3 gallons of water and sponge clean your spa shell.
Rinse with fresh water and dry spa with large towels.
3) The
filter should be cleaned every month or more frequently for high
bather loads. Soak overnight in filter
cartridge cleaner and rinse well before replacing in spa.
4) Refill
spa with fresh water to the recommended level. The water line should
be approximately half way up the top skimmer.
5) You may
want to bleed air from the filter canister and pumps to ensure the
pumps will be primed. Look for tiny plastic thumb screws on your
filter and your pumps and unscrew briefly to let the air escape.
6) If you
have a timer, set your spa to filter on low speed for a minimum of 3
hours for every twelve hour period. Note:
Never use both bromine and chlorine in your tub at the same time.

Initial
Treatment to Fresh Water
1) Once the
temperature of your hot tub reaches about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (30
degrees Celsius), you can start adding chemicals. Warm water will
allow the granular chemicals to dissolve properly.
2 ) Test and
adjust the pH of the water to 7.6 - 8.2 by adding either a capful of
pH
up or pH
down (add pH up if the pH tests low and vice versa). Allow the
water to filter for 30 minutes before retesting the pH.
3) Add 1
capful of a stain and scale control product like protect
plus and 1 capful of spa water clarifier. Adding 2 ounces
of an enzyme based product like natural
clear will clarify the water and also reduce scum-lines and
odors caused by body oils and cosmetic products.
4) Test and
adjust the alkalinity of the water to 100. Add alkalinity
increaser to raise the alkalinity of the water or add spa
decrease to lower the alkalinity.

Weekly
maintenance
1) Test
water for bromine (or chlorine), pH and alkalinity.
2) Adjust
pH to 7.6 - 8.2 and alkalinity to 100.
3) Add 1
capful of stain and scale control and 1 ounce of a spa clarifier
like Natural Clear.
4) Repeat
sanitation as in the "initial treatment" (add bromine or
chlorine as needed).
5) Rinse
off the filter cartridge with fresh water. Soak the filter in
cartridge cleaner monthly, or more frequently if you have a large
bather load.
6) Squeeze
out scum bags or Bobs (not in hot tub water) and rinse with fresh
water.
