Filters : It is very important to keep your spa filters clean and functional. Improper care of your filters can result in flow switch malfunctions, low water pressure at the jets and more important unsafe water condition. See below for filter maintenance.

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.

 

 

Happy Hot Tubbing!
