Some Helpful Tips

1. More is NOT BETTER – DO NOT OVERDOSE.
2. Accurately calculate the CORRECT VOLUME of your spa or hot tub spa to ensure that you are not overdosing or underdosing with any of the chemicals in the AQUASPA™ RANGE. It is particularly important with regard to AQUASPA™ SPA SANITISER to add the correct dose each week.
3. When adding chemicals, run filtration pump ONLY.
4. Always remove the cover when adding chemicals and LEAVE UNCOVERED FOR AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR to allow spa to breathe.
5. When adjusting pH, it is better to use HALF RECOMMENDED DOSE at a time, rechecking after 1 hour
   • pH should be between 7.4-7.6.
   • Alkalinity should be between 125 -150ppm.
   • Calcium Hardness should be between 200-275ppm.
   • Use AQUASPA™ ALKALINITY ENHANCER or AQUASPA™ pH REDUCER to adjust pH and Alkalinity levels.
   • Use AQUASPA™ CALCIUM ENHANCER to increase Calcium if necessary.
6. Use AQUASPA™ INSTANT FILTER KLENZ to clean filter cartridges once per week OR after high usage.
7. We recommend using AQUASPA™ PIPE KLENZ at least once every 3 months and it must be used prior to draining your Spa.
   • Spas should be drained EVERY 3-6 MONTHS and more often with high usage.
8. Alcohol consumption will significantly increase the amount of bodily fluids & fats released into the spa.
   • These body fats will be trapped in the filter cartridge until it becomes clogged.
   • The water will then start to cloud.
   • We recommend that, for optimum water clarity to be restored, filter cartridges should be cleaned immediately.
