SPA MAINTENANCE WEEKLY SCHEDULE

Monday
check spa-alkalinity, ph, and tablets (chlorine or bromine)
If spa was shocked on Sunday then it is not necessary to check the spa today.

Not necessary to use if using Eco-One Monthly.

Thursday, Friday or Saturday

please call Aqua Blue or you can bring in a water sample at this time)

Sunday
Shock spa 1-2oz/1000L (If using bromine you can shock with Part 2 or Spa Zap. In conjunction with Spa Zap we recommend that Part 2 be used after every use of the hot tub, approx. 1tsp)(if using chlorine tablets you
can shock with Lithium or Spa Zap. Again if using spa zap we recommend that lithium be used after every use of the hot tub, approx. 1tsp)**Spa zap is a prepackaged product that allows you to use the tub approx. 1 hour after the treatment.

Initial start-up for bromine or chlorine hot tubs:
1. As the tub is filling add 1oz/1000L of Stain Protect.
2. Once tub is filled add sanitizing tablets to the dispenser showing at least one tablet. (This may have to be adjusted according to personal use of tub).
3. When using Bromine add either Part 1 or spa boost (liquid bromine salts) for instant bromine reading. Shock tub approx. 2-3 hours later (if using chlorine ignore this step and continue to step 4).
4. 24 hours later double shock spa. (if using chlorine) Then carry on with your weekly maintenance.
5. Bring in a sample 3 days after shocking the spa.

Above recommendations and general guidelines and are only intended to create a basic starting point in your routine for your spas chemical management. As the use and bather load of the spa fluctuates, so should the distribution of the spas chemicals. New spa owners often go through a learning curve to build and adjust their routine according to the use and bather load of the spa. For best results and the safety of clear, balanced water, we recommend that you bring in a water sample to Aqua Blue Pools every 4-5 weeks to check and balance the levels. Regularly tested and balanced water is proven to prolong and extend the spas equipment; unbalanced water will VOID manufacturer’s warranty!! Also before draining your tub and refilling we recommend using Spa Flush or Bio-breakaway.
