Simple Start-Up
To get your spa off to the right start follow this
simple procedure.
1. Drain and clean your Spa
As with any disinfection system you should use a product such as Spa
Flush at every water change to remove the bio-film and other
deposits from the plumbing and equipment. Flush your spa’s jets and pipework thoroughly
with Spa Flush then drain. Clean the inside of the spa shell
with Spa Flush or a Spa Surface Cleaner, rinse thoroughly and then refill with
fresh water.
2. Balance your water
The function of BaquaSpa is not affected by the total alkalinity
or the pH of your water, but with any sanitiser system you
should make sure that your water is adequately balanced to
protect your equipment and ensure that the water remains
comfortable to bathe in.
Check the water balance for pH, Total Alkalinity
and Calcium Hardness. If your fresh water is outside the
ranges shown below you should use adjusters, such as those from
the
SpaGuard range, to first
adjust the total alkalinity and then the pH.
and finally the Calcium Hardness:
Total Alkalinity – 80 – 120ppm
pH – 7.2 – 7.8
Calcium Hardness – 200 – 400ppm
3. Clean your filters
Clean your filters using BaquaSpa filter Cleaner.
4. Add BaquaSpa and Test
|
1. Add BaquaSpa
Waterline Control at the rate of 8ml per 100
litres of spa water.
2. Add BaquaSpa
Shock at the rate of 16ml
per 100 litres of spa water and
circulate for 15 minutes.
3. Add BaquaSpa
Sanitiser with Stain and Scale Control at
the rate of 5.6ml per 100 litres of spa
water and circulate for 15 minutes. Use Biguanide Test Strips to test
the BaquaSpa Sanitizer level. If the level is
between 30 and 50 ppm, your spa is ready to use. If not adjust the
Sanitiser level accordingly. |

NOTE: Chemicals can
be added to either cold or hot water.
If water temperature is cold, the addition
of BaquaSpa Waterline Control may cause a
temporary cloudy condition. Once the
temperature reaches normal spa levels
(98–104°F), the cloudiness will disappear.
BaquaSpa Sanitizer with Stain & Scale
Control will react with some impurities in
the water to form insoluble particles.
Within the small environment of a spa, these
insolubles may be deposited on the spa
shell, especially at initial start-up.
This “bathtub ring” will vary depending on
the quality of the fill water, and usually
appears as yellow/brown, sticky deposits.
Wipe affected areas clean. When used
properly, BaquaSpa Waterline Control will
eliminate deposits from forming on the spa
shell. |
