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.
