2. BALANCING THE WATER<\/b><\/h3>\n

Test your spa water to adjust total alkalinity and calcium hardness and make sure they are in the ideal range.\u00a0Check that pH and chlorine (or bromine) levels are in the appropriate range and be sure to maintain the balance at all times. Chlorine (or bromine) should be added daily or as needed. pH levels should be checked or adjusted weekly.<\/p>\n

\u00a01. ADJUSTING CHLORINE AND pH LEVELS<\/h3>\n

With the test interpretation tools online, there is no need to leave the house to analyze the water in your spa. All you have to do is enter your water test results online and you\u2019ll get instant advice on the amount of product you should use to balance your water.<\/p>\n

With a bit of effort and perseverance, you\u2019ll be able to keep your water balanced at all times.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span>3. SHOCKING THE WATER<\/b><\/h3>\n

Shock your spa water weekly without using chlorine. Shocking your water helps clarify and oxidize the water while eliminating the smell of chlorine. You can use the spa right after the treatment.<\/p>\n

4.<\/b> USING A CLARIFIER<\/b><\/h3>\n

Use a clarifier weekly to eliminate particulates and restore clarity to your spa water.<\/p>\n

5. USING A<\/b> DESCALING AGENT<\/b><\/h3>\n

Adding a descaling agent to your water prevents scale build-up and protects the spa\u2019s plumbing and heating unit against corrosion.<\/p>\n

6.<\/b> CLEANING THE PLUMBING<\/b><\/h3>\n

Before you drain your spa, remember to use a plumbing cleaner to get rid of grease and other build-up. We strongly recommend using a special product to clean the inside of your spa\u2019s plumbing. Dirty pipes give off a bad smell and harbour excessive amounts of bacteria. What\u2019s more, all that build-up makes cleaning products less effective.<\/p>\n

7.<\/b> CLEANING THE SPA FILTERS<\/b><\/h3>\n

Always filter your spa water to make sure it is really clean. Install the spa filters as soon as you have installed your spa. Filtration is the first step in the spa water treatment process. To clean your filters, take out the cartridges and use a cartridge filter cleaner to remove grease and body oils from the filters. Be sure to clean your cartridge filters once a month.<\/p>\n

8.<\/b> DRAINING YOUR SPA<\/b><\/h3>\n

Drain your spa every three months to clean the tub and the pipes. This is also a good time to clean the filters or replace them if needed. When you\u2019re done, simply refill the spa and treat the water as usual.<\/p>\n

Draining your spa for winter
\n<\/b>If you have an outdoor spa and don\u2019t plan to use it during the cold season, be sure to drain it just before winter. To do so, empty the tub completely and cover it with a spa cover. Unplug all equipment and turn off the power.<\/p>\n

Remember to drain (purge) the pipes as well to make sure they don\u2019t freeze in winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
