Spa Pool Start Up – Chlorine

  1. Allow water to circulate for approximately 1 hour then add 250 - 400g of Calcium Hardener.
  2. With filter running, wait for 20 minutes.
  3. Add 250-400g of PH Buffer with filter running, wait for 20 minutes.
  4. Test pH and adjust as necessary using either pH Increase to raise or pH Decrease to lower the level (using dessertspoon amounts). 7.2 to 7.4 is ideal.
  5. Allow water to circulate for approximately 30 minutes. Add 50g per 1,000L of Spa Chlor with filter running to initially oxidise the water
  6. After 20 minutes, test the water with the AquaChek Chlorine Test Strips to check that a 1-2 ppm Free Chlorine residual is maintained.

DAILY

  • Test and adjust pH accordingly – 7.2-7.4 is ideal
  • Test Chlorine levels. Add Spa Chlor as required – always maintain a 1-2 ppm reading

WEEKLY

  • Super chlorinate (shock dose) the pool with 50g per 1,000L Spa Chlor

If required:

  • Check and clean cartridge filter with hose.
  • Use No Foam to control foaming
  • Velvet Touch water enhancer giving the water a soft, velvety feel to the water.  It clarifies and gives protection against corrosion
  • Crystal Clear eliminates suspended dirt and organic matter that encourages bacteria and algae growth

EVERY 8-12 WEEKS
