Opening up your spa or hot tub the right way will save time, expense
and frustration later on. If the spa is part of a pool, follow the
steps for pool opening. If it is a separate unit, follow the steps
below:
- Remove the cover and drain the spa if necessary.
- Remove all plugs and re-install any fittings that were removed
during spa closing. Replace the skimmer and weir.
- Reinstall motor, pump, air blower and heater if they were removed.
- As you fill the spa, add SpaTime®
Stain & Scale Control according to label directions
to protect from any stain or scale producing properties of the
fill water.
- When the spa is full, add SpaTime
Water Clarifier according to label directions. This will
combine any unfilterable particles in the fill water into larger
masses that can then be filtered out, resulting in clear water.
- Test the total alkalinity level and adjust if necessary. A total
alkalinity of 125-150 ppm (parts per million) is crucial to keeping
pH in the desired range. (For more information, go to Testing.)
- Test and adjust the pH level to 7.2 — 7.6 if needed. (For
more information, go to Testing.)
- Start the filtration system and circulate the water for at least
30 minutes.
- Add the SpaTime sanitizer product of choice (Chlorinating
Granules, Brominating
Tablets or Brominating
Granules) according to label directions. (For product
information, go to About Our Products.)
- Wait several hours and test the bromine or chlorine residual.
Add more sanitizer product if needed to bring the reading to the
proper residual level. Bromine levels should be maintained between
2.0 — 4.0 ppm for spas brominated with SpaTime
Brominating Tablets and 3.0 — 6.0 ppm for spas sanitized
with SpaTime Brominating
Granules. When using SpaTime
Chlorinating Granules to sanitize your spa, keep your
free available chlorine level between 3.0 — 5.0 ppm.
- Start the heater and adjust the thermostat to the desired setting.
