Hot Tub Water Care

Important Instructions for EZ SPA Water Care:

1. Before Adding Chemicals:

   • Whenever you add chemicals to the water, make sure to turn ON the spa jets to circulate the water.

2. Daily Circulation and Filtration:

   • For the best results, circulate and filter the water for at least 8 hours each day.

3. Starting with Fresh Water:

   • When converting to EZ SPA, always begin with fresh water by draining and refilling the spa. Ensure the filter is clean.

4. Avoid Water Softeners:

   • Hard water is preferred, so avoid using water softeners.

5. EZ SPA START™ – Removing Impurities:

   • Add EZ SPA START™ to eliminate metals, phosphates, and carbonates from the water.

6. Balancing Spa Water:

   • Use the following EZ SPA products to balance the water:
     • EZ SPA UP™ and EZ SPA DOWN™ to adjust total alkalinity and pH.
     • EZ SPA CAL™ to adjust calcium hardness.
   • Maintain the following levels:
     • Total Alkalinity: 80-120 ppm
     • pH: 7.2-7.6
     • Calcium Hardness: 300-400 ppm

7. Regular Water Testing:

   • EZ SPA helps manage water balance, but it’s recommended to test the water monthly (always test before adding EZ SPA).

8. Allow Circulation Time After Adding Chemicals:

   • After adding chemicals, wait at least 30 minutes for the water to circulate before testing again.

9. EZ SPA BOOST™ – Startup and Maintenance:

   • For startup, add 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) of EZ SPA BOOST™ per 100 gallons of water.
   • For weekly maintenance, add 1/8 ounce per 100 gallons (slightly more for heavy bather use) to maintain sanitizer levels.

10. EZ SPA – Initial and Weekly Addition:

    • For the initial dose, add 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of EZ SPA per 100 gallons of water.
    • For weekly maintenance, continue adding 1 ounce per 100 gallons.
    • If your spa uses ozone or mineral purifiers, add only 1/2 ounce per 100 gallons.
    • Note that pH might slightly drop after adding EZ SPA, but the buffers will usually adjust and raise pH levels within 24-48 hours.

11. Cartridge Filter Maintenance:

    • After 12 hours, perform a pressure rinse of the cartridge filter.
    • Repeat this process once-a-week to maintain high water quality.
    • No need to chemically clean or soak the cartridge when using EZ SPA.

By following these straightforward instructions, you can keep your spa water clean and balanced with the help of EZ SPA products.
