HINTS AND TIPS

HINTS AND TIPS ADDITIONAL HINTS AND TIPS FOR USING SPA SOLUTION : 1. We recommend selective use of fragrances with this product because not all are compatible. Try a small amount at a time to test for compatibility. 2. Spa Solution is a positively charged ion. Your tubs’ surface has a negative charge. Once in a 90-day period, they will bond, and you will notice a slight film develop on the surface of your tub. All that you need to do is wipe the inside of your tub with a clean cloth or sponge to break this bond. The great result of this bonding is that it also creates a natural lubricant within your spa, coating your heating element, pump, seals, and your plumbing, allowing your tub’s mechanics to work longer and better. 3. For the first day or two, and very occasionally thereafter, you may experience an organic smell. This simply means Spa Solution has found contaminants and is working harder. In the case of an occasional organic smell, this may suggest your filter requires more frequent cleaning. Make sure the pH is between 8.0 and 8.4. Check to make sure the underside and inside of the cover has been cleaned. 4. Spa Solution is compatible with ozonators, chlorine and bromine. We recommend that your local government guidelines regarding appropriate sanitizer levels be followed. 5. Cloudy water may be caused by frequent use by a large number of bathers, or lotions, oils, deodorants, sunscreens or other products used on the skin or soap residues in bathing suits. To clear up cloudy water: * Make sure spa users and bathing suits are as clean as possible. * Make sure the filter has been rinsed with hot water. * Make sure the filtration system runs at least 8 hours a day. * Water clarifier (available at your spa product retailer) can be used to speed up recovery time. * Be patient. The spa water will clear up and does not have to be drained if the water is cloudy; Spa Solution just needs some time to do its job. 6. If your spa water has a high mineral content, it may be necessary to use a product to aid in the removal of the mineral. A high iron content, for example, may tend to leave a brownish ring around the spa. A high Calcium content will leave flakes or a precipitate on the side walls below the water line. Most spa dealers will stock this item. Alternately, you can fill the spa with softened water which already has the mineral content removed by the softener. 7. A low pH is very unusual and indicates that an acidic substance has entered the water. Spa Solution will restore the pH to the range in which it works best, 8.0 to 8.4. To aid in the recovery of this normal range, a pH up product can be used.
