8.1. Spa water treatment / Weekly maintenance
In a closed system where water is recycled, such as in a spa, the water must be treated
with chemical products.
The main reason for chemical treatment is to maintain water cleanliness and
irreproachable quality. Well balanced water (pH) protects bathers and avoids damaging
the spa components, but chemical treatments are limited.
Chemical residues are deposited as water evaporates. When these residues combine
with other residues, such as those coming from oil and detergents, the quality of the
water becomes difficult to maintain. Because of the residual effect, it is often simpler and
more effective to drain and clean the spa and renew the water. It is recommended to
renew the water at least every 3 months (then clean, or if necessary, change the
filtration cartridges)
Depending on the number of bathers and the frequency of use, water may be emptied
and renewed more frequently (once a month for a 1200L spa used every day by 4
people).
Please prepare the water during the filtration cycle or if this cycle is not operating, by
activating pump 1 at low speed to guarantee a homogeneous distribution of products.
Before adding chemical products to the water, refer to the volume of water table for
your spa in the
