4.4. MAINTENANCE OF THE WATER

Water maintenance is one of the areas where the user should provide greatest attention, given
its importance. This maintenance will depend on the mineral content of the water used, of the
Spa's frequency of use, and of the number of people using the Spa.
There are three main points to take into account in water maintenance:
WATER FILTRATION
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS AND PH CONTROL
DISINFECTION OF THE WATER

4.4.1. Safety in the use of chemical products

Before using any chemical product, carefully read the instructions for use on its product label.
It is advisable for it to always be the same person to use the chemical products. Keep these
products outside children's reach.
Add to the water the exact amounts specified, not more and not less.
Maintain the containers closed, in dry and well-ventilated places.
Do not inhale the chemical products, and do not allow them to enter into contact with your
eyes, nose or mouth. Wash your hands thoroughly after use.
In case of accident or ingestion, follow the emergency indications described on the product
label.
Do not smoke while handling these products. They may be flammable.
Store these products in an appropriate place.
Do not mix products. Add to the water first one and then another product in order to avoid
reactions between them.
Do not put chemical products into the water while there are persons inside the Spa.

4.4.2. Adjusting the pH

It is recommended to maintain the pH index between 7.2 and 7.6.
The pH level measures acidity and alkalinity. Values above 7 are alkaline, whereas values
above 7 are acid.
It is very important to maintain an adequate pH level both for the good operation of the
disinfectant and to avoid corrosion or scaling in the Spa.
If the level of pH is very low, the effects are as follows:
- The disinfectant will dissolve rapidly.
- The Spa kit may start to show corrosion.
- The water may start to produce irritation in bathers.
If the level of pH is very high, the effects are as follows:
- The disinfectant is less effective.
- The acrylic and the kit may start to show scaling.
- The water may turn cloudy.
- The filter cartridge pores may be obstructed.
Check the pH of the water with the pH analyser case on a daily basis.
