For best results we recommend the EverFresh™ system be ozone combined with a mineral purifier and chlorine.

The goal of this program is clean healthy water. The following instructions are based on average usage (1-2 persons 3 times per week). An increase in bather load will dramatically affect water quality and require chemicals to be added more frequently.

Filling the Spa

1. Add one bottle of Metal Gon to the perimeter of the spa immediately after filling to neutralize iron, copper, and other minerals in the water.
   
   
2. Once the spa reaches set temperature, test levels of alkalinity, pH and calcium hardness. Add Spa Up (to increase) or Spa Down (to decrease) to 80-12 ppm alkalinity and 7.2-7.6 pH as needed. Optional: add 1 bottle of pH Balance to help prevent pH drift once your pH is in the ideal range. Add Calcium Booster to increase calcium hardness to 150-250 ppm as needed.
   
   
3. Place the Mineral Purifier cartridge inside or beside the filter according to box directions. Follow with 2 oz. of Renew.
   
   
4. Add 1 oz. Chlorine to reach a level of 1-3 ppm. on a test strip.
   
   
5. Keep the spa cover ON and Locked and the air controls closed when not using the spa to keep it warm and ready.

Weekly/per Use

1. Test water levels of total alkalinity and pH every few days and adjust as necessary to maintain a level of 7.2-7.6 pH.
   
   
2. Add chlorine after each use to maintain a level of 1-3 ppm (appx. 1/4 oz per person/bather. Extra chlorine may be needed after heavy use.)
   
   
3. Add 2 oz. of Renew or 3 tablets of Renew Tablets per 250 gallons oxidizing shock treatment once a week to reduce foam and odors. Be sure to run spa with the cover open for 15 minutes.
   
   
4. Alternate 2 oz of Defender once every other week to keep scale and stain from building on the heater element and spa shell. Add 2 oz. of Bright & Clear or 2 oz. of Enzyme once every other week to keep the water clear - DO NOT add within 12 hours of another product.

Monthly

Pleated cleanable filters: Clean the filter cartridge at least once a month by soaking in a solution of 16 oz. of Filter Clean and 4 gal. water, then spray it with fresh water to rinse. Replace the filter cartridge every 12-18 months. Instant Cartridge Clean can be used as a pretreatment before a soak, or if a full soak is not possible.

Disposable filters: with a 2-part filter system, the small Microclean should be replaced every 3 months, pleated portion only to be cleaned with above instructions and replaced 12-18 months. Large Microclean is a fully disposable filter - Do Not Soak. Replace every 6-9 months. Can hose off visible debris with light spray.

Every Three Months

1. Drain water and clean the spa shell every three months with Citrabright, then rinse and polish the shell with Fast Gloss. Enzyme can be used on tough stains on spa shell.
   
   
2. Replace the Mineral Purifier cartridge. Ask about our auto-ship program!
   
   
3. Clean the spa cover and polish with 303 Protectant to preserve and protect the vinyl every three months.

Yearly

Before draining your spa add 1 bottle of Jet Clean to your spa water to prevent buildup of organics, oils and minerals. Follow directions on bottle for exact procedure.
