BaquaSpa Start Up

To get your spa off to the right start, follow these three simple steps: balance, chemicals, test

balance:

Fill spa, take a water sample (in a clean, plastic bottle) to your BaquaSpa dealer for analysis, and balance water according to your BaquaSpa dealer’s recommendations. Remember to chemically clean your filter.

chemicals:

Add BaquaSpa Waterline Control (prior to adding BaquaSpa Sanitizer with Stain & Scale Control)*
Add BaquaSpa Shock
Circulate the water on high speed for 15 minutes, with blowers off—do not inject air.
Add BaquaSpa Sanitizer with Stain & Scale Control and circulate for 15 minutes.

All measurements are in liquid ounces.

The measuring cup should be thoroughly rinsed after each use. The outside of the BaquaSpa Shock bottle should be wiped with a clean, damp cloth after use to remove any liquid that may have dripped onto it.

*NOTE: Chemicals can be added to either cold or hot water. If water temperature is cold, the addition of BaquaSpa Waterline Control may cause a temporary cloudy condition. Once the temperature reaches normal spa levels (98-104°F), the cloudiness will disappear. BaquaSpa Sanitizer with Stain & Scale Control will react with some impurities in the water to form insoluble particles. Within the small environment of a spa, these insolubles may be deposited on the spa shell, especially at initial start-up. This "bathtub ring" will vary depending on the quality of the fill water, and usually appears as yellow/brown, sticky deposits. Wipe affected areas clean with BaquaSpa Surface Cleaner. When used properly, BaquaSpa Waterline Control will eliminate deposits from forming on the spa shell.

test:

Use a BaquaSpa Test Strip to test the BaquaSpa Sanitizer with Stain & Scale Control level. If the level is between 30 and 50 ppm, your spa is ready to use
