MANUAL CHLORINE (SODIUM DICHLOR)
Watkins Wellness recommends the use of
Concentrated Chlorinating
Granules (sodium dichlor) for sanitizing the water. Sodium dichlor is
preferred because it is totally soluble, dissolves quickly, and is nearly pH
neutral. The recommended Free Available
Chlorine (FAC), the amount of
available chlorine sanitize the spa, 3.0-5.0 ppm.
If the FAC is too low: Increase the FAC by adding granulated sodium
dichlor.
If the FAC is too high: Allow time to pass and the FAC level will
naturally drop over time.
If the spa smells of chlorine: super chlorinate or shock the spa FAC
chlorine does not have an odor whereas combined spent chlorine
(chloramines) has a strong chlorine odor that can be eliminated by
shocking the water.
IMPORTANT: There are several forms of stabilized chlorine available for
use in spas and swimming pools. It is extremely important to choose one
specifically designed for spas. Use of an incorrect product such as tri-
chlor which has a very low pH (2.6) and dissolves too quickly in hot water,
results in extremely high levels of chlorine that WILL cause damage to
your spa. Use of a compressed bromine/chlorine or unapproved sanitizer
WILL damage your spa and is specifically not covered under the terms of
the limited warranty.
Water chemistry damage is not covered by the warranty. The chemical
levels and water quality in the spa are under your direct control. With
proper basic care, the spa will provide many years of hot water relaxation.
If you are unsure about any chemical or its usage in the spa, contact your
Authorized Dealer, or Watkins Wellness.
DO:
Add all chemicals slowly into the filter compartment with the jet pump
operating for ten minutes.
Use special care if using baking soda to clean either the interior or
exterior plastic surfaces.
IMPORTANT: Watkins Wellness DOES NOT recommend the use of any
floating chemical dispenser. Damage to the spa shell or components
caused by a floating chemical dispenser is specifically not covered under
the terms of the limited warranty. Floating dispensers can become
trapped in one area and cause an over-sanitization or release large
chunks of sanitizer that very quickly chemically burn the shell and cover.
DON'T:
Use compressed sanitizers.
Use a floater type sanitization system as a low or no maintenance
solution to your spa maintenance program.
Use a sanitizer which is not designed for spas.
Use swimming pool (muriatic) acid to lower pH.
Broadcast or sprinkle the chemicals onto the water surface. This
method may cause chemically-induced spa surface blistering
(chemical abuse).
OZONE MAINTENANCE (OPTIONAL)
If Reduced or no ozone bubbles are coming from the heater return
(clogged ozone injector) or no ozone, clean the injector:
DANGER: Nitric acid accumulates in the air lines of the ozonator
and injector, and will cause severe chemical burns if direct skin contact is
made. Always wear protective gloves, glasses and clothing when working
on the ozonator or injector lines. To prevent inhalation or ingestion of the
nitric acid, DO NOT blow or inhale with your mouth to any of the
adapters, fittings or tubing of the ozonator or injector air lines.
1. Place 0.5 liter of white vinegar into a cup or bucket.
2. Carefully loosen the long tubing attached to the bottom of the
ozonator, located in the equipment compartment.
3. Place the end of the tubing into the vinegar, making certain that the
end of the tubing sits at the bottom of the container.
4. Run the spa until all 0.5 liter of the vinegar are gone. This should
allow
an ample flow of vinegar to be run through the injector and clear
the blockage.
5. Reinstall the tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.
VACATION WATER CARE
INSTRUCTIONS
If you plan to be away from home, follow these instructions to ensure that
the water quality of your spa is maintained:
SHORT TIME PERIODS (3-5 DAYS)
1. Adjust the pH by following the instructions outlined in the Water
Quality and Maintenance section.
2. Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures also listed in the
Water Quality and Maintenance section.
3. Lock your cover in place using the coverlocks.
4. Upon your return, sanitize the water by following the shock
procedures, and balance the pH.
LONG TIME PERIODS (5-14 DAYS)
Prior to leaving:
1. At least one day before you leave, set the temperature to its lowest
level. This setting should represent an approximate water temperature
of 27°C (80°F)
IMPORTANT: Spa water oxidizers such as sodium dichlor (chlorine)
maintain their level of effectiveness substantially longer in warm water
27°C (
80°F
)
than in hot water 38°C - 40°C (101°F to 104°F).
2. Adjust the pH as required. Sanitize the water by following the shock
procedures.
Upon your return:
3. Sanitize the water by following the shock procedures. Return the set
temperature to its original setting. The spa water will be safe for you
to use once the Free Available Chlorine residual level has dropped
below 5.0 ppm.
IMPORTANT: If you will not be using your spa for an extended period
of time (in excess of 14 days) and an outside maintenance service (or
neighbor) is not available to assist with the water maintenance, draining
or winterizing of the spa is recommended.
