BASIC INFORMATION

It’s important to have clean water. Water maintenance is one of the least

understood, yet most important, areas of spa ownership. Your dealer

can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining perfect

water in your spa, given your local conditions.

IMPORTANT: Water Terminology can be found at the end of this section.

• Always read & refer to the owner's manual for complete information.

• Test your water with a test strip once a week, or each time the spa is

used.

• Add chemicals in frequent small amounts to prevent overdosing the

spa.

• Use the spa only when the chlorine level is between 1-5 ppm or

manually add chlorine as needed.

• When using ACE

System, read & refer to the ACE owner's manual.

• It is the spa owner's responsibility to prevent over or under

chlorination.

IMPORTANT: Remember to change your water every three to four

months. Spa water that is maintained using the ACE Salt Water Sanitizing

System may last much longer - up to twelve months, with proper care*.

Refer to the ACE owner's manual for detailed instructions.

Check with your HOT SPRING dealer to determine if water in your

region has unique qualities - such as high metal or mineral content - that

should be addressed.

Your program will depend on your water’s mineral content, how often

you use your spa, and how many people use it.

WATER QUALITY CHART

PARAMETER TARGET MIN - "OK" RANGE - MAX

ALKALINITY 80 ppm 40 ppm 120 ppm

HARDNESS 100 ppm 50 ppm 150 ppm

CHLORINE 3 ppm 1 ppm 5 ppm

Maintaining the water quality and the cleanliness of the filters in your spa

is your responsibility. Keeping the spa water balanced prolongs the life

of the spa components and will make the water more comfortable. Your

dealer can guide you through the process of achieving and maintaining

perfect water in your spa, given your local conditions. Your program will

depend on your water’s mineral content, how often you use your spa,

and how many people use it. Watkins Manufacturing Corporation has

developed several water care systems and products to simplify water

care which are available from authorized HOT SPRING dealers

CHEMICAL SAFETY

When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow directions

precisely. Though chemicals protect you and your spa when used

correctly, they can be hazardous in concentrated form. Always observe

the following guidelines:

• Allow only a responsible person to handle spa chemicals. Keep them

out of the reach of children.

• Accurately measure the exact quantities specified, never more. Do not

overdose your spa.

• Handle all containers with care. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated

place.

• Always keep chemical containers closed when not in use. Replace

caps on their proper containers.

• Don't inhale fumes, or allow chemicals to come in contact with your

eyes, nose, or mouth. Wash your hands immediately after use.

• Follow the emergency advice on the product label in case of accidental

contact, or if the chemical is swallowed. Call a doctor or the local

Poison Control Center. If a doctor is needed, take the product container

along with you so that the substance can be identified.

• Don't let chemicals get on surrounding surfaces or landscaping. Don't

use a vacuum cleaner to clean up chemical spills.

• Never smoke around chemicals. Some fumes can be highly flammable.

• Don't store any chemicals in the spa equipment compartment.

HOW TO ADD CHEMICALS

TO THE WATER

IMPORTANT: All spa water chemicals, including granulated dichlor,

MPS, granulated pH increaser or decreaser, granulated total alkalinity

increaser, liquid stain and scale inhibitor, and liquid defoamer must

always be added directly into the filter compartment while the jet pump

is running in its high speed mode, and it must run for a minimum of ten

minutes.

To Administer Spa Water Chemicals:

1. Fold back the cover. Carefully remove and set aside the filter

compartment cover.

2. On your Control Panel:

GRANDEE & ENVOY modelS:

• Press on Home Screen to display Clean Screen.

• Press Start to begin the Clean Cycle.

VANGUARD, ARIA, SOVEREIGN, PRODIGY & JETSETTER Models:

• Push the CLEAN soft button (on home screen) to turn on the jet pump.

3. Carefully measure the recommended amount of chemical and slowly

pour it into the filter compartment. Use care not to splash chemicals

on your hands, in your eyes, on the spa shell surface, or on the spa

cabinet.

4. Replace the filter compartment cover. After ten minutes, the jet pump

will automatically shut off to complete the procedure. Close and secure

the cover.

DANGER:

Risk of Drowning: Never leave an open spa unattended!

IMPORTANT: After administering a super chlorination treatment or non-

chlorine shock to your spa, leave the cover open for a minimum of 20

minutes to allow the oxidizer gas to vent. A high concentration of trapped

oxidizer gas which may exist as a result of the shock treatment (not daily

sanitation) may eventually cause discoloration or vinyl degradation to the

bottom of the cover. This type of damage is considered chemical abuse and

is not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.
