(1) CIRCULATION: PROPER WATER CIRCULATION WILL HELP PREVENT BACTERIA AND OTHER
CONTAMINANTS FROM BECOMING PROBLEMS. AS THE WATER CIRCULATES, IT PASSES
THROUGH THE FILTER, TRAPPING SUSPENDED PARTICLES. PROPERLY CIRCULATING SPAGUARD
PRODUCTS HELP KEEP THE WATER INVITING AND READY FOR YOUR SOAKING PLEASURE.
BE SURE TO RUN YOUR SPA'S CIRCULATION SYSTEM EVERY DAY.
(2) FILTRATION: MANY SPA ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY POOR FILTRATION - WHEN THE FILTER IS DIRTY
OR CLOGGED, DEBRIS STAYS IN THE WATER. A PROPERLY CARED FOR FILTER CAPTURES HAIR,
OILS AND COSMETICS. (MOST SPAS HAVE A CARTRIDGE FILTER.) BECAUSE SPA FILTERS TRAP MANY
CONTAMINANTS, CLEANING HAS TWO STEPS: SPRAYING OFF LOOSE DEBRIS, THEN USING SPAGUARD
FILTER CLEANER TO REMOVE OILS AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS EMBEDDED INTO THE FILTER.
YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOUR FILTER EVERY 4 TO 6 WEEKS. CHECK YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL OR ASK
DJS FOR INFORMATION ON HOW TO REMOVE AND CLEAN YOUR FILTER.
(3) CLEANING: CONTAMINANTS SUCH AS DIRT, OIL AND EVEN BACTERIA CAN ACCUMULATE AT THE
WATERLINE, MUCH LIKE A BATHTUB RING. REGULAR CLEANING PRESERVES SPA SURFACES AND
PREVENTS UNWANTED BUILD-UP.
SPAGUARD SPA CLEANING MITTS - AN INNOVATIVE PRODUCT PERFECT FOR REMOVING DIRT, OIL
AND WATERLINE DEPOSITS ON ALL SPA SURFACES. MITTS ARE 100% DISPOSABLE AND COME FIVE
TO A PACK IN A RESEALABLE BAG THAT KEEPS THEM MOIST UNTIL READY FOR USE.
(4) DRAINING AND REFILLING: REGULATOR DRAINING AND REFILLING IS A NORMAL PART OF SPA
MAINTENANCE. OVER TIME, THE WATER ABSORBS AND DISSOLVES MINERALS, CHEMICALS AND
OTHER SOLUBLE MATERIAL.
HOW OFTEN YOU DRAIN AND REFILL YOUR SPA DEPENDS ON HOW OFTEN YOU USE IT.
THIS SIMPLE FORMULA CAN HELP:
SPA GALLONS DIVIDE DAILY BATHERS DIVIDE 3 = DAYS BETWEEN DRAINING
EX: 300 GALLONS DIVIDE 2 DAILY BATHERS DIVIDE 3 = 50
(5) CHEMISTRY: THERE ARE TWO PRIMARY COMPONENTS THAT AFFECT SPA WATER QUALITY:
SANITIZER (BROMINE OR CHLORINE) RESIDUAL AND PH. WHEN BOTH ARE WITHIN THEIR
RECOMMENDED RANGES, YOUR WATER IS COMFORTABLE, PROTECTED AND CLEAR; SANITIZERS
AND "SHOCK PRODUCTS" WORK EFFICIENTLY; AND SPA SURFACES AND EQUIPMENT ARE
PROTECTED.
RECOMMENDED BROMINE OR CHLORINE RESIDUAL LEVELS ARE:
BROMINE RESIDUAL (USING BROMINATING TABLETS)
RESIDENTIAL = 2 - 4 PPM
COMMERCIAL = 4 - 6 PPM
BROMINE RESIDUAL (USING BROMINATING CONCENTRATE)
3 - 6 PPM
CHLORINE RESIDUAL (USING CHLORINATING CONCENTRATE)
3 - 5 PPM
MAINTAIN PH BETWEEN 7.4 - 7.6 (THE IDEAL RANGE; ACCEPTABLE RANGE IS 7.2 - 7.6) BY ADDING
SPAGUARD SPA SENTRY, IT HOLDS THE PH WITHIN ITS OPTIMUM RANGE. SPA SENTRY IS FORMULATED TO "WATCH OVER" THE PH AND PROTECT THE WATER FROM PH CHANGES.

(6) TESTING: THE CHEMISTRY OF YOUR SPA WATER NEEDS TO BE CHECKED REGULARLY. USE
SPAGUARD PRODUCTS TO MAINTAIN THE CORRECT LEVELS, INCLUDING: SANITIZER RESIDUALS,
PH, TOTAL ALKALINITY, CALCIUM HARDNESS, METALS, AND TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS. BIOGUARD
4 WAY TEST STRIPS - AND SOFT SOAK 4 WAY TEST STRIPS FOR SOFT SOAK SPAS - TEST PH,
TOTAL ALKALINITY, AND SANITIZER LEVELS WITH ONLY ONE STRIP.
MAINTAINING PROPER LEVELS WILL MAKE THE WATER CLEAR AND COMFORTABLE, KILL BACTERIA
THAT CAN MULTIPLY RAPIDLY IN A SPA, PROTECT SPA SURFACES FROM STAINS CAUSED BY
METALS, AND PROTECT SPA EQUIPMENT FROM SCALE.
THERE ARE 3 ESSENTIAL CHEMICAL AREAS TO MAINTAIN:
1 - SANITIZATION - KILLS BACTERIA TO HELP PREVENT THE TRANSMISSION OF DISEASE.
2 - OXIDATION/SHOCK - REMOVES RESIDUES AND RESTORES CLARITY AND COMFORT.
3 - WATER BALANCE - ENSURES SPA USER COMFORT, WATER CLARITY, SANITIZER EFFICIENCY
AND LONGEVITY OF SPA SURFACES AND EQUIPMENT.
