Water Quality and Water Chemistry

Maintaining water quality and water chemistry in your spa is extremely important and should be a regular part of your spa maintenance program, as a neglected spa can be a breeding place for dangerous bacteria.

The water quality of your spa is maintained by a combination of filtration and chemistry. The spa’s integral filter system helps maintain the water cleanliness and clarity by trapping most solid materials such as body oils, hair, and other debris resulting from normal use. However, the most important part of maintaining water chemistry is keeping the proper level of disinfectant in the water at all times. This is accomplished by adding chlorine or bromine to the water, which will control particles too small to be trapped by the filter, such as bacteria and algae, and will oxidize any organic materials. Follow instructions provided here and with water quality products for the health and safety of spa users, as well as to make your spa bathing as enjoyable as possible.

Filtration

The filtration system of your spa will keep your water clear and clean if used properly. We recommend that you run your filter system for at least two hours each day. The filter cartridge elements will trap most solid materials and debris in the water. However, the presence of materials such as body oils or other particles which are too small to be captured in the filters may bring about various undesir- able water quality conditions. These conditions can be corrected with the use of spa treatment chemicals which are available from your Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath dealer. Such conditions include the following:

Foaming: A defoamer is available to minimize foaming of the water. This condition is usually caused by the addition of soaps or oils, or other fatty substances to the spa water. The interaction of these with hot water, especially at high pH (more alkali) will cause the water to foam. (See Water Quality Definitions.)

Oil Film or Cloudy Water: Add clarifier to congeal oil film on the water surface into globules sufficiently large to be trapped by the system’s filter. Cloudiness is caused by particles that are too small to be trapped in the filter and is also due to the presence of human body oils, lotions, and cosmetics. After adding clarifiers, these materials will accumulate on the filter element and clog its pores. The addition of clarifier will make the water clearer, but clogged filters must be cleaned as prescribed under the section entitled “Filter Maintenance” in this manual.

Hard Water: Add a de-mineralizer to break down or de-ionize mineral particles present in the spa water.

Follow the “Filter Maintenance” procedure described in this manual to ensure optimum performance of your spa’s filtration system.

Water Chemistry

You can ensure better water chemistry by testing your

spa water every day and adjusting the chemical balance frequently. Obtain a water quality test kit, designed espe-
