SPA CARE AND MAINTENANCE GENERAL INFORMATION ® our Hot Spring Spa is manufactured from the highest quality, most durable materials available. Even so, the spa care and maintenance program you develop will ultimately determine how long your spa and its individual components will last. Regular maintenance following the advice in this section will help you to protect your investment.
Always clean the filter using a filter degreaser to remove mineral and oil buildup. Simply soak the filter in the degreaser according to the ® ™ degreaser directions (Watkins Manufacturing Corp. Recommends cleaning the filters using HotSpring FreshWater filter cleaning products), then place the filter on a clean surface and spray until clean using a garden hose.

At least one day before you leave, set the temperature to its lowest level. This setting should represent an approximate water temperature of 80°F.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Spa water oxidizers such as sodium dichlor chlorine maintain their level of effectiveness substantially longer in warm water (80°F) than in hot water (101°F to 104°F). NOTES:. The standpipes may have a silicone sealant temporarily holding them in place and it may take firm pressure to get them to initially break free. ®. On spas equipped with two jet pumps, each jet pump system and SmartJet system must be purged.
The water’s chemical balance and pH control are also the responsibility of the spa owner. You will have to add chemicals to maintain proper levels of Total Alkalinity (TA), Calcium Hardness (CH) and pH.
Proper water balance and pH control will minimize scale buildup and corrosion of metals, extend the life of the spa, and allow the sanitizer to work at maximum efficiency. ® THE HOT SPRING SPA WATER MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Each step in your water maintenance program is dependent on the completion of the previous steps. Omitting a step or failing to reach the recommended range may cause an imbalance in your water’s chemistry. Unbalanced water chemistry can damage the spa and its components as well as cause discomfort for the user. The sanitizer is less effective. Scale will form on the spa shell surface and the equipment. The water may become cloudy.
The filter cartridge pores may become obstructed. If the pH is too high, it can be decreased by adding sodium bisulfate to the spa water.
NOTE: After adding sodium bisulfate, wait two hours before testing the water for pH. Prior to Add one-half (1/2) teaspoon of chlorine per Add one (1) tablespoon of monopersulfate 250 gallons (MPS). per 250 gallons each use ® ® Landmark (Model S) 1 teaspoon Landmark (Model S) 2 tablespoons (Test before adding ® ®.

Shock the spa by adding sanitizer, either MPS or sodium dichlor. CHLORINE (SODIUM DICHLOR) A. Sanitizing chemicals, such as chlorine, are oxidants that kill bacteria and viruses in the water.
The Free Available Chlorine (FAC) is a measure of the amount of unused chlorine available to sanitize the spa. The recommended FAC for your spa water is 3.0-5.0 ppm. NOTE: Well water may contain high concentrations of minerals. The use of a low water volume, extra-fine pore water filter (in-line pre-filter ™ such as the FreshStart pre-filter) will help to remove many of the larger particles during the filling of the spa. In-line pre-filters can be 10,000 ®.
Run the spa until all 16 ounces of the vinegar are gone. This should allow an ample flow of vinegar to be run through the injector and clear the blockage. Disconnect power to the spa.
Remove the empty cup or bucket. Question: I am trying to reduce the number of chemicals to which my family is exposed.
Do I really need to use so many chemicals and in such large amounts? Answer: While over-exposure to any chemical can be unhealthful, many low levels of chemicals are effective and beneficial.

As with any appliance, problems may occasionally occur that require the expertise of a qualified service person.

® SILENT FLO 5000 CIRCULATION PUMP AND CIRCULATION PUMP THERMAL CUT-OFF ® The Hot Spring Silent Flo 5000 circulation pump is a dedicated, water cooled, energy efficient, quiet pump that provides ® continuous filtration for the spa. Since the Silent Flo 5000 pump is water cooled, it is equipped with a thermal cut-off to prevent the pump from being damaged by running hot when water is not present. MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE INFORMATION The control and high limit thermostats are equipped with electronic sensors that are connected to the spa’s plumbing. Never cut or kink the wires that connect the sensors to the thermostats within the control box. The jet pump is equipped with a thermal overload cutoff switch that is designed to protect the pump from overheating. If the pump shuts itself off in an older spa, it could indicate failure of the pump motor bearings.
