Clean your spa cover (both sides) thoroughly with Spa Cover Cleaner following label directions. Ensure that your spa area has proper ventilation if it's indoors.
Make sure that you are using the right amount of chemicals for your spa size. If you are using your spa more than 3 times a week, be sure to use the higher maintenance dose of Spa Shock (2 oz. per 100 gallons of water).
Make sure that no incompatible chemicals have been added to the spa.
Check to see when you last drained your spa. Spas with water older than 60–90 days should be drained and refilled. Finally, if the odor still persists, drain the spa and clean the spa surface with BaquaSpa Surface Cleaner and refill with fresh water.

Clean Your Spa Shell

Clean your spa shell at the waterline regularly with Surface Cleaner and a spa cleaning pad.

Brilliance for Spas

Clean Your Spa Filter

Clean your spa filter at least once every 4–6 weeks with Filter Cleaner. Here’s how:

Remove cartridge or elements from filter housing and rinse with water.
Add 5 gallons of water to a clean plastic or rubber bucket.
Add 16 ounces (1 bottle) of Filter Cleaner to the bucket.
Place cartridge or elements inside bucket and allow to soak for at least 24 hours. Make sure the cartridge or elements are completely immersed in the solution.
Using appropriate personal protection equipment (rubber gloves and eye protection), remove the cartridge from the cleaning solution and thoroughly rinse it with a garden hose.
Reassemble filter and resume normal operation.

To properly dispose of the filter cleaning solution, add 6 ounces of pH Increaser to neutralize the solution; dilute with water. Then flush away to a sewer using plenty of water.

**A degreaser/TSP (trisodium phosphate) should not be used for filter cleaning with BaquaSpa or other biguanides.

Handling Chemicals

Tips for Safe, Healthy Spa Chemical Use

Spa chemicals are necessary to control bacteria and to maximize the life of your spa and its equipment. In concentrated form these chemicals, like other household chemicals, can be hazardous. Always handle and use them with care. Refer to the product's label for safety and handling information or see an Authorized Dealer

Never mix chemicals together. The result could be fire, explosion, or release of dangerous gas.
Most spa chemicals are harmful if swallowed — many can injure skin and eyes.
Keep out of reach of children.
Always store chemicals in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Chemicals must be kept in their original containers. They must never be stored next to a heat source or open flame. Do not store in car trunk, or next to other chemicals — especially fertilizers and insecticides.
Always add the chemical to the water, never the water to the chemical. Keep containers closed to seal out water or contamination.
Always use clean, dry equipment when handling, transferring or measuring chemicals.
Always follow label instructions for any chemical spills.
Know the first aid instructions for all the chemicals you use. Keep emergency medical and poison control numbers handy. In case of emergency, call the poison control center nearest you or call 1-800-654-6911.
Don’t smoke and handle chemicals. Some of the fumes are explosive.
Keep concentrated chemicals away from lawn and plantings.
Always make sure containers are tightly resealed immediately after use.
Always wear the proper protective equipment (rubber gloves, safety goggles, etc.) when handling chemicals.

Clean Your Spa Cover

Clean your cover every other week with BaquaSpa Cover Cleaner, concentrating on the water side. Here’s how:

If possible, place cover upside down on a flat surface.
Pour a puddle of BaquaSpa Cover Cleaner (about 6"–9" in diameter)onto cover and scrub with a spa cleaning pad.
Rinse cover thoroughly and replace cover on spa.
Pour a 2"–3" puddle of BaquaSpa Cover Cleaner on top of cover and scrub with a spa cleaning pad.

Water Balance

No matter which sanitizing system you choose, keeping the water balanced is essential to your enjoyment of the spa. Water is balanced when pH, total alkalinity and hardness are all within the proper range. Problems arise when any of these factors are too high or low.

Unbalanced water can become corrosive or cause the formation of scale deposits. Corrosive water also attacks the integrity of metal components; pitting, etching and staining them. Scale formation causes cloudy water, surface staining or short filter cycling. Any of these conditions can cause problems for the spa, and irritations, especially of the eyes and skin, for the people using it.
