Free Chlorine w/ ClearRay 1.0 - 2.0 ppm
Free Chlorine w/o ClearRay 3.0 - 5.0 ppm
Free Bromine w/ ClearRay  2.0 – 4.0 ppm
 Free Bromine w/o ClearRay  4.0 – 6.0 ppm
MPS Weekly 2 oz. per 250 gallons
Alkalinity  80-120 ppm 
pH 7.2 – 7.8
Calcium Hardness 200–350ppm*
Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) 30–70ppm
TDS Less than 1500 ppm

*Calcium Levels should be on the lower end in Salt Pools & Spas.

 

 

Upon fill up:

 
1. Add 2oz of Chlorine directly to water
2. Pour one half (250 gallon spas or less) or one full bottle (250+ gallon spas) of Metal Gon directly into water
3. Insert Mineral Cartridge into filter or skimmer bag.
4. Add 2 oz. of Defender directly into water
5. Test and adjust Calcium Hardness with Calcium Booster if necessary 
6. Wait at least 12 hours and check Ph with Test Strip
7. Adjust Ph as necessary with Spa Up or Spa Down
 
After Each Use:
 
1. Add approximately ½ - 1 oz (with ClearRay, double without) of chlorine directly to water 
 
Weekly Maintenance:
 
1. Check Ph with Test Strip and adjust as necessary
2. Add 2 oz. of Defender directly to water
3. Add 2 oz. (per 250 gallons) of Renew directly to water or super chlorinate with 2 oz. (per 350 gallons) of Spa 56 
4. Check Chlorine Levels with test strip
 
As needed:
1. Add 2 oz. of Bright & Clear if water is cloudy
2. Add 2 oz. of Enzyme if spa develops a scum line around water
3. Add 2 oz. of Foam Down if water is excessively foamy
 
Monthly:
 
1. Apply Cover Care & Conditioner to cover to protect from UV rays
2. Remove filters from the spa.  Rinse filters thoroughly and reinstall into spa.
 
Every 3-4 months:
 
1. Drain spa and wipe down shell with a cotton towel.  Once dry, apply a thin layer of Fast Gloss to the shell, allow 15 minutes to dry, and wipe off with a clean cotton towel.
2. Remove filters from the spa.  Dilute one bottle of Filter Clean in four gallons of water and allow filters to soak for at least three hours.  Rinse filters thoroughly and reinstall into spa.
3. Refill spa and refer to the Upon fill up portion above  
 


When doing a series of adjustments, make sure to adjust pH levels first, then alkalinity.

Always add the chemical to the water, never the water to the chemical!
