ecoONE Simple Start-Up
To get your spa off to the right start using ecoONE follow this
simple procedure.
1. Drain and clean your spa
With any hot tub disinfection system you should use a
pipe cleaner at every water change to remove bio-film and other
unwanted deposits from the plumbing and equipment. The ecoONE system includes a pipe cleaner and biofilm eliminator called jetONE. Flush your spa’s jets and pipework
thoroughly, following the instructions on the bottle, then drain. It is alway better to leave a biofilm eliminator to work on the tub overnight, if possible.
Clean the inside of your spa shell
with a non-abrasive pad and a small amount of a
proprietary spa surface cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Never
use household cleaning products on your spa because they are not
compatible with spa water chemistry and are likely to cause water
balance problems and excessive foaming.
Clean your spa cover with a Spa Cover Cleaner to remove any mildew or bacterial deposits.
2.
Clean and replace your filters
Hoze down your filters to remove any debris or loose
material then clean them in your dishwasher, or soak overnight in a
suitable, plastic container. You should use a proprietary Filter Cleaner
to remove scale, oils and grease from the cartridge element. The ecoONE system includes a filter cleaner called filterONE.
Replace clean, dry filters into the tub.
3.
Refill with fresh water
The ecoONE Pre-Filter saves you money, time and
hassle by removing or reducing most common water contaminants before
they get into your spa. It simply connects to the end of your hose
and filters your source water as it enters your tub. It removes:
- dissolved heavy metals
- calcites and lime scale
- organic contaminants
- hundreds of other common water contaminants
The ecoONE Pre-Filter will remove 90% of chlorine
and 98% of metals from up to 40,000 US gallons of tap water.
4. Shock and balance your water
When your tub is full and heated apply a shock product to the water to remove any dissolved organic contaminants
remaining in your
fill water. Then, as with any sanitizer system, you
should also make sure that your water is adequately balanced to
protect your equipment and ensure that the water remains
comfortable to bathe in.
Check the water balance for Total Alkalinity
and pH. If your fresh water is outside the ranges shown
below you should use water balance adjusters to first
adjust the Total Alkalinity and then the pH:
- Total Alkalinity – 80 – 120ppm
-
pH – 7.2 – 8.2
In may parts of the UK no water balance adjustment
will be needed.
5. Add ecoONE Spa Monthly
Add the entire contents of the ecoONE Monthly Spa
Treatment with all pumps running and all jets open.
6. Add Bromine and Test
Fill a floating dispenser with Bromine tablets and
adjust so that it is dispensing at a low level. Turn on all
pumps and jets and leave the water to circulate for an hour or so.
Test the Bromine level and adjust the dispenser so that a constant
level of 1 - 2 ppm is achieved. Check the Bromine level daily
for a few days and adjust the flow rate as necessary until the
correct level of Bromine is maintained.
it couldn't be easier!
