clean, clear,
safe, chlorine-free spa water
Eco One Start-Up
To get your spa off to the right start using Eco One 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. Flush your spa’s jets and pipework
thoroughly, following the instructions for your chosen product, then drain.
We recommend using Spa Flush for this purpose since it is environmentally friendly and
totally compatible with the Eco One
system. [Note: we expect there to be an Eco One pipe cleaner available
in the UK during 2007].
Clean the inside of your spa shell
with a non-abrasive pad and a small amount of Spa Flush or 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.
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.
Sprinkle a capful of Eco One Enzyme Active Filter Boost uniformly over
the surface of your clean, dry filter(s) and replace them in the tub.
3.
Refill with fresh water
The Eco One 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 Eco One 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 non-chlorine
shock 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 Eco One 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!
