Start-Up
- Drain and refill the hot tub with fresh water
- Balance the spa water
- Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
- pH: 7.2 - 7.6
- Calcium Hardness: 200 - 400 ppm
- Total Dissolved Solids: 300 - 2000 ppm
- Install the Nature2 into the hot tub. Refer to Assembly and Installation diagrams provided with the Nature2 Mineral Stick
- Superoxidize the hot tub water with dichlor (SpaBoss Chlor Aid) according to manufacturer's instructions to burn off contaminants and activate cartridge.
- Add 1.5 tablespoons of SpaBoss Chlor Aid to hot tub per 250 gallons (approx. 1000 liters). 1.5 tablespoons is approximately 3/4 oz or 24 grams
- Test the water using Test strips. Do not enter hot tub if the Chlorine reading is over 5 ppm
Before Each Use
Test the water using a test strip. If Chlorine level is low, add 1 tablespoon of Dichlor to bring chlorine level between 3 and 5 ppm.
After Each Use
Add 1 tablespoon of Non-chlorine Shock (SpaBoss Spa Shock) per 250 gallons
Once a week
- Test Alkalinity - should be between 80 and 120 ppm
- If Alkalinity is low, use SpaBoss Alka Rise to raise the alkalinity level
- If Alkalinity is high, use SpaBoss pH Reducer to lower the alkalinity level
- Test pH - should be between 7.2 and 7.6
- If pH is low, use SpaBoss pH Booster to raise the pH level
- If pH is low, use SpaBoss pH Reducer to lower the pH level
- Test for calcium hardness. It should be between 200 and 300 ppm
- if calcium hardness is low, use SpaBoss Cal Rise to raise the level
- Add a 2 oz of Prevent II per 500 gallons (a capful should be about the right amount)
Every 4 months
Drain and refill you hot tub. Replace the Nature2 and repeat start-up process
