| Every day, bacteria and other contaminants can find their way into your spa water. Care should be taken to enhance circulation – this will help prevent these contaminants from becoming problems |
| |
As the water circulates it:
• passes through the filter and the suspended particles are trapped.
• thoroughly distributes the Spa Guard products that kill bacteria, eliminate undesirable compounds, and help prevent problems.
|
| |
What You Need to do: |
1. Run your spa's circulation system every day. Check your spa owner's manual to determine how long your spa's circulation system should run or ask our customer service experts for toll free advice.
2. If your spa has a separate circulation pump that runs continuously, simply make sure that your system is always in good working order.

| If left unchecked, contaminants such as dirt, oil, and even bacteria can accumulate at the waterline, much like a bathtub ring. Good spa care involves regular cleaning of surfaces. This will not only preserve the surfaces, but will also make the whole spa environment look and feel better |
| |
What You Need to do: |
| |
1. Use a skimmer net to remove floating debris.
2. Brush and vacuum the spa.
3. If you have a skimmer basket, empty it once or twice a week.
4. Clean the oily ring that forms at the waterline using Spa Guard® Surface Cleaner or Spa Guard Spa Mitts. This fast-acting product breaks up the oils and debris at the waterline so you can easily wipe the surface clean. Unlike most common household cleaners, Spa Guard Surface Cleaner is totally compatible with your spa's water chemistry.
5. Prevent waterline build-up with Spa Guard Natural Spa Enzyme. This natural product has enzymes that digest most oils and eliminate them from the water.
By removing these oils:
• Your spa will be less likely to form foam.
• The surface will be easier to clean.
• The waterline will require less frequent cleaning.
• The filter will require less maintenance.

Many spa care mistakes are caused by poor filtration. A filter that's operating properly helps keep the water clear by capturing the hair, oils, and cosmetics that wash off when people use the spa. When the filter is dirty or clogged, all this debris remains in the water. Most spas have a cartridge filter. Check your owner's manual for detailed information on how to remove the filter for cleaning. Typically you should clean the filter every 4-6 weeks. |
| |
What You Need to do: |
| |
1. Remove the cartridge.
2. Rinse with a garden hose to remove loose debris. A hose-end nozzle is best. A pressure washer has too much pressure. (NOTE: this will not eliminate the accumulated oils.)
3. Every time you clean your filter, use Spa Guard Filter Cleaner and De greaser according to label instructions. This will dissolve and loosen the built-up oil and dirt. If you are on the SoftSoak program, use SoftSoak Filter Cleaner.
4. Thoroughly rinse the cartridge again. (Ideally the cartridge should be allowed to dry before being returned to service.)
5. Return the cleaned cartridge to the filter housing.
6. Replace the filter element as often as needed. Twice a tear is average.
7. Use Spa Guard Water Clarifier weekly. If you are on the SoftSoak program click here. Some particles of debris are microscopic and too small for the filter to catch. Water Clarifier will help join these tiny particles together and allow the filter to remove them, keeping the water clear. Spa Guard Water Clarifier is compatible with the SoftSoak program.

By using a Spa Guard program in your spa care regimen, you’ll receive numerous benefits. When used according to label instructions, Spa Guard products will:
Make the water feel clean and comfortable.
Kill bacteria which can multiply rapidly in a spa.
Protect spa surfaces from stains caused by metals which are often dissolved in water.
Protect spa equipment from scale caused by calcium deposits. Scale can accumulate on spa surfaces and inside filters and heaters, greatly reducing their effectiveness. |

| |
| Teal: Accessories to keep the spa surfaces clean and the water beautiful. |
| |
| 1:
Maintain an adequate sanitizer level at all times to kill bacteria.
• Spa Guard® Brominating Concentrate. Bromine is an ideal bacteria fighter in spa care. Simply add these concentrated granules into the spa water according to label instructions. A double dose of Brominating Concentrate can also serve as a shock.
• Brominating Tablets. As these Brominating Tablets dissolve, they release powerful protection against bacteria. Use them in a brominator or in a floating feeder. IMPORTANT: Do not place Brominating Tablets in the skimmer or drop directly onto the spa's surface.
• Chlorinating Concentrate. This fast dissolving chlorine product is also effective against bacteria and easy to apply. Sprinkle the granules directly into the spa according to label instructions. A double dose can also serve as shock. |
| 2: Use Spa Guard Enhanced Shock* (or a shock dosage of Brominating or Chlorinating Concentrate) to remove undesirable compounds, eliminate odors, clarify the water, and restore the sparkle. Spa Guard Enhanced Shock is the preferred routine shock product in spa care. This patented formula has oxidizers to remove undesirable compounds and clarifiers to make the water beautiful and clear. And it works fast so you can quickly get right back to relaxing.
Every time you refill your spa with fresh water use Spa Guard Stain and Scale Control to prevent metal stains and scale build-up. If your water contains high levels of minerals or metals, your Spa Guard Dealer may also recommend a weekly maintenance dose in your spa care routine.
Even if your spa is equipped with an ozone generator, you still need Spa Guard sanitizing and "shock products." Ozone can provide some oxidizing support, but ozone is very short lived. Spa Guard sanitizers provide the continuous, reliable protection you need. |
