Sanitizing with Ozone
Spas vary in size, and frequency and conditions
of use. For this reason you will need to establish
your sanitizing program based upon your own
personal use. When using ozone, you should
start by balancing your water chemistry as
you normally would. A spa should run and
be ozonated a minimum of four hours per
day. If your spa is heavily used, this run time
should be increased. Your spa produces ozone
during the ltration cycles. The amount of a
residual sanitizer (chlorine or bromine) that you
maintain in the water will also vary depending
on use. It is recommended that you maintain a
residual of 3.0-5.0 ppm. Periodically, and after
periods of heavy use, it is necessary to ‘shock’
your spa with large amounts of sanitizer.
NOTE: Extra ltration can be provided by
manually starting a clean-up cycle. Turn
Pump 1 on in low speed. The pump will
operate for an extended period and then
automatically turn o. The heater will also
operate during this period if the controls
are set in Standard or Ready mode.
Specialty Chemicals
While ozone and UV may signicantly reduce
the usage of specialty chemicals (chlorine and
bromine), they are not a substitute for these
chemicals. All chemicals should continue to be
monitored, especially during periods of heavy
usage and when changing or replenishing the
spa water.
Draining your Spa
NOTE: Always turn the circuit breaker o
when you drain your spa. Do not turn the
spa heater back on until you have full ow
coming from the jets for several minutes.
High concentrations of impurities caused by
water evaporation, body oils, perfumes, and
other contaminants may accumulate in the
spa and cannot be ltered out.
NOTE: It is advisable to drain your spa and
rell it with fresh water every six to eight
weeks or more often, depending on the
amount of use.
All spas are equipped with both external and
internal drains. The external drain is used for
draining the spa. The internal drain(s) are used
to remove water from internal hoses when
winterizing your spa (See pg. 43) or if the
water is severely contaminated.
NOTE: Use a standard garden hose to direct
the water to an appropriate disposal area.
The external drain valve is located at the base
of the spa below the side panel, usually on
the front left corner of the spa. Remove the
outer black cap and connect a garden hose
to the tting. Turn the ring on the back of the
valve counter-clockwise until it stops, then
pull out to open the valve. Water will begin to
ow. When ow stops, push in the valve, turn
ring clockwise until it stops, remove hose and
replace the cap.
The internal drain hose(s) are located behind
the front access panel under the spa. Remove
the access panel screws and the access panel.
Locate the drain hose(s). For each hose drain
valve, remove the cap, attach the garden hose,
and follow the same procedure as the external
drain. Water will begin to ow. When all water
has been evacuated, push the valve back in,
turn the valve back clockwise until it stops.
Remove garden hose and replace the cap.
Repeat for each internal drain hose.
