Relax…

If you’re like most people, you bought your spa or hot tub with one idea in mind…Relaxation.

PristineBlue®- Chlorine-Free Spa Products

With PristineBlue® in your spa, you can relax with the knowledge that the water is being treated without the irritating effects of chlorine or bromine.

Water treated with PristineBlue® feels softer and looks inviting without a chemical taste or odor. It’s gentle to equipment, won’t foam, won’t bleach your swimsuit and you won’t believe how good your skin will feel after a relaxing soak.

You can relax knowing that you don’t have to constantly test your water and adjust the chemical levels…Just once every two weeks does the trick.

Be sure you know the volume of your spa in gallons. Your spa dealer can help you calculate the volume and assist you with all aspects of spa ownership. They can analyze your water and recommend products and their phone number should be the first one you dial when you have a question.

Start Up on PristineBlue®

1. Drain spa and refill. Replace or clean filter thoroughly.
2. Balance water:
 • Total Alkalinity: 50-90 ppm
 • pH: 7.2-7.6
 • Calcium Hardness: 100-300 ppm
3. Add 10 milliliters of PristineCheck® per 100 gallons of water. Circulate 2-4 hours.
4. Shock with 5 milliliters (or 1 teaspoon) of PristineExtra® per 100 gallons of water. Circulate 2-4 hours.
5. Clean the filter.
6. Add 5 milliliters of PristineBlue® per 100 gallons of water.

After each use of the spa, shock with 5 milliliters (or 1 teaspoon) of PristinePower® per 100 gallons of water. (Make sure to have jets on, and run them about 10-15 minutes, so the PristinePower® will not just drop to the bottom.)

Every Two Weeks

1. Balance the water.
2. Test PristineBlue® level and add according to the Spa Dosage Chart.
3. Add 1 milliliter of PristineClean® per 100 gallons of water.
4. Add 1 milliliter of PristineClear® per 100 gallons of water.
5. Use PristineMisttm once every 4 to 6 weeks to prevent odor and discoloration to the underside of the spa cover.

(Most spa professionals recommend that you drain and refill your spa every 3 months.)

Hints and Tips

Use these helpful ideas to operate your spa safely, efficiently and economically.

1. Always shower before using the spa. Lotions, body oil, sweat, etc. may cloud the water.
2. Dry the spa surface before replacing the cover. This will prevent odor and lengthen the life of the cover.
3. Do not use household cleaners on the spa.
4. Do not use the spa under the influence of alcohol, narcotics or other drugs that can cause drowsiness.
5. If you are pregnant, consult your physician before using a spa.
6. PristineBlue® cannot be stored below 32˚ Fahrenheit.

Water Balance is the Key

An essential element in maintaining any body of water is what professionals refer to as water balance. Water balance involves several parameters that must be maintained within certain ranges to make the water comfortable and clear and to optimize the effectiveness of the chemicals being added to the water.

In using PristineBlue®, the most important parameters are total alkalinity and pH.

• Total Alkalinity: 50-90 ppm
• pH: 7.2-7.6

There are a variety of test kits and products on the market to measure and adjust these parameters. If you need help determining or adjusting your water balance, take a water sample to your dealer for a thorough analysis.

Filter, Filter and Filter Some More

Filtration is a vital part of keeping your spa water crystal clear. Most spa manufacturers recommend that water be circulated through the spa filter a minimum of 6 to 8 hours a day, but you can never filter too much. Be certain that your filtering schedule is adequate for your spa volume and usage. Keep your filter in top shape by soaking it in filter cleaner regularly and replace it as needed.
