BALANCING & SANITIZING THE WATER

Just like a car, your spa pool needs care and general maintenance to keep it looking good and running smoothly. An integral part of this maintenance is managing the water quality.

To ensure your spa pool is ready to be used at all times, the water needs to be sanitized and balanced to keep it clean and fresh.

You may have received a Water Care Startup Kit with your spa pool (please purchase one if you have not). Follow the ‘WaterCareHandbook’ found in your iPack or download a copy from our support page link at the bottom of this page.

Only use Alpine Spas, PureSpas or Spa Supplies approved products (including filter cartridges) in your spa pool. Use of unapproved products may result in your warranty becoming void, please contact us if in doubt.

FAILING TO BALANCE AND SANITIZE YOUR SPA POOL CORRECTLY MAY RESULT IN CORROSION OR DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

Downloadour‘SpaPoolWaterCareHandbook’fromoursupportpage:http://alpinespas.co.nz/support/

Your first steps in treating the spa pool water will require the use of the topside control panel. See the quick reference guides on the following pages.
