Coleman Saluspa Inflatable Hot Tub Chemical Instructions
Coleman Saluspa inflatable hot tubs provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience. However, maintaining the proper water chemistry is crucial for both your comfort and the longevity of your hot tub. Here's a guide to using chemicals in your Coleman Saluspa:
Essential Chemicals:
- Sanitizer: This is the most important chemical for keeping your hot tub clean and safe. You have two main options:
- Chlorine: This is the most common and cost-effective sanitizer. Use a chlorine-based product specifically designed for hot tubs.
- Bromine: This sanitizer is more effective in hot tubs with high temperatures and is also more gentle on skin.
- pH Adjuster: This chemical controls the water's acidity. Ideal pH levels range from 7.2 to 7.6. You'll need both a pH increaser and a pH reducer.
- Alkalinity Adjuster: This chemical helps stabilize the pH level, preventing large fluctuations. Aim for an alkalinity level of 80 to 120 ppm.
- Water Clarifier: This chemical helps to remove small particles and improve the water's clarity.
- Anti-Foam: This chemical helps prevent excessive foaming.
Using Chemicals:
- Start Fresh: Always start with fresh, clean water.
- Read Instructions: Carefully read the instructions on all chemical containers before adding them to the hot tub.
- Add Chemicals in the Proper Order:
- Sanitizer: Add the sanitizer first.
- pH Adjuster: Check the pH level and add the appropriate amount of pH increaser or reducer.
- Alkalinity Adjuster: Adjust alkalinity as needed.
- Clarifier: Add the clarifier according to instructions.
- Anti-Foam: Add if necessary.
- Dispense Properly: Distribute chemicals evenly throughout the water. Avoid direct contact with the hot tub liner.
- Circulate: Run the hot tub's filtration system for at least two hours after adding chemicals to ensure proper mixing.
- Test Regularly: Regularly test the water using a chemical test kit. Adjust chemical levels as needed.
Maintenance Tips:
- Clean Regularly: Use a hot tub cleaner to remove debris from the bottom and sides of the hot tub.
- Replace Water: Change the water every 3-4 months or as needed, depending on usage.
- Store Chemicals Properly: Store chemicals in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and pets.
Important Notes:
- Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Always refer to the specific instructions in your Coleman Saluspa manual for detailed chemical recommendations and usage guidelines.
- Safety First: Wear protective gloves when handling chemicals. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
- Seek Professional Advice: If you are unsure about proper chemical use or have any concerns, contact a pool and spa professional for assistance.
Following these guidelines will ensure that your Coleman Saluspa inflatable hot tub remains clean, safe, and enjoyable for many relaxing soaks.
