    MAINTAINING YOUR TidalFit DRAINING YOUR TidalFit Your TidalFit needs to be drained, cleaned, waxed, and refilled about every six months. More frequent water changes may be necessary if bather load is heavy. A hose bib has been provided below the left side of your front access panel, to assist you in draining your pool.
  • Page 38: Jet Care

    JET CARE We recommend that you clean your jets when you drain your pool. However, if you do need to clean your jets in between this can be accomplished with a full pool. 1) To remove the jet inserts turn the jet counterclockwise to the off position until it stops.

REMOVING, INSTALLING AND CLEANING FILTERS These are the steps needed to successfully replace your filters You should replace your disposable pool filters and clean your non-dispos- able filters every four months. 1) Turn off all power to your pool and remove the filter lid by lifting it out towards you.
  • Page 40: Winterizing Your Pool

    WINTERIZING YOUR TidalFit It is not recommended that you drain your pool completely during freez- ing conditions. We recommend that you leave your pool full of water with the power on to keep the tub from freezing. If you decide to drain your pool during freezing conditions, contact your dealer for help.
  • Page 41: Pool Cabinet Care

    This cabinet requires no maintenance. You may wish to clean the cabi- net with mild soap and water from time to time. If you elected to pur- chase your TidalFit with a wood cabinet, this cabinet is stained and sealed with an oil based acrylic stain. The stain is formulated especially for pool cabinet and deck applications and is resistant to ultraviolet light damage caused by sun rays.
  • Page 42: Cover Care

    After cleaning, make sure all residues are removed prior to filling the pool. This will help prevent sudsing and improper chemical balance. COVER CARE Cleaning of your pool cover is an important part of routine maintenance. Dirt acts as an abrasive to the vinyl topcoat, and can also cause wear to folds, seams, and stitching.
  • Page 43: Chemical Treatment Of Water

    MAINTAINING YOUR TidalFit cont... CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF WATER Water from your tap is fine for showers, bathing and drinking. However, in a contained recirculating system such as in a pool, water must be treated with chemicals. The main purpose of chemical treatment is to keep the water sanitary and to maintain a specific balance of the water.
  • Page 44: Water Chemistry

    WATER CHEMISTRY CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH balance of the water and to sanitize the water can be dangerous. Always follow these basic guidelines when handling the chemicals: 1. Always read and follow the directions on the label, unless directed otherwise.
  • Page 45 WATER CHEMISTRY cont... WATER TREATMENT GLOSSARY cont... The effects of low PH can be rapid sanitizer loss, eye and skin irritation, expedited corrosion of metals, as well as staining throughout the pool. High PH can result in cloudy water, low sanitizer efficiency, as well as eye and skin irritation.
  • Page 46 9 - Organic Matter: These are carbon-derived substances typically generated by living organisms. In a pool, they are most frequently intro- duced into the water by bathers. Enzyme products such as Spa Perfect by Natural Chemistry are most effective at eliminating organic matter from your body of water.
  • Page 47 WATER TREATMENT GLOSSARY cont... 17 - Chloramines: Irritating, odorous forms of combined chlorine, formed by the reaction of chlorine with nitrogen containing waste prod- ucts. Chloramines are ineffective as a pool or spa sanitizer. High lev- els of chloramines can cause the problems of “Red Eyes” or “Stinging Eyes.”...
  • Page 48 24 - Biguanide: The generic name for a non-chlorine, non-bromine, sanitizer that utilizes the polymer PHMB (polyhexamethylene bigu- anide). It is used to totally eliminate the use of chlorine or bromine. 25 - Biofilm: A slippery coating of microorganisms that can develop in poorly sanitized pools and spas.
  • Page 49: Spa Chemicals Glossary

    SPA CHEMICALS GLOSSARY 1 - Alkalinity Up: The total alkalinity of your pool water should be between 80-140 PPM. A proper alkalinity will help buffer your pool water against sudden changes in pH. Every 2.5 tablespoons of Alkalinity Up will raise your alkalinity by 10 PPM in a pool hold- ing 500 gallons of water.
  • Page 50: Maintaining The Proper Ph

    7 - pH Up: The effects of low pH can be rapid sanitizer loss, eye and skin irritation, expedited corrosion of metals, as well as staining through- out the spa. pH up can be purchased from your dealer in either liquid or solid granular form.
