WATER CHEMISTRY TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW Before jumping into Water Maintenance, here are some terms to help you. PARTS PER MILLION (PPM): This is a form of measurement used in most pool or swim spa chemical readings. Best described as any one million like items of equal size and make up, next to one unlike item, but of equal size.
Page 25
WATER CHEMISTRY TERMS YOU SHOULD KNOW SANITIZERS: Germs and bacteria enter the water from the environment and the human body; a sanitizer keeps the water balanced and safe to use. Either chlorine or bromine can be used as a sanitizer to create a healthy water environment. A.
WHY ARE CHEMICALS IMPORTANT IN A SWIM SPA EVAPORATION: As water evaporates, only pure water evaporates, leaving the salts, minerals, metals, and any unused chemicals behind. Adding water adds more salts, minerals, and metals. In time, the water can become saturated with these dissolved solids and can cause stains or scale to form on the walls of the swim spa or a scale build up inside the equipment.
WATER MAINTENANCE – RECOMMENDED RANGES WATER CHEMISTRY GUIDE Before treating your water, refer to the Model Specifications section of this manual for the correct gallons of your swim spa, to ensure you are adding the correct amount of chemicals. The concentration of active ingredients in swim spa chemicals varies by manufacturer, so always consult chemical manufacturer's instructions.
Your swim spa should be filled with fresh tap water using a Pre-filter, which can be obtained from your local Master Spas dealer. This Pre-filter will help remove many of the minerals existing in the water, which will make adjusting the water balance easier after a new fill. Never use more then 50% softened water when filling the swim spa.
WATER MAINTENANCE – SCHEDULE WATCH HOW-TO VIDEOS: masterspas.com/video-tutorials BEFORE EACH USE Test the swim spa water for proper sanitation levels and adjust accordingly to the proper levels outlined in the Water Chemistry Guide, found in the Water Maintenance – Recommended Ranges section.

• Always use an approved insulating swim spa cover by Master Spas to cover your swim spa when not in use, especially in outdoor installations where the swim spa is exposed to weather conditions and sun.
Page 32
REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES WATCH HOW-TO VIDEOS: masterspas.com/video-tutorials NOTE: These maintenance procedures are the responsibility of the swim spa owner to perform. These procedures are not covered by the swim spa warranty. CLEANING JETS The majority of jets in your swim spa can individually be turned on/off.

Do not soak EcoPur® element in a filter cleaner. The EcoPur® element should only be rinsed with fresh, clean water if necessary. Check with your Master Spas dealer for details on cleaning and/or filter replacement recommendations.
Page 35
REGULAR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES WATCH HOW-TO VIDEOS: masterspas.com/video-tutorials NOTE: These maintenance procedures are the responsibility of the swim spa owner to perform. These procedures are not covered by the swim spa warranty. CLEANING THE CLEAR ACRYLIC DIVIDER (Momentum) • The surface should be first flushed with clean water to remove loose abrasive particles. The clear acrylic sheet should then be gently sponged with a mild soap/water solution and finally rinsed with clean water.
Page 36
These procedures are not covered by the swim spa warranty. CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL Master Spas uses stainless steel in a number of our swim spas. Its lasting beauty and resistance to corrosion make it an excellent material for handrails and jets faces. With the proper care it will keep its luster for many years.
Page 37
Always cover your swim spa when not in use with an approved insulating swim spa cover by Master Spas. Keep the swim spa cover on to minimize heat loss during heating of the swim spa between uses (but not while it is being used). This will greatly reduce energy consumption and will cause swim spa water to heat more rapidly.

Swim spa installation is simple when properly planned. It is important that you read the following information carefully and consult with your Master Spas dealer. 1. ACCESS: The actual dimensions of your new swim spa will determine the amount of space that is needed in moving the swim spa from curbside to its final installation area.

GUIDELINES FOR PARTIALLY OR FULLY RECESSED INSTALLATION Swim spas manufactured by Master Spas are designed to be installed in a variety of settings. One of which is installing below grade. Should a swim spa be installed below the level of the site drainage system (below grade), a system for preventing water collecting and pooling must be designed based on the requirements of the local authority having jurisdiction.

Due to the nature of water flow and hydro-therapy pumps, please be advised that air locking of pumps may occur. Master Spas has taken measures to reduce the possibility of this, but it still may occur, especially after refilling a swim spa. This is not a service covered under warranty and service charges may apply.
