Hot Tub Maintenance Checklist

POSTED Aug 19, 2020
Start-Up
  • While hot tub is filling, add initial dose (375 ml per 1,000 L) of DazzleTM
  • Stain & Scale 1 to cold water. Once full, start pump, operate with the aeration off and commence heating.
  • Bring a water sample to your DazzleTM Retailer for water balance recommendations.
  • Balance water according to your DazzleTM Retailer’s recommendations.
  • Allow water to circulate for 2 hours.
  • Apply DazzleTM Amaze per label directions (2 caps per 1,000 L). Ensure that the pump and filter are operating and leave the cover off for a minimum of one hour after application. Allow water to circulate for at least 15 minutes before proceeding to next step.
  • Add initial dose of DazzleTM Botanical Cleanse (3 caps per 1,000 L). Pour around the edges of the hot tub with the pump operating and the aeration off.
  • Avoid adding DazzleTM Botanical Cleanse when the sanitizer level is above 5 ppm.
  • Apply chlorine or bromine to the hot tub. Use DazzleTM Bromine Granules or Chlorine Granules to initially establish the residual. Fill your tablet dispenser with enough DazzleTM Bromine Tablets or Mini Chlorinating Tablets to maintain a continuous level of 3.0 – 5.0 ppm through the week.
  • Add initial dosage of DazzleTM Performance Plus (200 g per 1,000 L). Apply through the skimmer or in front of the suction plate with the pump in operation and the aeration off.
  • Add initial dosage of DazzleTM Nature Sheen (20 ml per 1,000 L.). Apply with the pump in operation and the aeration off. Run filter continuously until water clears. DazzleTM Nature Sheen will agglomerate particulate into masses large enough to be filtered out. Watch filter closely and clean as required.
As Required
Test sanitizer and pH level with DazzleTM Test Strips. Add DazzleTM Bromine Granules or Chlorine Granules to boost the sanitizer level should it fall below 3.0 ppm. Always maintain the bromine/chlorine reading between 3.0 – 5.0 ppm. The pH level should be maintained at 7.4 – 7.6.
Weekly
  • Add regular weekly dosage of DazzleTM Stain & Scale 2 (1 cap per 1,000 L) to protect against metal staining and scale formation.
  • Oxidize water with DazzleTM Amaze (2 caps per 1,000 L) by broadcasting over water surface. Note: heavy bather load may require more frequent applications. Allow water to circulate for at least 15minutes and leave the cover off for minimum 1 hour. Wait 15 minutes before moving to next step.
  • Digest and remove organics with DazzleTM Botanical Cleanse (3 caps per 1,000 L).
  • Re-fill your tablet dispenser with enough DazzleTM Bromine Tablets or Mini Chlorinating Tablets to maintain a continuous level of 3.0 – 5.0 ppm through the week.
Add weekly dosage of:
DazzleTM Performance Plus (6½ caps per 1,000 L).
DazzleTM Nature Sheen (½ cap per 1,000 L).
  • Brush, skim and vacuum. Remove filter cartridge and rinse with water from garden hose.
  • Clean water line with DazzleTM Tub Cleanse, if necessary.
Monthly
  • Have water tested at your DazzleTM Retailer. Adjust pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness as required.
  • Clean cartridge with DazzleTM Filter Cleanse as per label directions.
Draining
  • Clean entire hot tub including plumbing lines with DazzleTM Drain Prep. Add as per label directions the day before draining.
  • Drain hot tub and clean surfaces with DazzleTM Tub Cleanse.
  • Clean cartridge with DazzleTM Filter Cleanse as per label directions.
  • Clean cover with DazzleTM Cover Cleanse & Protect as per label directions.
Note: Always add products directly to hot tub water with the pump running and the aeration off. Allow enough time between applications for the products to fully disperse in the water unless a specific time is given.
