Water Care Guide
Keeping the water in your outdoor whirlpool clean isn't difficult if you follow a simple routine. This guide walks you through everything you need for healthy, crystal-clear water.
This guide provides general information only. Always follow the manufacturer manual for your specific model and the instructions on your chosen water-care products. Water chemistry depends on local water conditions and usage.
1
Why Proper Water Care Matters
Clean, balanced water protects the skin, keeps the whirlpool hygienic, prevents scale and corrosion, and ensures the massage pumps work efficiently. Good maintenance also reduces long-term operating costs.
Chemical Safety Checks
- Always follow the instructions on the chemical packaging and your manufacturer manual.
- Never mix chemicals together. Add products to water separately.
- Store chemicals out of reach of children and away from heat/moisture.
- If irritation, strong odor, or unusual water conditions occur, stop use and consult a professional.

Weekly Water Care Routine
- Test the water 2–3 times per week (pH 7.0–7.6, balanced alkalinity)
- Adjust pH if values are outside the recommended range
- Maintain disinfectant levels according to manufacturer instructions
- Shock-treat once a week to remove organic residues and keep water fresh
- Run circulation for 15–20 minutes after adding any product
4
Filter Care
- Rinse filters every 1–2 weeks

Rinse filters, reduce cosmetic/oil buildup with a clarifier
Strong odour
Disinfectant too low—shock treatment required
Scale deposits
pH too high—adjust down
