Draining and Refilling

Regular draining and refilling is a n part of spa maintenance. Over time, the water absorbs and dissolves minerals, chemicals and other soluble materials, this leads to an increase in the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level which in turn leads to dull lifeless looking water, reduced chemical efficiency and generally a spa that is problematic and difficult to maintain. Your SpaGuard Dealer can perform a TDS test to determine when it is time to replace your spa water.
As a general guide you can use the formula below to determine how often your spa should be drained and refilled:
Spa litres / daily bathers / 12 = days between draining and refilling
Example: 1,200 litres / 2 daily bathers / 12 = 50 days
What you need to do:

Use the above calculation or your SpaGuard Dealers advice on how often the spa should be emptied and refilled with fresh water.
Empty the spaClean all the spa’s surfaces with SpaGuard Surface Cleaner.
Refill spa with fresh water.
Before beginning chemical treatments take a water sample to your SpaGuard Dealer for full analysis.
Add the recommended SpaGuard products as described on your personalised water analysis printout.
