Why Water Maintenance is Important in a Spa 1. 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 spa or a scale build up inside the equipment. Colored or cloudy water, and possible corrosion of plumbing and fittings may also occur. 2. Heat: Heat causes much quicker evaporation and also will cause minerals and metals to precipitate out of solution. 3. Air: Dust and airborne dirt particles are introduced into the spa. 4. Environment: The environment surrounding the spa can also impact the water quality. Items such as pollen, grass, sand, dirt, lawn fertilizer, airborne dust, insects, leaves, and pets can all affect the water quality of the spa. Remember: The maintenance routines set forth in this manual may need to be adjusted depending on how much the spa is being used and requirements set forth by the local authority having jurisidiction. 35
