Starting or Converting a Spa or Hot tub to Pristine Blue®

Drain & Start with fresh water

First Day - ALWAYS USE THE MEASURING CUP WHEN ADDING PRODUCTS!

  • Start with a clean spa.
  • For improved results, use the Pristine Fill pre-filter to remove mineral & other contaminants before they get in your spa.
  • KNOW THE SPA’S VOLUME.  Almost all “problems” arise from the fact that spa owners don’t know the proper gallonage of their ho tub. 
  • Make sure the water is in balance.  Water balance in a Pristine Blue® spa is a little different than in most spas.  Maintain these Pristine Blue® levels for the best in product effectiveness and efficiency.  The levels you need to attain are:
    pH - 7.2 to 7.6
    Total Alkalinity – 50 to 90 ppm (this is the most important difference)
    Calcium Hardness – 175 to 275 ppm
    SpaGuard® Water Balancers and SpaGuard® Cleaners such as pH Increaser, Decreaser, Total Alkalinity Increaser, Spa Sentry, Calcium Hardness Increaser are 100% compatible with Pristine Blue®.  All cleaners & accessory chemicals such as Spa Silken are also 100% compatible.
  • DO NOT CONTINUE UNTIL THE WATER IS BALANCED!

  • Add 10 milliliters of Pristine Check® per 100 gallons of water. Circulate 2 to 4 hours.

  • Shock with 5 milliliters of Pristine Extra® per 100 gallons. Circulate 2 to 4 hours.

  • Clean the Filter thoroughly.

  • Add 5 milliliters of Pristine Blue® per 100 gallons of water. Run filter one hour.

After each use of the spa, shock with (2 oz) of Pristine Power per 500 gallons.

For information on Converting a Biguanide (BaquaSpa® or Soft Soak®) Spa to Pristine Blue®, DRAIN THE WATER

Important Note:  DO NOT ADD ANY PRISTINE BLUE FOR THE NEXT 2 (TWO) WEEKS.  MAINTAIN pH 7.2 TO 7.6.  After 2 weeks, check Pristine Blue® level and top-up as needed.


 Continue with regular Pristine Blue® Maintenance.

Every two weeks:

  • Balance the water.
       Total Alkalinity 30-90 ppm (DO NOT allow the Total Alkalinity to go over this level)
        pH 7.2-7.6

  • Test PristineBlue® (copper) level and add PristineBlue® according to the chart below.

  • Add 5 milliliters of Pristine Clean® per 100 gallons of spa water. (2 oz. per 500 gallons)

  • Add 5 milliliters of Pristine Clear® per 100 gallons of spa water. (2 oz. per 500 gallons)

Every Month:

  • Shock with 5 milliliters of Pristine Extra® per 100 gallons.

  • Spray the underside of your spa or hot tub cover with Pristine Mist to prevent odor & discoloration
