1. Drain hot tub completely. Run garden hose for 60 seconds before filling the tub with fresh tap water. (This is to help flush out any biofilm in the garden hose.)
2. Shake the bottle of AquaFinesse™ to mix the solution.
   Pour the correct amount of AquaFinesse™ (as indicated on the bottle) into the water. Do NOT overdose.
3. Turn on jets for a minimum of 2 minutes to activate the AquaFinesse™ water care system.
4. Place (1) sanitizing tablet in the slow-release dispenser, close cap, fill with water and place on top of filter (or basket).
   Check dispenser every week to make sure tablets are still intact. For tubs with functioning ozone or silver ion systems, the use of sanitizing tablets may not be required.  
5. Repeat steps 2-4 on the same day every week.
6. Clean the filter once a week to ensure total sanitation.
7. Ensure your ozone system is working properly. Perform regular maintenance of your ozone system and consult your dealer if you think it needs repair.  

Can I use AquaFinesse™ in any hot tub - old or new?
AquaFinesse™ works great with any spa or hot tub as long as the tub has an effective filtration system, removable/cleanable filters and a means of providing water circulation through the filters for at least 4 hours a day.

Can I use AquaFinesse™ in a spa with water that already has chlorine or bromine in it?
If the spa has just been emptied and refilled with fresh water, you can immediately switch to AquaFinesse™.   For a spa that has been sanitized with chlorine or bromine for more than one week, you must drain 1/3 the spa and refill it with new water before using AquaFinesse™.

How do I use AquaFinesse™?
Take one bottle from the carrying case & check the label for your recommended weekly dose.   Shake the product well & be sure to use the measuring cup to pour the proper amount of AquaFinesse™ into the spa water. Turn on the jets and leave them running for at least two minutes to fully mix the solution into your spa or hot tub water.

When used in combination with a good working ozone or silver ion system, no additional sanitizers are needed. However, the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) recommends that hot tub owners maintain a minimum level of 1.5 ppm chlorine in the spa water.   To meet these standards, we strongly suggest using the provided sanitizing tablets as directed in the slow-release dispenser.

To use the sanitizing tablets: place one AquaFinesse™ sanitizing tablet into the dispenser, secure cap and place dispenser on top of the water filter (or in the basket).   Allow the dispenser to fill with water.   Before using your tub, ensure that the dispenser is placed in the filter and working properly.  

Do I need to "shock" the spa water before starting the AquaFinesse™ system?
No, it is not necessary to "shock" your water before starting the AquaFinesse™ system.   However, there are certain situations in which we recommend a chlorine shock.   With brand new tubs, we suggest "shocking" the water after you've filled the spa for the first time.   If you also have concerns about the quality of your water supply, you can "shock" the water before starting with AquaFinesse™.

YOU MUST WAIT 4 to 6 HOURS AFTER "SHOCKING" BEFORE USING AquaFinesse™.

What do the sanitizing tablets do?
A small chlorine-based tablet is used in conjunction with our slow-release dispenser to kill all the bacteria from your tub after it's captured in the filter. The amount of residual chlorine remaining in your spa water is very minimal. This small dose significantly reduces unpleasant smells, dryness or bleaching effects typically associated with chlorine use.

NOTE:  The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals (APSP) recommends that hot tub owners maintain a minimum level of 1.5 ppm chlorine in the spa water.

I just started with AquaFinesse™ and my water is dirty and cloudy - what am I doing wrong?
Nothing! In fact it's a sign that the AquaFinesse™ is working properly to recondition your spa water and equipment. If your spa is older than six months, a considerable amount of calcium and scale buildup will be released by AquaFinesse™ and flushed into your spa *.

During this reconditioning period, we recommend that you clean your filter(s) twice a week.   This helps to ensure that clean and clear water is flowing through your hot tub. When spa is not in use, ensure that the valves, jets and water features are open and water is allowed to flow through them.   Soon your water will be soft and odor-free without feeling slimy or greasy!
*Do not enter hot tub if you cannot see the bottom of the tub.

How often should I clean the filters in my hot tub?
AquaFinesse™ works very closely with your tub's filtration system to ensure total water sanitation.   We recommend cleaning the filters twice a week for the first two weeks.   After this initial conditioning period, you should clean or rotate your filters on a weekly basis. For easier maintenance, we also recommend that you purchase back-up filters and rotate them regularly.  

What's the best way to clean the filters?
For weekly maintenance, remove the filters from the tub and rinse them completely using the garden hose.   Once a month, soak the filter(s) in a bucket using SpaGuard Filter Cleaner and rinse off filters before re-use.   Always allow the filter(s) to dry completely before reinserting them into the tub.

How often should I use AquaFinesse™ to clean my hot tub water?
Use AquaFinesse™ as directed once a week -- do NOT overdose. Set a specific day for this. The sanitizing tablet should be replaced in its dispenser as soon as it has dissolved (approximately 7 to 10 days).

What happens if I overdose my hot tub with AquaFinesse™?
If an overdose occurs, you must drain 1/3 of your hot tub water, refill with fresh water and make sure you thoroughly clean the filters before re-inserting them.   Always make sure you do not overdose.  

How often should I change the spa water?
We recommend changing your water every three to four months. You can also use our test strips to measure whether or not the water needs refreshing. Another good system is to refresh your water each time you purchase a new box of AquaFinesse™.

Is it safe to drain the water into my lawn?
Yes, AquaFinesse™ is environmentally friendly so will not damage your garden, grass or household pets.

Can I use aromatherapy products with AquaFinesse™?
Yes, as long as the products you use are crystal (such as Spazazz Escape Crystals) or salt based (Magma Onsen) and do not contain oils or other liquids.
