Cleaning Your Spa with Citri-Clean
(if you use Bromine, Chlorine or Nature 2)
1. 6 days before you drain: Turn on pumps and slowly
sprinkle Citri-Clean into skimmer area. Use 10 oz. for every 250 gallons
of water.
2. Daily: Open all jets. Run on high frequently for 5
– 7 days. Run air blowers for a minute or two. The water will get
hazy (not crystal clear) to cloudy (cannot see through the water) as Citri-Clean
cleans your spa. You may use the spa unless you have high levels of chemicals
in the water.
3. Drain the spa through the hose you use to fill your spa, to clean the
hose.
4. Use “Clean Shower” or any other non-foaming bathroom cleaner
to clean the shell.
5. While draining, remove the filter and place the hose in the filter
inlet to force clean water through the plumbing.
6. Rinse and drain the rinse water, then wipe down the inside of the spa.
7. Rinse filter with high-pressure nozzle on hose before putting it back
in the spa.
Every
Time You Fill Your Spa with New Water
DO NOT WAX YOUR SPA!
Day 1:
1. Fill spa with municipal water from a clean hose.
2. Place hose in filter area while filling to flood plumbing with new
water and prevent air bubbles from getting trapped in the lines. Air in
plumbing can prevent the pump from circulating the water.
3. Shock new water with 15ppm chlorine, (3 oz. bleach or 2 teaspoons
spa chlorine granules for every 100 gallons of water), to destroy
chloramines, algae and tannins. This amount of chlorine/bleach SHOULD
take 3 full days to go away. If on Day 2 or Day 3 there is no odor
of chlorine/bleach, add ½ the original dosage to the water.
If the chlorine/bleach goes away to quickly, when you add Le Naturel
Spa, you may get a green tint or musty odor after a few days.
4. Turn on heater and circulation pump until spa reaches temperature.
You may now use your spa, though the chlorine will be very noticeable.
Day 4:
When the chlorine is less than 1 ppm (you can’t smell it):
1. Remove filter(s) from skimmer of spa. If spa has a pool type filter
that must be disassembled, and the filter is clean, leave it in and skip
step 2.
2. Turn on circulating pump. Turn off air injectors to reduce foaming.
3. Pour one full bottle of Le Naturel Spa into skimmer area for all spas
up to 450 gallons; 1 bottle for every 500 gallons in larger spas.
4. Allow at least 4 hours for Le Naturel Spa to fully dissolve into the
hot water before replacing filter or circulating water through filter.
ENJOY!
If water becomes hazy
(not crystal clear) with the first Le Naturel Spa, it means another Citri-Clean
purge is needed at the end of that bottle.
If
You Use Baqua Spa:
Drain spa, refill, and go to CLEANING YOUR SPA WITH CITRI-CLEAN section.
If
You're Using Well Water (or if water is very hard and
high in minerals):
Day 2:
Adjust pH
to between 7 and 8, alkalinity 60 to 280.
Day 3:
Add Citri-Clean to prevent stain or scale problems.
NORMAL MAINTENANCE
Daily: Run pumps for 15 minutes or longer and air blowers
for 1 minute or more.
Every two months:
1) Rinse filter clean with high-pressure nozzle on garden hose.
2) With filter out, add 1 full bottle of Le Naturel Spa.
3) Wait 4 hours before replacing filter, for the treatment to dissolve
into the water.
Drain spa after using 6 bottles of Le Naturel Spa, following instructions
above.
Spas of 200
gallons or less:
Start with one full bottle every time you fill with fresh water. Add ½
bottle every month. Drain every 4 to 6 months.
