Start Up Procedures



These apply to when you are filling your tub from empty:

1. Ensure that the shell of your hot tub has been wiped clean using Eco One Shell and Liner cleaner

2. Remove the Filter and place the hose in the filter compartment. The reason to fill the tub through the filter, is to push out any air that may be in the plumbing.

3. Fill the hot tub - bring the water level to above the top jets

4. Put in the new, Clean filter

5. Turn on the breaker and allow the water temperature to heat up to desired temperature.

6. Add between 2 and 3 tablespoons of Di-Chlor/Chlorine Concentrate or Bromine Concentrate. If you are using bromine - add 3 pucks of bromine into your floater and adjust the flow according to demand. It will take you a few days to figure this out.

7. Add approximately 150 grams of Alkalinity increaser. Always test Alkalinity before adding any increaser. (TEST the water before adjusting the Alkalinity)

8. In 3 separate doses - waiting at least 45 minutes between each addition - add a total of between 300 and 450g of Calcium hardness increaser - Only add 150g at a time.

9. Add Eco One Monthly dose.

10. Test the water using your test strips. You water should be balanced and sanitized. You may need to make small adjustments to the pH, Alkalinity and Calcium. This will depend on your source water.

**Your Tub will now be balanced! You may need to make some very slight adjustments.
