Went through a few pages dating back a while and noticed there was no real help guide or questions about using a spa for the first time users out there (me).
As a complete novice I have no idea where to start. I bought a house with a spa and want to start using it, as do the kids.
So I will be going down to my local Pool and Spa place to ask a few questions and post the results here. If anyone has anything that can help point me in the right direction I would be greatful.
At this stage this is what I have been told:
- Initially the water should be tested twice a week when using the spa for the first time. After that, once a week should suffice
- pH of water and Alkalinity need to be tested.
- Don't leave the water stagnant. The filter must run between 3-4 hours a day, this includes while you are in it.
- pH needs to be between 7.4-7.6
- Alkaline between 125-150
