Whoever did the editing on this video needs a raise
Great step-by-step video--Thanks!!! We have a small 130-gallon spa and didn't want to over do it on the chemicals.
I just finished watching a few other videos on how to start up a spa. You are the first to talk about bromine. It was recommended to me to only use bromine in a spa. I guess there are contradicting opinions on this. Thanks for your input. Video was helpful.
Just got a job inspecting homes and taking care of hot tubs... Thanks for the tips!
Great video! Thanks. Appreciate the light-hearted approach to this complex topic lol!
This is EXCELLENT!! THX SO MUCH❤❤❤ new subscriber! I'm new at this whole hot tub thing:)
very good video...now regretting I didn't get a master spa verse another brand!
I found this vid after I shocked (Dichlor) my hot tub of course and of course the PH levels are low. Should I start over or just test the chlorine levels after I get the PH levels right and then adjust?
Do the thereputic pumps stay on the whole 30-60m? Or just the first 5m
How can I get the alkine down
How do the strips work?
I adjusted my ph to around 7.6, then added my granulated chlorine, but didn't add the liquid calcium balancer. Can I add it once my chlorine level drops to the normal range or should I add it now? Thanks.
How long does the chlorine levels usually take to come down?
Hi Shane. I didn’t see you add anything to increase the alkalinity. Just the Ph.
I’m running into an issue with my inflatable hot tub. I’ve yet to be able to use the dang thing! Everything is way low aside from chlorine & free chlorine. They are sky high. I’ve let it run with bubbles on in the sun, there hasn’t been chlorine put in for about 10 days
I'm probably over thinking it but I don't have a degree in chemistry and math is hard haha! A bit intimidating to do all these chemicals.
Should you adjust hardness first then move on to pH?
hahah great video :)
My husband was impatient and put in 2 trichlor tablets, in a floater, before testing the ph, alkalinity or calcium hardness. Is this a problem and will we need to empty the tub and start over?
Good question! Tri-chlor tablets are not an approved sanitizer. I would empty the spa and use di-chlor granules. Tri-chlor tablets could be harmful to the spa's acrylic shell. Hope this helps! -Kayla
What testing strips did you use? Like what brand.
I use Clorox test strips. Easy to read
You showed three chemicals used to maintain the spa, are these all you need and how can I order these same three? I like the idea the chemicals are labeled "up" or "Down". I'm blond so I need simplicity. :) Thanks.
Depends on which products you use, use of tub
Hi there. Do I add the chemicals before I start heating the water or while the water is still cold?
Hi Chanel! Typically, you would add your metal sequestering agent in first and follow the directions on the bottle. Next you would check and adjust your pH and alkalinity before putting your sanitizer in. This can all be done while the spa is heating up. Hope this helps! -Kayla
How do you clean the inside of the spa?
Hi Teresa! We recommend you clean the spa shell, jets, and other controls with a soft cloth and spa shell cleaner to help remove residue and buildup on the shell surface. For mineral based buildup, white vinegar or mild scale remover products may be necessary to use with a soft cloth for removal. Rinse the cleaned surfaces with fresh water from your garden hose and wipe with a soft cloth while doing so to help remove residual cleaning agents as some may cause foaming to occur in the water once your tub is filled again. To purchase the proper spa cleaning products, consult with your local Master Spas dealer. Hope this helps! -Kayla
How often do I check and add chemicals?
PH, Alkalinity, everyday. The rest, check twice a week. Only add chemicals if your test strip tells you. Add scale control once a week as well.
Chloreeeen..!😆
Does it matter what temperature the water is before adding the chemicals?
Must be at least 20 celcius!
How often do you gotta do this?
Hi! This video is specifically for chemicals when first starting up your hot tub, for regular chemical maintenance and routine water care, we recommend you watch this video: ruclips.net/video/8L71OoVnJ2g/видео.html -Kayla
can I reuse the test strips?
We don't recommend reusing your test strips.
@@MasterSpas noticed that xd, cheers!
Do you contionuisly run the pump?... Ive yet seen a video which tells how many hrs. a day you should run one. Thanks for the video and please SOMEONE advice this ole fool.
Hi Billy! That depends on if you have a 24-hour circulation pump or if your pump 1 on low speed does the filtering. If your pump 1 does your filtering/circulating, our standard would a 4-hour filter cycle or two 2-hour cycles, but this is all dependent on the spa usage. For more help, I would advise reaching out to our customer service team by emailing customerservice@masterspas.com or calling (800) 860-7727. Hope this helps! -Kayla

Also, bromine is not good to use for anyone with thyroid issues, since bromine and bromated can depress the thyroid in people with those issues.
