Care Free Water Conditioner (900g)

Startup Procedure (Fresh Water Fill)

Prevent Staining and Scaling:

At the initial fill, use Eliminate #1 to counteract staining and scaling from minerals in the water, if necessary.

Testing Water Quality:

Use 6 Way Water Test Strips to check the levels of your hot tub water:

• Free available Chlorine: 3-5 ppm
• pH: 7.2 - 7.8
• Total Alkalinity: 100-120 ppm
• Calcium Hardness: 150-200 ppm

Sanitization:

Start by adding an approved sanitizer like Care Free Boost to the hot tub. Follow the specific usage directions on the sanitizer product. Make sure the hot tub’s circulation system is running when you add the sanitizer.

Adding CARE FREE™:

Dissolve 74g of CARE FREE™ per 1000 liters of hot tub water. Add it directly into the circulating water near the center of the hot tub.

1. Initial Maintenance:
2. After 48 hours, rinse the filter cartridge thoroughly with water.
3. Re-test the water to ensure the Free available Chlorine level is between 3-5 ppm or that the Total Chlorine reading is appropriate, using a test kit.

Regular Maintenance

Weekly Care:

• Add 74g of CARE FREE™ per 1000 liters of hot tub water once a week for typical usage.
• Use an approved sanitizer such as CARE FREE BOOST™ weekly, according to the label instructions.

Circulation and Entry:

Allow the hot tub to circulate for at least 15 minutes after adding chemicals before entering.

Ongoing Testing:

Conduct weekly tests with a test strip to ensure the Free available Chlorine remains at 3-5 ppm or that the Total Chlorine is at an acceptable level.
