Water Quality and Maintenance

PERFORMING SUPER CHLORINATION/

NON-CHLORINE SHOCK TREATMENT

A weekly or monthly super chlorination (1.5 tsp dichlor/950 liters) or

shock (4tbs mps/950 liters) may be required of your chosen sanitation

program. Increasing chlorine to 5 ppm for 24-48 hours removes

excess waste and chloramines from the water. Sodium dichlor is 6x

stronger than MPS and may be a more appropriate for those users that

experience heavy bather load conditions. Operate all jets and leave

the cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the oxidizer gas

to vent to prevent damage and discoloration to the cover and pillows

after administering a super chlorination or shock to your spa. This type

of damage is considered chemical abuse and is not covered under the

terms of the limited warranty.

IMPORTANT

: Always allow the Free Available Chlorine to fall below 5

ppm before using your spa.

DANGER: Never leave an open spa unattended, especially if there

are children present!

MONARCH WATER CARE SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)

The MONARCH water care system is comprised of the following

products:

• CLEAN SCREEN Pre-filter

• Concentrated Chlorinating Granules, Sodium Dichlor

• Chlorine-Free Oxidizer, Monopersulfate (MPS)

• High output ozone system

• Silver Ion purifier (can not be used with FROG System)

The system introduces silver ions into the spa water via erosion of

silver infused beads which inhibits bacteria growth. When combined

with MPS, or chlorine, waste is oxidized and removed from the

water. It is important to follow the recommended application and

maintenance programs outlined for each product’s use. If the spa

is being used over an extended period of time, such as a whole

afternoon or evening, additional sanitizer will be needed.

Required: Weekly Super Chlorinate/Shock the spa to reactivate the

silver ion cartridge, allow the release of silver ions, and quickly destroy

any remaining contaminants. Without this weekly shock treatment,

the silver ion cartridge may stop releasing silver ions into the water.

IMPORTANT: Use only Dichlor sanitizer. Silver is not compatible with

bromine and biguanides. Don't use a water clarifier. Clarifiers will cause

the spa water to become cloudy.

MANUAL CHLORINE (SODIUM DICHLOR)

Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends the use of MONARCH

Concentrated Chlorinating Granules (sodium dichlor) for sanitizing the

water. Sodium dichlor is preferred because it is totally soluble, dissolves

quickly, and is nearly pH neutral. The recommended Free Available

Chlorine (FAC), the amount of available chlorine sanitize the spa, 3.0-5.0

ppm.

If the FAC is too low: Increase the FAC by adding granulated sodium

dichlor.

If the FAC is too high: Allow time to pass and the FAC level will

naturally drop over time.

If the spa smells of chlorine: super chlorinate or shock the spa FAC

chlorine does not have an odor whereas combined spent chlorine

(chloramines) has a strong chlorine odor that can be eliminated by

shocking the water.

IMPORTANT: There are several forms of stabilized chlorine available

for use in spas and swimming pools. It is extremely important to choose

one specifically designed for spas. Use of an incorrect product such

as tri-chlor which has a very low pH (2.6) and dissolves too quickly in

hot water, results in extremely high levels of chlorine that WILL cause

damage to your spa. Use of a liquid or compressed bromine/chlorine

or unapproved sanitizer WILL damage your spa and is specifically not

covered under the terms of the limited warranty.

MONARCH OZONE MAINTENANCE

If reduced or no ozone bubbles are coming from the heater return

(clogged ozone injector) or no ozone, clean the injector:

1. Place 0.5 liter of white vinegar into a cup or bucket.

2. Carefully loosen the long tubing attached to the bottom of the

ozonator, located in the equipment compartment.

DANGER: Place the end of the tubing into the vinegar, making

certain that the end of the tubing sits at the bottom of the container.

3. Run the spa until all 0.5 liter of the vinegar are gone. This should

allow

an ample flow of vinegar to be run through the injector and clear the

blockage.

4. Reinstall the tubing to the bottom of the ozonator.

Water chemistry damage is not covered by the warranty. The chemical

levels and water quality in the spa are under your direct control.

With proper basic care, the spa will provide many years of hot water

relaxation. If you are unsure about any chemical or its usage in the spa,

contact your Authorized Dealer, or Watkins Manufacturing Corporation.

DO:

• Add all chemicals slowly into the filter compartment with the jet pump

operating for ten minutes.

• Use special care if using baking soda to clean either the interior or

exterior plastic surfaces.

IMPORTANT: Watkins Manufacturing Corporation DOES NOT

recommend the use of any floating chemical dispenser. Damage to

the spa shell or components caused by a floating chemical dispenser

is specifically not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.

Floating dispensers can become trapped in one area and cause an

over-sanitization or release large chunks of sanitizer that very quickly

chemically burn the shell and cover.

DON'T:

• Use compressed sanitizers.

• Use a floater type sanitization system as a low or no maintenance

solution to your spa maintenance program.

• Use a sanitizer which is not designed for spas.

• Use swimming pool (muriatic) acid to lower pH.

• Use household bleach (liquid sodium hypochlorite).

• Broadcast or sprinkle the chemicals onto the water surface. This

method may cause chemically-induced spa surface blistering (chemical

abuse).
