Why does my spa water smell bad?

A foul odor from your spa water usually means that you need to shock the water with chlorine.  A dosage of 2 oz. per 500 gallons will usually do the trick. You should always first check and adjust pH if necessary, then add the chlorine dosage.

Is pH important?

Yes, the pH balance of your spa water is VERY important. It can dramatically impact the life of your spa and its equipment. If the pH is left low or acidic for any length of time, the water will become corrosive and can begin to damage metal and even plastic parts. High pH can lead to other problems such as, cloudy water or even calcium or scale build up on the spa surface

How often should I change my spa water?

Your spa should be drained and refilled about every 4 months. This is a good time to clean the interior surface with an approved spa surface cleaner, clean or replace the filter and replace your Nature 2 cartridge
