Bought a Swim Spa? Here’s How to Keep It Sparkling!
Congratulations on your new swim spa! Here are some simple tips and tricks to help you maintain crystal-clear water.
- Clean and Replace Filters
- Rinse your filters every week and replace them once a year. Dirty filters are one of the most common causes of cloudy water.
- Run the Filtration Cycle
- Set your swim spa to filter for at least 12 hours a day. Proper circulation keeps your water moving and helps prevent algae and debris from settling.
- Test and Balance Weekly
- Check your water chemistry every week by using a test strip or bringing a sample into the store. Unbalanced water can cause cloudy water, algae growth, skin and eye irritation, foaming, and other issues.
- Replace Frog @Ease Cartridges
- Blue Mineral Cartridge: lasts up to 4 months
- Silver SmartChlor Cartridge: lasts about 1 month (or until it flips over)
- Drain and Refill Regularly
- Every 6-12 months, drain, clean, and refill your swim spa. Over time, dissolved chemicals and contaminants build up and affect water clarity.
