Step Two: The Natural Solution 3 Month Hot Tub Water Treatment.
1. After you have filled the tub with the Carbon Prefilter and heated it up to normal operating temperature add 1 bottle of The Natural Solution 3 Month Hot Tub Water Treatment for tubs over 250 gallons to 500 gallons, add 1/2 bottle of 3 Month Hot Tub Water Treatment for tubs under 250 gallons.
2. Check and adjust your pH if needed. Check your pH and alkalinity occasionally to make sure it is still in ideal ranges. Tip: always turn you jets on high for at least 30 seconds before testing hot tub water. You want the pH to be from 7.8 to 8.2 if it is out of these ranges you will need to adjust it. To adjust your pH weather it needs to go up or down. Add 2 tablespoons of pH up or down, turn you jets on high, wait 1 hour and test agian, if it is still not where it needs to be add another 2 tablespoons of pH up or down and wait 1 hour and test again. Do Not exceed 3 application of pH up or down in a day, sometimes it takes awhile to react. Keep adding two tablespoon so pH up or down, waiting an hour and testing until you reach the desired level of pH 7.8 to 8.2, once you have it in that range The Natural Solution will automatically stabilize it there and you shouldn't have to mess with until you drain your tub again.

3. Clean your filters once a month in the All Natural Filter Cleaner.
4. ENJOY the easiest, lowest maintenance, all natural enzyme hot tub treatment.
SAMPLE WEEKLY MAINTENANCE:
1. Hose your filter off really good. Use a hose nozzle like the Filter Flosser with a strong jet. This is the best thing you can do for the maintenance of the hot tub. Do this at least once a week. I do mine while I'm sitting in the tub, just drag the hose over and turn your heater down so the pump turns off, pull your filter and hang it over the edge while you hose it off, real easy and only takes a couple of minutes.
2. Shock as needed. ( I use 2 teaspoons of 99% Dichlor for 500 gallons of water. After putting in the 2 teaspoons open your hot tub cover and turn your jets on high, this will help it gas out of the water really fast so your not sitting in any chemicals when you get in your hot tub.
3. What I do is pick a day of the week when you want to do your maintenance (developing a routine is really important). If you do the maintenance in the MORNING, first I hose off my filters of with the Filter Flosser, and add 2 teaspoons 99% dichlor, leave the hot tub cover open and turn you jets on high, the chlorine will gas out in a couple of hours and is ready for use that evening. If you do the maintenance at night when you get out of the tub just hose the filter off and shock with 2 teaspoons of 99% dichlor, then close the lid and the chlorine will be gassed out the following evening.
7. Clean your Filters once a month with the All Natural Filter Cleaner.

Hints & Tips
Helpful Tips for using the Water Treatment & Conditioner
1. Fragrances... are usually used to mask chemical odors, and a lot of these have chemicals in them as well. The over use of fragrances may cause foaming and/or cloudy water. If this happens shock with 2 teaspoons of 99% Dichlor.
2. If you ever experience a stale odor coming from your spa water, this simply means the Natural Solution has found contaminants and is working harder. Sometimes this order might be coming from the Cover or Headrests, wipe these down with a diluted bleach solution and an old rag. If this doesn't solve the problem shock the water with 2 teaspoons of 99% Dichlor. If the problem persists it might need a strong shock, use 2 to 4 ounces of 99% dichlor and that should take care of it.
3. The Natural Solution is compatible with ozonators, chlorine and bromine. We highly recommend using only 99% Sodium Dichlor. This particular type of chlorine is the only one which will totally gas out of your spa water! Don't use bromine!!!
4. Cloudy water may be caused by a large number of bathers, lotions, oils, deodorants, sunscreens or other products used on the skin or soap residues in bathing suits. If you get cloudy water hose your filters off really good with the Filter Flosser, if this doesn't take care of it shock with 2 teaspoons of 99% Dichlor. If it persists shock with 2-4 ounces of 99% dichlor. Be patient. The spa water will clear up and does not have to be drained if the water is cloudy; the Natural Solution just needs some time to do its job.
5. If your spa water has a high metal content and/or if your water source is from a well we highly recommend the use of a Carbon Pre-Filter. The prefilter will filter out most metals from the water. If you still have high metal you can use a metal b gone product from you local hot tub store.
6. Rinse your filters at least once week with the Filter Flosser. The filter is the most important part of your hot tub. Clean your filters at least once a month with the All Natural Filter Cleaner. I highly recommend getting an extra set of filters so you can use the rotation method of cleaning your filters. This way you will always have a clean filter when you need to clean the one in the hot tub. Just pull the dirty filter out of the hot tub, hose of thoroughly with the Filter Flosser, and soak it in the All Natural Filter Cleaner. Put your clean filter in the hot tub. When the dirty filter is done soaking pull it out, hose it off, and put it on a shelf to dry, ready for the next time you need to change them out. This method makes cleaning your filters much easier.
7. Foam is almost always a result of soap left in bathing suits. You can use the foam down from the hot tub store, but usually all you need to do is skim it off and rinse your filters a couple times. Don't use soap on your skin when bathing before entering your spa. This will introduce phosphates to your water and will cause foaming as well.
If you have any questions or problems please don’t hesitate to give me a call.
Thank you very much.
