(Do not use the water from a water softener.) Do you have soft water? The lack of minerals in soft water can be very harsh to your spa’s equipment, causing damage to your pump and heater. Do you have hard water? The excessive minerals in hard water can cause scale build-up on spa surfaces and may corrode the equipment.  \nFor these reasons, it is essential to recognize your water type so the correct chemical adjustments are made. In “Step B-Balancing Your Spa Water”, you will be introduced to the Spa Choice® products specifically designed to correct your particular water type. These products are included with your Spa Choice® Spa Kit.  \nGo onto “Step A…Filling Your Spa”.  \n-4-  \nSTEP A…Filling Your Spa  \nYou will need:  \nSpa Choice® Metal Free  \nNow it’s time to fill your spa. If you are using a garden hose, let the water run for a few minutes before placing the hose into the spa. This will ensure that the microorganisms that build up in the hose during inactivity will not contaminate your spa. Fill the spa according to the directions recommended by your spa owner ’s manual.  \nOnce the spa is full, a sequestering agent should be added to the spa water to prevent metal staining and corrosion to your spa’s finish. Use Spa Choice® Metal Free now, and every time you fill your spa.  \n1. Add one bottle (1pint) of Spa Choice® Metal Free around the spa waterline.  \n2. Circulate the water for 30 minutes.  \nGo onto “Step B…Balancing Your Spa Water”  \n-6-  \nSTEP B…Balancing Your Spa Water  \nBalancing your spa water is a very important step to a clean spa. When your spa water is in balance, your sanitizer will perform at its optimum level, providing a clean, sanitized spa. In this step, you will be adjusting your calcium hardness level first, your total alkalinity second, and lastly, the pH.  \nCalcium Hardness  \nYou will need:  \nSpa Choice® Increase Calcium  \n-or  \nSpa Choice® Defense  \nWhen balancing your spa water, always adjust the calcium hardness level first. To determine your calcium hardness level, bring a sample of your tap water to your professional spa retailer for testing, as suggested in the first section; or you may test your water with a calcium hardness test. The ideal calcium hardness level should fall between 200 and 400 ppm.  \nHard Water: A high calcium hardness level (hard water) creates","cbCaifmelGfQQiAr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifmelGfQQiAr","pdf",3388969,24,"English","# Table of Contents\n## Before You Fill Your Spa…What You Need to Know\n## Step A…Filling Your Spa\n## Step B…Balancing Your Spa Water\n## Calcium Hardness\n## Alkalinity\n## Increasing or Decreasing Your pH\n## Step C…Sanitizing and Shocking Your Spa\n## Shock\n## Guide to Spa Maintenance\n## Spa Water Troubleshooting Guide\n## The Complete Line of Spa Choice® Products\n## Spa Safety","[{\"question\":\"Why should tap water be tested before filling the spa?\",\"answer\":\"Testing tap water helps identify whether you have soft or hard water.
