Usage & Care Guide
Learn how to use and care for your hot tub and swim spa with Pure N Easy® for optimal results.
Hot Tub Instructions
1. Fill and Warm Up:
- Fill your hot tub and warm it up to 60 degrees or warmer.
- Check and balance the pH to 7.2 - 7.8.
- Note: Always use a rinsed-out hose whenever you fill up your hot tub or swim spa. Allow the water to run for a full minute before filling.
2. Add Pure N Easy:
- Add 5 oz per 100 gallons of Pure N Easy.
- Relax and soak in 20 minutes. Optional: Add a spoon of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) upon soaking.
- After your first soak, and on occasion, add a generic non-chlorine shock oxidizer for hot tubs according to bottle directions.
3. Next Day, Spray the Filters:
- Spray the filters after the first and second days.
- Then, spray monthly or bi-monthly.
4. Enjoy 4-6 months
Note: An optional boost of 1 oz per 100 gallons around the 3rd month up to the 6th month will extend the drain refill times even longer.
Swim Spa Instructions
(2000 gallons approx.)
1. Initial Cleaning:
- Swim spas that has had nasty water or has been left dry for weeks or more, clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions (e.g., fill, purge, and sanitize the lines, drain, and refill).
- Note: Always use a clean hose whenever you fill up your hot tub or swim spa. Allow the water to run for a full minute before filling.
2. Fill, Heat, Balance pH, and Add Pure N Easy:
- Once your swim spa has warmed to approximately 60-70 degrees F, balance the pH to 7.2 - 7.8.
- Add one bottle of Pure N Easy on day one.
- On day two, spray off filters and add one bottle.
- On day three, spray off filters and add one bottle.
- On day four, spray off filters.
- After that, clean filters weekly or bi-weekly.
3. Spray the Filters:
- Why spray the filters every day for the first four days? Swim spas have a smaller ratio of filters to gallons of water than hot tubs, so check filters often.
- Cloudy water usually means clogged filters. Clean filters and use a non-chlorine shock oxidizer.
4. Enjoy 9 -12 months
Notes & Tips
These helpful tips will keep your hot tub or swim spa in top shape and your water sparkling clean.
Flocculation and Silt
When treated, Pure N Easy usually creates brownish silt in the water. This is a normal byproduct of the purification process known as flocculation. This fine silt is organic and harmless. The hot tub filter will remove 98% of the silt from the water. Allow 24-72 hours for the hot tub filter to completely remove the fine silt.
Frequent Cleaning for Swim Spas
Swim spas have a lot more water than hot tubs, so their filters might need to be cleaned more often.
Slippery Surfaces
Wipe any slippery surfaces that develop with a washcloth or sponge to release the flocculated silt back into the water to be filtered out. The filter will remain tan, but you are good to go once it's sprayed.
Water Appearance
Only chemically bleached water is totally crystal clear in appearance. Pure N Easy contains the full spectrum of ionic minerals that may appear greenish or tan based on the natural mineral reaction with your water source minerals. Some hot tub brands actually have copper in their filter, which adds to the color. It's common to have greenish water. The deeper the water, the darker the color when looking into the tub. You could say we are literally a 100 percent natural green product.
Non-Chlorine Shock Oxidizer
After heavy use, add a generic non-chlorine shock oxidizer (potassium) for hot tubs when you get out. Otherwise, if you keep soap, hair spray, makeup, etc., out of the water, you may not need to add non-chlorine shock more than a couple of times in 4-6 months.
"Okay to Soak In" Water Test
An easy "okay to soak in" water test before use is to cup your hands, smell the water, or use a drinking glass. If the water looks good and smells good, it is good. Bad water smells bad. Never soak in bad water.
Epsom Salt
For tired bones, add one or two spoons of Epsom salt which is (pharmaceutical-grade magnesium sulfate) when entering your hot tub.
