MANAGING ACTIVE OXYGEN
|
|
Active Oxygen is a non Chlorine or Bromine system that is easy to use and particularly suitable for use in inflatable spas or for those with particularly sensitive skin or allergies.
The active sanitising component of Active Oxygen water treatment is potassium monopersulphate.

Commissioning a New Hot Tub on Active Oxygen
|
When commissioning your new hot tub you should use an initial dose of Chlorine to ensure that any contamination originating from the manufacturing process or factory wet tests is irradicated prior to use. You should fill the tub and apply Chlorine granules to achieve a level of 20 ppm and maintain that level for 2 hours. Following this process you can obviously drain and re-fill your spa, should you wish. Alternatively it is perfectly safe to wait until the measured chlorine level has reduced to 5 ppm or below and then proceed with application of the Active Oxygen system as described below.
In order to use Active Oxygen to sanitize you spa on a regular basis you'll need to perform the following steps: |
Daily:
Add 1 Bayroklar Spa Tablet daily, and an extra tablet depending on the size of your spa one hour prior to bathing. It is better to add the tablets via a floating dispenser.
One hour after application of the tablets use an Active Oxygen test kit or test strips to ensure that the potassium monopersulphate concentration in the water is in the range 5.0 - 10.0 mg / litre (ppm).
NB: the pottasium monopersulphate concentration should not fall below 5 mg / litre while the tub is in use. |
Weekly:
Test and adjust the water balance, if necessary.
Re-apply the Bayroplus Spa -A Combination liquid at the dosage recommended on the bottle.
Shock the water weekly (or fortnightly if you rarely use your hot tub use) to remove dissolved organic contaminants such as perspiration, body oil or make-up. You can shock the water with a double dose of O2 tablets if you wish, but use of a chlorine-based powdered shock, such as a 1-shock, will be more effective and so will extend the period between water changes. It is also a good idea to shock after any period of very heavy use or if children have been in the tub.
Clean your filters weekly as described below. |
| At Each, 3 Monthly, Water Change... |
Clean the Plumbing:
Add half a bottle of Spa Flush or an alternative plumbing cleaner to your existing tub water and turn on all jets and pumps for at least 30 minutes. Remove the filter(s) during this process if you are able to run your pumps without the filters in place. It’s preferable to leave the plumbing cleaner to work overnight if possible.
Drain the Tub:
Use a non-scouring pad to wipe away any deposits left on the shell as the water drains. For significantly dirty spas use a specialist spa surface cleaner. DO NOT use any household cleaners.
Clean the Filter(s):
Rinse any debris from between the pleats under a running tap, or use a Water Wand on your garden hose. Then soak them overnight in a suitable container using a powdered filter cleaner, then rinse thoroughly.
Allow your filter(s) to dry naturally before replacing them in the tub. This is important because the filter material will last much longer if it is allowed to thoroughly dry between uses. Filters can take a very long time to dry so it’s a good idea to keep a spare set and to rotate them each time you clean them.
Refill the tub with clean water.
Balance the Water:
Test the water using active oxygen test strips and adjust the Total Alkalinity and pH , using the directions on the water balance product containers:
the Total Alkalinity should be within the range: 80 - 160 ppm
the pH should be within the range: 7.0 – 7.4
the Total Hardness should be in the range: 250 - 500 ppm
You should first adjust the Total Alkalinity, then when that is in the correct range adjust the pH and finally the Total Hardness. You must persevere until you get the correct balance because the chlorine won't work effectively if the balance is outside the required range.
Shock the Water:
Use a chlorine-based powdered shock, such as a 1-Shock, to shock the water and run the pumps with the cover off for at least an hour.
Apply an initial dose of Active Oxygen Liquid at the dosage recommended on the bottle. |
