BALANCE WATER
(ADJUSTING THE PH & TOTAL ALKALINITY WITH POPPIT ONE-STEP WATER PREP)
Based on the reading on the strip you can determine how much of the POPPIT ONE STEP
WATER PREP to add. See the chart below for how much to add. When adding Poppits OneStep Water Prep to spa water, pour it slowly into the spa with the jets turned on.

Circulate water for 2 – 3 hours before moving to Step 3.
NOTE: Generally town water supply has some level of alkalinity whereas rain water (tank water)
has none. Check levels again next day (please note, the strips read pH slightly lower than actual
and so if reading for pH is at the lower end of the scale this is acceptable).

SANITISE YOUR SPA
(ADDING POPPIT SANOSIL POOL & SPA SANITISER)
For Spas up to 3000 litres add 300ml/1000 litres and circulate for 30 minutes. For Swim
Spas add 200ml/1000 litres and circulate for 60minutes.

Spa & Swim Spa Water Maintenance
Care for your Spa and for the environment!
It stands to reason that – the better we maintain the water, the longer the
drained and replaced.
save time, save money and save your sanity!
We recommend that your maintenance program include a simple routine
check on the key areas of water management.
1. Water Balance
Check at least once a week that the pH is 7-7.8; alkalinity 60 - 150. If you

remain constant for the life of the water in the spa.
2. Sanitiser Level
Weekly and before use ensure that the PER reading on the strip (Sanitiser) is 100ppm. If not adjust by adding
the recommended dose as per the Test Strip Vial label for the level you read. This will restore the level. Fitting
an auto doser will make this more convenient for you. Ask your local stockist.
