Instructions For Use...

IT’S SIMPLE:

Whether your hot tub is:

• Newly purchased.
• You have an existing hot tub.
• Or you have been using chemicals or other water treatments.

The decontamination process is the same!

Before proceeding, ensure that your hot tub has an adjustable filter cycle timer that can operate the filter circulation pump, for 4 -8 hours daily. If not, contact your electrician who can simply fit one to your hot tub. For hot tubs with a 24 hour, 7day filter pump, please leave in this mode.

1. Ensure your filters are clean by using a recommended filter cleansing solution (water alone will not be sufficient).
   
   
2. Submerge the simplesilver block into the hot tub where it is convenient. If you have been using conventional chemicals in your new or existing hot tub, there is no need to drain or change the water at this stage. If your hot tub has an ozone system, leave it operational.
   
   
3. Set your filter pump timer to operate daily, for as long as possible, or for a minimum of 8 hours per day, for the first 7 days, with the water temperature set between 35-40ºC.
   
   
4. Do not use the hot tub over this 7 day decontamination period.
   
   
5. Clean the filters every second day with a recommended cleansing solution to assist in removing contamination.
   
   
6. After day 7, drain the hot tub, irrespective of the water condition (cloudy or clear). Clean the inside of the hot tub, the filters with a recommended cleansing solution and rinse the simplesilver block in warm water. Then refill the hot tub with fresh water.
   
   
7. Submerge the simplesilver block back into the hot tub where convenient.
   
   
8. As there are many hot tubs with different size pumps, water flow rates and operating parameters, we suggest the following:
   
   • For hot tubs with a continuous 24 hour, 7 day filter circulation pump, please leave in this mode.
   • If your hot tub has a filter circulation pump that operates at various times throughout the day, then set    the filter cycle timer to operate for as long as possible in a 24 hour period. Once the water remains    crystal clear and odourless whilst bathing, the time setting for filtering can be gradually decreased until    the optimum set point is achieved. However ensure that the filter pump operates for a combined    minimum period of 4 hours per day.
   
   
9. Congratulations, you can now use your hot tub and enjoy the benefits of a hassle free environment for the next 12 months.
   
   
10. After you exit the hot tub, we recommend that you run the jet massage or filter pump so that water movement over the simplesilver block is achieved. This ensures quick decontamination of the hot tub after use. For convenience, use the pump that has the 20 minute automatic off timer.
    
    
11. Your hot tub water will need no further maintenance, apart from normal weekly filter cleaning.
    
    
12. In approximately 12 months, your simplesilver block will need replacing. At this stage, you will notice that the water will become cloudy and deterioration of water quality will occur. Do not use the hot tub. Purchase a new block of simplesilver.
