How to use AquaFinesse™:

• Convert to Aqua Finesse™ after a spa drain and refill. For older spas, Carefree recommends that you use AquaFinesse Spa Clean™ Tablet to purge sediments and contaminates that have built up in the spa over time. When the Spa Clean Tablet is used you must drain the spa and refill before starting the Aqua Finesse water treatment system.
   
• Fill your spa with non-softened water. If you have softened water you will need to add calcium back into the water.
   
• Shake the bottle of AquaFinesse™ well to mix. The amount of liquid added is based upon the number of gallons in your spa.
   
• Using the cup provided in the kit, add the correct amount of AquaFinesse™ (as indicated on the bottle) into the water. Do not overdose.
   
• Turn on the spa jets for a minimum of two minutes to activate the AquaFinesse™ water care system.
   
• Place (1) hard milled tri-chlor in the slow-release dispenser in your kit (use only the tablets provided in the kit otherwise they may dissolve too quickly). Secure cap, place wet tablet in slow-release dispenser in filter area, skimmer area or nest tablet dispenser in filter pleats. You want to have some portion of the tablet in the feeder at all times.
   

• After initial conversion period, observe tablet every 7 days to determine if the tablet needs to be replenished. If tablet is filtering down sooner than 7 days, use 1/2 tablet at a time.
   

• Filters will need to cleaned twice per week when you first covert to AquaFinesse™. After that, clean spa filters a minimum of every 7-10 days.   This will ensure that the sanitizer gets filtered though the spa.  Some customers have had good results by having two filters. Rotation of filters is best with the Aqua Finesse™ system because when a filter is dried, bacteria is killed. *Do not enter hot tub if you cannot see the head of a dime on the bottom of the tub.
   

• One kit treats a 300 - 425 gallon hot tub for 4-5 months.
  
  
  
  

What's the best way to clean the filters?
Remove the filters from the tub and rinse them completely using a high pressure rinse with the garden hose.   Once a month, soak the filters in a bucket using Spa Essentials Filter Cleaner and Degreaser. Rinse hot tub filters well before re-use. Always allow the filters to dry completely before reinserting them into the hot tub.  Dried filters will filter the best and drying the filter kills bacteria.

How often should I change the spa water?
Carefree recommends that you change your spa water every three to four months.

Is it safe to drain the Aqua Finesse™ water into my lawn?
Yes, AquaFinesse™ is environmentally friendly and will not injure your garden, plants, trees, grass, prize winning rose bushes or household pets.
