It includes concentrated chlorinating granules, MPS (Monopersulfate) oxidizer*, pH up\/alkalinity up, pH down\/alkalinity down, instant filter cleaner, 5-way test strips, and a spa water maintenance & troubleshooting guide. \n\n<\/p>\n\n<h6>\n    *MPS can be used with our FreshWater Salt System but not compatible with the Smart Monitoring System.\n<\/h6>\n\n<h3>\n    Clean Screen<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Pre-filter\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    Keep your water its cleanest every time you fill the spa. Attach the Clean Screen to your garden hose to filter out organic contaminants, tannins, and metals, such as copper, manganese, and iron so they don\u2019t make it into your spa. This product is recommended for use with the FreshWater\u00ae Salt System.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>\n    Vanishing ACT<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Calcium&nbsp;Remover &amp; ON THE GO<sup>&reg;<\/sup> PORTABLE WATER SOFTENER \n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    Softer water leaves your skin feeling silkier and it helps protect your spa components from the damaging effects of hard water. The hardness level should be below 75 ppm with a target of  50 ppm. Use Vanishing Act calcium remover or On The Go portable water softener to remove calcium hardness and soften hard water without chemical additives.\n<\/p> \n\n<p>\n    Vanishing Act is used in areas where calcium hardness is between 75-150 ppm. \n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n    Use the Vanishing Act XL\u00ae for larger spas over 400 gallons of water capacity or if calcium levels are between 150 \u2013 300 ppm. \n<\/p>\n\n<p>\n    On The Go portable water softener is used in areas where calcium hardness is over 300 ppm. \n<\/p>\n\n<h2>\n    Water Testing\n<\/h2>\n\n<h3>\n    5-way Test Strips\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    Quickly test and monitor free chlorine, total bromine, pH, alkalinity, and total hardness levels of your spa water with these easy-to-use test strips. It is recommended to use these test strips with any Hot Spring spa.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n   MPS Test Strips\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    Use these test strips to monitor your spa\u2019s MPS, pH, and alkalinity levels when using the MPS chlorine-free oxidizer.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>\n    Salt Test Strips\n<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\n    Monitor your spa's sodium chloride levels with these test strips. This product is recommended for use with the FreshWater Salt System.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n   Phosphate Test Strips\n<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\n    Phosphate management is critically important to ensure a successful startup and maintenance of the FreshWater Salt System. Phosphate levels of your spa water need to be below 300 ppb with a target of 150 ppb. Use a phosphate remover if levels are outside of target range.  \n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>\n    Sanitizing and Balancing\n<\/h2>\n\n<h3>\n    Concentrated Chlorinating&nbsp;Granules\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    This efficient sanitizer is popular because it is completely soluble, shelf stable, and nearly pH neutral.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>\n    Mineral Spa Sanitizer\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    The continuous silver ion purifier further reduces the need for chlorine by inhibiting bacterial growth. Silver ions are released into the water automatically so there\u2019s no chance of under- or over-dosing. Simply replace the cartridge every four months. This product is recommended for use with our FreshWater Salt System, but not compatible with the Smart Monitoring System.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>\n    PH\/Alkilinity&nbsp;Up & PH\/Alkilinity&nbsp;Down\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    It is important to maintain a pH range of 7.2 to 7.8 in your spa. pH up prevents pH bounce and deterioration of spa surface and fittings from low total alkalinity. A pH reading that is too high can cause cloudy or colored water.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>\n    MPS Chlorine-Free Oxidizer\n<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\n    This fast-acting formula refreshes and brightens spa water. When used with the FreshWater Mineral Spa Sanitizer, the MPS chlorine-free oxidizer helps activate the silver ions so they can do their job quicker and more effectively. Plus, it\u2019s pH neutral, so it won\u2019t alter water chemistry. This product can be used with our FreshWater Salt System but not compatible with the Smart Monitoring System.\n<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>\n    Cleaning and Maintenance\n<\/h2>\n\n<h3>\n    Stain &amp; Scale Defense\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    For use to control mineral stain and scale formation. \n<\/p>\n\n<h3>\n    PHOSPHATE REMOVER \n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    Phosphate management is critically important to ensure a successful startup and maintenance of the FreshWater Salt System. Phosphates in the spa water can increase the demand for chlorine which can reduce the effectiveness of the salt system. Therefore, as part of regular maintenance, we recommend testing of spa water for phosphates and using a phosphate remover if levels are outside of specified parameters. If Smart Monitoring System is installed it is recommended to use smaller doses to target just below 300 ppb. Overuse of this product could impact the performance of the Smart Monitoring System.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>\n    Defoamer\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    Remove foam caused by soaps, oils, and other contaminants that naturally enter hot tubs during use.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>\n    Cover Shield\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    Clean, condition, and protect your spa cover.\n<\/p>\n\n<h3>\n    FILTER CLEANER & INSTANT FILTER CLEANER**\n<\/h3>\n\n<p>\n    Keep your filters in their best condition to maximize water flow and keep your spa operating effectively with FreshWater<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Filter Cleaner or the FreshWater<sup>&reg;<\/sup> Instant Filter Cleaner spray-on, no-soak formula. .\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48cb4ef0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"48cb4ef0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<p>\n    <sup>*<\/sup>For other water care options, as well as personalized care and expert tips, connect with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotspring.com\/hot-tub-dealers\">local Hot Spring dealer<\/a>.\n<br>\n    <sup>**<\/sup>For more ingredient information visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/freshwaterregs.com\" title=\"External link to Freshwaterregs.com website\">freshwaterregs.com<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Shop Water Care Spa Water Care Spa Water Care Keep your spa water crystal clear, feeling natural, and ready whenever you are\u2014with FreshWater&reg; spa care products, designed exclusively for Hot Spring\u00ae spas.
