The 3-Day A Week Program
Maintenance is the key to a clean and healthy spa. Once you’ve followed the steps above to fill your spa, keep water clear and fresh with this 3-Day A Week Program.
For the purpose of explanation, we will use Monday, Wednesday, & Friday as the treatment days for the 3-Day A Week Program. You could just as easily use Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, or any three days of similar spacing.
Throughout the 3-Day A Week Program be sure to circulate spa water for at least 15 minutes before adding another product.

NOTE: This program is intended for a residential spa with average use. It is not designed for public, commercial or semi-public spas. If your spa is used by more than two people more than 3 times per week, you should check and make chemical additions more often than suggested.
To ensure water quality and keep the water easy to balance, Leisure Time recommends draining your spa water at least every 3 months, or more often if the spa is used frequently.
IMPORTANT: Filter cycle should be run a minimum of 6-8 hours per day.
During spa use, you may occasionally experience excess foaming in your spa. Use SPA FOAM DOWN to immediately reduce foaming. Regular shock treatment with RENEW or OZ will help prevent excess foam from reoccurring.
