Switch Your Hot Tub to Waters Choice Start Up Kit
Why choose a start up kit for an existing hot tub
“Start up” does not just mean starting a brand-new spa. It can also mean starting fresh with your water care.
Perhaps your current routine has become a shelf full of bottles, a confusing calendar, and a different product for every concern. Switching systems feels easier when the core supplies come together with directions.
The Waters Choice Spa Startup Kit — 3 Month Supply includes:
- Three 12-ounce bottles of Pure Enzymes for Spas
- pH Increaser and pH Decreaser
- Sanitizer
- Test strips
- Instructions
That puts monthly enzyme treatment, water testing, pH adjustment, and sanitizer in one box.
Instead of building your new routine one bottle at a time, you have a coordinated starting point. Keep the kit together near your spa supplies, and the next water-care task becomes easier to find and follow.
What makes enzyme-based hot tub care different
Waters Choice Pure Enzymes for Spas help break down organic waste, including body oils and sunscreen. These are the everyday materials bathers bring into the water, even when it looks clean.
Enzymes support the sanitizer by helping address that organic load. Continue testing and follow the sanitizer label and your spa manufacturer’s requirements. We recommend 2 tsp of Sanitizer after every other use. Normally, no need for shock.
How to switch an existing hot tub to Waters Choice
1. Check your current water and treatment system
Before adding anything, check the age and condition of your water.
Clean water less than 60 days old may qualify for a transition without draining. Older or cloudy water calls for a purge and refill under Waters Choice’s startup directions.
If using a chlorine generator, decrease to lowest level.
2. Purge and refill when needed
A water change is an opportunity to address the plumbing as well as the water you can see.
Waters Choice recommends Clean & Drain when a purge is needed before switching. Follow its directions, drain the spa, clean the shell, and refill with fresh water. Clean & Drain is a separate purchase from the standard three-month Spa Startup Kit.
3. Establish your new routine
Follow the enclosed kit instructions for balancing the water, adding enzymes, and using sanitizer. Match treatment to your spa’s capacity; Pure Enzymes for Spas uses a monthly application, with one 12-ounce bottle treating up to 500 gallons.
Adding the dates to each bottle of Pure Enzymes for Spas will tell you the next enzyme application. Keep testing supplies accessible so checking the water becomes part of getting ready for a soak.
4. Give filtration and filter care attention
Waters Choice’s kit directions call for at least eight hours of filtration daily during the first six weeks, plus weekly filter cleaning during that period. Afterward, the directions move filter cleaning to every other week.
If water becomes cloudy, check sanitizer, water balance, filtration, and filter condition before using the spa. Contact Waters Choice if the problem persists rather than adding a series of unfamiliar products.
Frequently asked questions about switching hot tub water care
Is the Waters Choice Start Up Kit only for new hot tubs
No. It can also help an existing hot tub owner begin a Waters Choice routine. Water condition and the previous treatment system determine the transition steps.
Do I have to drain my hot tub before switching
Not always. Waters Choice allows starting with clean water less than 60 days old. Otherwise, its directions call for a purge and fresh fill. Confirm any additional requirements for your previous system.
Can I use Waters Choice with a saltwater hot tub
Yes. Decrease to lowest setting.
Does the kit make my hot tub chemical-free
As chemical-free as a spa can be.
