Hot Tub Start-Up & Maintenance Guide

We carry Dazzle™ products to help you maintain a clean and balanced hot tub.

Start-Up Instructions while filling:

Add Dazzle™ Stain & Scale 1 (375 ml per 1,000 L) to cold water.
Once full, start the pump (aeration off) and begin heating.
Water Balancing:

Bring a sample to us for expert recommendations.
Balance the water accordingly.
Allow circulation for 2 hours.

Sanitization & Conditioning:

Apply Dazzle™ Amaze (2 caps per 1,000 L), circulate for 15 minutes, and leave the cover off for at least 1 hour.

Add Dazzle™ Botanical Cleanse (3 caps per 1,000 L) around the edges. (Avoid adding if sanitizer level is above 5 ppm.)

Establish sanitizer levels using Dazzle™ Bromine or Chlorine Granules, then fill the tablet dispenser to maintain 3.0 – 5.0 ppm.

Add Dazzle™ Performance Plus (200 g per 1,000 L) through the skimmer or near the suction plate.

Apply Dazzle™ Nature Sheen (20 ml per 1,000 L) to clear water; run the filter continuously and clean as needed.
