How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Cloudy water can harbor bacteria; avoid soaking until clear and balanced.

  • 1. Clean or replace filter: Rinse thoroughly; if older than 1 year or heavily stained, replace with a Freeflow-compatible cartridge.
  • 2. Shock the spa: Add a non-chlorine or chlorine shock per label directions to oxidize contaminants.
  • 3. Balance water: Adjust pH and alkalinity to recommended ranges.
  • 4. Run filtration: Run jets and filtration for several hours; consider increasing filter cycle duration in the control settings.

If cloudiness persists, use a clarifier product compatible with acrylic/rotomolded shells and your sanitizer system.
