How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid using the spa until water is clear and properly sanitized.

  • 1. Test water: Use a reliable test kit or strips to check sanitizer, pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness.
  • 2. Shock the spa: Add a non-chlorine or chlorine shock product per label directions to oxidize contaminants.
  • 3. Clean filters: Remove and clean PDC Spas filters thoroughly. Replace if old or heavily stained.
  • 4. Run pumps: Run the jets and filtration cycles longer to improve circulation.
  • 5. Drain and refill: If water remains cloudy or odorous after treatment, drain the spa completely, clean the shell, and refill with fresh water, then balance chemistry.
