Conditions

 

All warranties are subject to an annual service carried out by a Crystec Authorised Service Engineer. Any Hot Tub that does not have an annual service within 30 days from each annual anniversary of purchase, will no longer be supported by the manufacturer’s warranty. Any movement of the spa from its original position or change of ownership from the original purchaser must be authorised/carried out by a Crystec Spas authorised engineer.

 

All warranties apply to the original customer from the date of original installation, at the original address that the Spa was installed. The warranty does not include engineer mileage or labour costs if no fault is found. The warranty does not include costs incurred using an unauthorised engineer. Customers must gain written consent from Crystec Spas before instructing any engineer not authorised by Crystec Spas. In all cases Crystec Spas has the sole responsibility for determining the cause and nature of a fault and Crystec Spas’ determination is final. Crystec Spas reserve the right to provide a replacement Spa of equivalent value if we deem it to be necessary.

 

All warranties apply from the date the Spa is delivered to the customer, which must be supported with evidence of the signed delivery by and authorised Crystec engineer.

 

This warranty shall be void if the failure or defect was attributable to any extrinsic cause, accidental damage, improper use, modification, adaptation, neglect, wear and tear, improper installation and improper connection with any peripheral, external electrical fault.

 

Exclusions

 

The customer must report any damage to the Spa at the time of delivery.

 

The customer must report any subsequent discovered fault to Crystec Spas within 28 days from delivery.

If an engineer visit is required, a call out charge of 95 Euros will be payable in advance. A full refund shall be processed within 48 hours if a warranty fault is confirmed by a Crystec Spas Engineer.

Chemical Guidance

 

Understanding Chemicals

 

Chlorine

Eliminates bacteria and potentially harmful organisms which is essential when dealing with large volumes of warm water. Ensuring that chlorine levels are adequate within your Hot Tub requires a daily check (using test strips) and helps to keep the PH at a satisfactory level. It is a very simple task and takes just 2 minutes. Chlorine is available in granule and tablet form for use with a tablet dispenser.

 

Bromine

Similar to Chlorine and effective over a wider range of PH levels. Bromine is slightly more stable at higher temperatures with a more subtle odour. Also available in tablet form for use with a tablet dispenser.

 

Antifoam

This is used to destroy unsightly foam (caused by detergents in your clothes or cosmetics etc) that may form on the surface of your water. It is a quick and safe way to break down the foam, simply add the stated dose to your water while pumps are running.

 

Non-Chlorine Shock

The ultimate product for water oxidation. It destroys bathers waste but also totally clarifies your water so that your Spa not only looks great but feels great too. Essential after heavy usage in your Spa.

 

pH Plus

pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline your bathing water is. The ideal range for skin and your Spa is between 7.2 and 7.6. If your pH drops below 7.2, pH Plus will increase the level back to the desired range.

 

pH Minus

Likewise, pH Minus will decrease the level of your waters pH. In hard water areas where calcium deposits can build up, this product is very effective.

 

Filter Cleaner

Rapidly removes grease and oil from your filter cartridge. Regularly cleaning your filter will help you Spa to function better and ensure the clarity of your water is sparkly. Rinse filter with a hosepipe to remove any larger particles of debris then put the filters in a bucket of water with the filter cleaner overnight. The following day, thoroughly clean with a hosepipe and allow the filters to dry naturally ready for the next use.

 

Surface Cleaner

Specially formulated for use in Spas, not only is Surface cleaner effective, but it can also be used on all internal Spa surfaces without upsetting the pH level. Great for removing those unsightly water/scum lines.

 

Hot Tub Flush

Removes the build-up of soaps and oils and scum that may sit and linger in your Hot Tubs plumbing. Hot Tub Flush is used prior to draining the spa and gives a deep and thorough clean every time.

 

Spa Fragrances

 A variety of scents are available. Aromatherapy has proven therapeutic benefits and can improve your overall mood.

 

All chemicals should be used in accordance with the instructions which are clearly detailed on the label of each unit.

 

 

Maintenance Routine

 

Daily


Test the Chlorine or Bromine levels using our 4-Way Test Strips to ensure that your Spa is adequately sanitised and dose your Spa according to the instructions on your Crystec purchased packaging.
Test Spa pH levels to ensure they fall between 7.2 and 7.6. If not within these parameters a simple dose of pH Plus or pH Minus should resolve the issue. Again, use according to instructions.
If the water is foaming, use Anti-Foam as per the instructions for immediate effect.

 

Weekly


‘Shock’ the Spa with a suitable oxidising agent such as Non chlorine shock (Oxygen Shock) or Spa Granular Shock (Calcium Hypochlorite) this is a fast-acting formula for rapid water recovery.

 

Fortnightly


Rotate your filters every second week depending on usage. The filter is the work horse of your Spa and if put under too much pressure, the clarity of your water will suffer. Having replacement filters that you can rotate means that you can maintain the highest water clarity and avoid down time during the cleaning process. Allowing the filters to dry completely before replacing them ensures a cleaner and safer bathing environment whilst strengthening the paper fibers and prolonging the life of the filter.

 

Monthly


If you live in an area with hard water (high Calcium) adding de-scaler or pH Minus to your Spa will reduce calcium build up and prolong the life of your Spa.

 

Periodically


System Flush - use Hot Tub Flush to give yours Spa’s plumbing system a really thorough clean. Introduce the recommended amount the night before you drain the Spa and after a short cycle of the pumps, allow it to settle. Drain your Spa the following day and rest easy knowing that all of the internal plumbing has been deeply and thoroughly cleansed.

This process is highly recommended, and essential for prolonging the lifetime of your Spa.
