Overview

As a first time simplesilver™ user, whether you have a new or existing spa pool, you will need to make sure it is clean. There are various reasons why your spa pool may not be clean - after factory testing - during shipping from the manufacturer or retailer - substandard maintenance.
Secondly, the correct amount of simplesilver™ minerals need to be released into the water to effectively control & balance the pH, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, bacteria & limiting the formation of scale & corrosion - this takes time.

Step 1 - Installation Process

There is no need to drain the water in your spa pool unless you were previously using bromine

Simply place the simplesilver™ blue tablet anywhere in your spa pool water.
The tablet must be kept in the water for the 12 month duration.
If you have been using bromine "click here for more information"

Now go to Step 2

Note - If your spa pool has been empty for a period, we recommend completing our santising "Solution 2" process as there could still be dirty water within the system "click here for these printable instructions"

Step 2 - Filter Pump Set-up

A - You need to set your filter circulation pump timer to operate daily

To set this up "click here to see our Controller Settings"

Remember:
- Turn the filter pump onto automatic mode
- Turn off the sleep timer
- Turn off holiday mode
- Turn off energy-saving mode
- Make sure to open all jet heads & water features

Note - It is critical that the filter circulation pump is set correctly to circulate 100,000 litres of water per day.
This ensures that the correct amount of simplesilver™ minerals are released automatically into the water at a constant & controlled rate to balance it.

B - Once the filter pump has been set, do not use your spa pool for the next 7 days

It takes time for the correct amount of simplesilver™ minerals to be released into the water at a constant & controlled rate to effectively balance the pH, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, scale, corrosion & bacteria.

C - At the end of the 7 day period

Clean the filters using a filter cleaning solution - as water alone is ineffective.
Dry the filters before re-installing - this makes the filters more effective as the fibres expand - it will also stop the water foaming.

Note - If you use the spa pool before this 7 day period, there will not be sufficient simplesilver™ minerals in the water to effectivity balance the waters pH, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, scale, corrosion & bacteria.

Now go to Step 3

Step 3 - Use the Spa Pool

After Day 7

You have now cleaned your filters using a filter santising solution.
As a reference, your spa pool water "Should Always Look Like This" when using simplesilver.
If so, enjoy your spa pool.

Note - If your spa pool water is not crystal-clear or if it has an odour, things are not right. For help "click here to see our Troubleshooting section"

Then

Follow the Filter Maintenance instructions below at least every two weeks to ensure pristine water.

Note - If the filters become 50% blocked, then during the filter cycle, only 50% of the water will circulate. Therefore only 50% of the simplesilver™ minerals will be released, therefore 50% effective.

Filter Maintenance

Regular Filter Cleaning

At least every two weeks clean your filters using a filter sanitising solution.
Water alone is ineffective in cleaning the filters as it cannot breakdown any skin, perspiration, oils, lotions, hair, water salts, dust, dirt & other foreign matter.
While the filters are removed, with a cloth & container of water (to rinse the cloth), wipe the insides of the filter cavity & housing area.
This area is commonly overlooked & can be a cause of unpleasant odours & slippery feeling sides.
Make sure the filters are dry before reintroducing these as the filter fibres will expand making these more effective.
Dry filters also stops the water from foaming.

Note - Your filters are an integral part of the water maintenance process & have a finite life of 12 months.
At this point, they will block up & no longer be effective or able to be cleaned - this will turn the water cloudy.

Installation & Best Practice

Since you have already been using simplesilver™, all you have to do is put the new simplesilver™ tablet into the water.
However, prior to installing your new simplesilver™ tablet, we recommend that the water should be changed & the spa pool cleaned.
Once you have refilled the spa pool & installed the new simplesilver™ tablet, it will take 5 days for the correct amount of simplesilver™ minerals to be released into the water to effectively control & balance the pH, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, scale, corrosion & bacteria.

Note - If you use the spa pool before this 5 day period, there will not be sufficient simplesilver™ minerals in the water to effectively control & balance the waters pH, alkalinity, total dissolved solids, scale, corrosion & bacteria.

Then

Follow the Filter Maintenance instructions above at least every two weeks to ensure pristine water.

"I have to compliment you on this product. I bought one hoping it would work as it sounded just so simple, almost too good to be true. However, I am about to buy my third and I just cannot praise Simplesilver highly enough. It is simple, it is effective and a pleasure to soak in my hot tub knowing I'm not absorbing nasty chemicals. Thank you. "

"I’m a pharmacist so I know about chemicals. I used to throw in so many different chemicals into our hot tub, trying to get the right balance, but we’d still end up bathing in a chemical soup. With simplesilver™ you just chuck it in forget about it, the hot tub water’s always crystal clear and it doesn’t smell - it's just absolutely the best thing ever!"
- Yvette Urlich
"We purchased a new hot tub and selected a non-chlorine water treatment product (not simplesilver™). After two months of mucking about, water the colour of milk and not getting any better, we had had enough and changed to simplesilver™. It’s been two months now and the hot tub water is as clear as the day we put it in. It’s the best product on the market for hot tubs, so simple! No testing, no chemicals, not having to put in a quick fix each week, anyone that does not use simplesilver™ is clearly mad!! My Saturday task is to clean the filter and replace it with the spare I had cleaned from the previous week, all of 10 minutes, brilliant! Its a fantastic product and worth every cent. Update October 2019 - Just letting you know I am still using simplesilver, must be about 5 years now and have never ever had any problems and the hot tub is still running the same as it was when new. Once again a fantastic product!!"

"I developed a skin thing using the other stuff - chlorine, bromine. I came up with blisters, itching. I tried a range of chemical options but found in the end that nothing solved my problem, until I discovered a fellow sufferer whose skin irritation problems were solved by replacing all the chemicals in his hot tub with simplesilver™. I bought it and sure enough, it was fine. I’ve been able to get back into the hot tub again with no reaction. I’m nothing but pleased with simplesilver™."
- Paul Mcleod
"My skin is really wrecked and sensitive. I used to get skin irritations from the chemicals like chlorine but since I’ve used simplesilver™ I can go into our hot tub and get no side-effects. I Like the fact that you can put in the simplesilver™ tablet and that's it - that's all you have had to do. It’s so simple! You don’t do pH up and pH down and all that. You don’t do anything with simplesilver™ - it just goes on and on and on. We’ve used simplesilver™ for about nine years. I would absolutely recommend it to other people."
- Zelda Sayers
"We have used simplesilver™ in our hot tub for about 12 years and find it amazing!! My husband has very sensitive skin that reacts with traditional chemicals so using simplesilver™ is a real benefit as he can enjoy the hot tub without any side effects. We have told various friends with tubs, all have purchased simplesilver™ and have had the same amazing experiences!!"
- Bronwyn Steers
"We used other chemicals for a while but with simplesilver™ you don’t have to worry about testing the water every day. I like the ease and simplicity of it. Also I like sitting in the hot tub and not having to breathe chemical fumes - and I like the feel of the water with simplesilver™ – it kind of feels soft. I’m very happy with it simplesilver™ and I would absolutely recommend it to everybody."
- Brenda Fleming
"We didn’t like the chlorine. We didn’t like have to deal with them all the time and we didn’t like smelling of chlorine. This simplesilver™ is the easy option – and we don’t have to go and shower after a swim. It’s fantastic stuff. We’ve used it for about eight years and we’ve recommended it to several people. It’s brilliant because we don’t have to do anything and we don’t smell of chlorine after we’ve been in the hot tub. And the hot tub is mint - no effect - just like new. All piping and everything is all working just like new. We’ve never had to do a thing to it. simplesilver™ is just brilliant!"
