Are you having problems with your Lay-Z-Spa water? If so check out the symptom, cause and remedy in the table below.
| SYMPTOM | CAUSE | REMEDY |
| Green / Cloudy Water / Slippery Sides | Algae | Shock dose with chlorine (see start up dose) and add Algaecide |
| Too much chlorine | Overdose | Allow time to naturally dissipate or buy a chlorine reducer |
| PH hard to control | Alkalinity low | Seek advice on how to raise total alkalinity |
| Can't maintain chlorine levels | Chlorine demand of water too high up start up, after holidays or due to excess contamination or neglect | Shock dose with chlorine (see start up dose on product instructions). Repeat after 24 hours if necessary |
| Cloudy water | Poor chemical control or inadequate filtration | Clean or replace filter cartridge, check chemical levels using either ClearWater Dip Test Strips or a Bestway Aquatester. Adjust if necessary (chlorine/PH). If problem persists buy a clarifier to remove small particles |
| Rough pool sides / edges | Scale formation due to high calcium levels in water | Ensure PH levels are correct using ClearWater Dip Test Strips or aBestway Aquatester and use a pool scale inhibitor to stop calcium precipitating out of water |
| No colour change on test strip dip test | Too high chlorine leading to bleaching of indicator pads (over 15ppm chlorine) | Check expiry date on ClearWater Dip Test Strips. Wait for chlorine level to drop and re-test |
| Foaming | Detergent present from incorrect cleaning products or excessive algaecide use | Reduce water level and top up with fresh water. Avoid domestic household cleaners.You can also use Clearwater Foam Remover if the problem persists. |
