Many independent laboratories have tested the properties of AquaSafe enzyme. In all cases, bacteria and viruses were eliminated in just 30 seconds. Here is a summary of some of the lab studies:

E.coli
The University of Connecticut, in 1995, determined the AquaSafe enzymes eliminate, E.coli., pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus.

Trichophyton mentagrophytes
This fungus, which exists primarily in spore form, causes Athlete’s Foot. In 1995, the University of Connecticut determined the AquaSafe enzyme eliminates the spores. They also determined the AquaSafe enzyme was more effective at eliminating athletes’ foot fungus than traditional medications.

Legionella Pneumophila
This microorganism causes Legionnaires’s disease. In 1995, Bio Research Laboratories of Redmond, Washington determined that the AquaSafe eliminates this organism in 30 seconds. A remarkable application for cooling towers.

Parvo
This is a deadly disease for dogs. AquaSafe enzyme eliminates the parvovirus. The enzyme can be sprayed directly onto the animal and generously sprayed inside kennels without removing the animals. It only benefits the animals skin and coat, because the enzyme biodegrades hard proteins, it also effectively eliminates fleas and their eggs.

Salmonella choleraesuis
In 1997, Bio Research Laboratories determined that AquaSafe enzymes eliminates salmonella. This research was done for the meat and poultry industry.

E.faecium
In 2002, Bio Research Laboratories confirmed that AquaSafe inhibits E.faecium, one of the two leading bacteria found in spa water.

Biological Oxygen Demand
The Benton-Franklin District Health Department (Richland, Washington) ran a series of tests using the AquaSafe enzyme in 1995. They were unable to get a reliable Biological Oxygen Reading (BOD) because “the oxygen depletion was too great to determine the true BOD.” This means the enzymes were so effective at neutralizing contaminants in the test solution that the test was not able to measure it. AquaSafe has the same BOD rating as chlorine, yet AquaSafe has no toxicity to any living thing. 100% harmless to children, pets, fish, birds, reptiles, plants, rivers, lakes, streams and ponds. It harms nothing except germs and viruses, yet has the killing ability of chlorine.

Acute toxicity to Rainbow Trout
Rainbow Trout are very sensitive to toxins in the environment, which is why they are used in toxicity tests. An extensive series of tests with our enzymes revealed a Lethal Concentration (LC50) figure of 20,341.4 parts per million. In comparison, chlorine has an LC50 figure of 7.4 parts per million. This means the chlorine used to disinfect our drinking water is 316 times more toxic that AquaSafe’s enzymes. What this study tells you is this: fish live in water! They cannot live in pure enzyme alone, but mixed with water in heavy concentrations the enzyme is harmless. Chlorine on the other hand is devastatingly toxic to fish and the environment.

Product Safety
Product safety tests indicate that all products at user concentration levels are completely safe and do not exhibit any dermal, ocular or oral toxicity.

Bio-Based
In 2005, Beta Analytic of Miami, in collaboration with Iowa State University, studied AquaSafe. They determined from radiocarbon dating analysis it is 100% bio-based.

Directions

This is a two-step process. Unless your spa is brand new, you will need to remove all excess build-up of contaminants in your spa’s system by using AquaSafe 90 Spa Cleanser before using AquaSafe 90. We suggest you do not use the spa during the cleanser process.

Step One:
Penetrating Spa Cleanser

1  Remove your cartridge filter for the duration of the cleanser process. We also recommend you clean or replace your filter at this time.

2   Pour one bottle of the Aquasafe 90 Spa Cleanser into the old water. If the spa is 3-4 years old or more, use two bottles.

3   Let the spa circulate with the water temperature between 35-37ºC for a minimum of 8 hours per day, for 5 days.

4   After 5 days, drain the old water from the Spa - when the water level reaches the footwell use a hosepipe and add fresh water whilst still draining. This will flush the water from the lower pipework, do this for 10 minutes, clean and refill Spa.

5   Clean both sides of the cover with some of the AquaSafe 90 and rinse thoroughly. If the cover has any breaks or tears, we recommend it be replaced.

VERY IMPORTANT
If your spa cover has a zipper closure it is important to unzip the cover (DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER - IT’S DIFFICULT TO PUT BACK ON), and flush the inside with your garden hose. The inside has been known to harbour moulds, mildew and bacteria - all of which drip from condensation through the cover back into the spa water.

Step Two: AquaSafe 90

1  Add a one litre bottle of AquaSafe 90 to spas of 1200 - 2250 litres. If your spa is less than 1200 litres add 375ml.

2   After the water has reached the desired temperature (35-37ºc), check the pH level to ensure it is in the range of 8.0 to 8.4. You initially may need to check your pH levels on a weekly basis, although the AquaSafe 90 should maintain the level automatically.

3   Rinse your filter every week or more frequently - based on bather usage. Use a jet attachment on the hose pipe to rinse thoroughly. Soak the filter in a filter cleanser overnight every 4 to 6 weeks, rinse with water and allow to dry before replacing.

4   Drain and refill your spa and add AquaSafe 90 every three months. Don’t forget to use the Reminder Card attached.

We recommend the weekly use of SeaKlear Natural Clarifier Product to keep your water sparkling clear. After each application of SeaKlear run the spa for 20 minutes.

Useful Tips

To help avoid any issues arising, follow these 4 tips as a preventative measure

1  Set your spa to filter ideally for 16 hours per day - consult your users manual or telephone for instructions
2  Rinse the filters weekly and allow to dry before replaceing.
3  Clean filter every 4-6 weeks in Filterbrite cleaning solution.
4  Add an oxidiser weekly or twice weekly if the spa is used heavily.

Troubleshooting

Below is a list of the main issues that may occur with your spa, but before taking action please telephone our office to discuss your problem.

Issue: Cloudy water
Possible causes
1  A large number of bathers, lotions, oils, deodorants, sunscreens or other products used on the skin, soap residues in bathing suits.
2  Contamination in the water supply or chemical residue from the pipes.
3  A fragrance has been added to the water.
4  Too much AquaSafe 90 has been put into the spa. (See Step Two - No.1)
(for small spas of 1200 litres or under 375ml of AquaSafe 90 is adequate.)

Solutions
1  Make sure filters are clean and the filtration system runs at least 8 hours a day. Add some oxidiser or clarifier (such as SeaKlear Natural Clarifier).
2  Make sure filters are clean and the filtration system runs at least 8 hours a day. Add some oxidiser or clarifier (such as SeaKlear Natural Clarifier).
3  If a fragrance was put in the water, the tub must be drained and go back to Step 2.Refrain from putting any fragrances in the water with AquaSafe 90. If you have an Aromatherapy Pod you can either use beads or herbal oil dispensed on a linen cloth.
4  It may be necessary to partially drain the tub (drain out 10%) and refill with fresh water.

Issue: Green water
Possible causes
1  Copper in the water supply
2  Someone with a green bathing suit was in the spa and the colour leaked out into the water. This can happen with new bathing suits.

Solutions
For a high-copper content, use a product (such as Eco 1 in line pre filter) that eliminates metal in the water. For green colour from a bathing suit, it may be necessary to partially drain the tub (drain out 25%) and refill with fresh water. Top up with 250ml of AquaSafe 90..

Issue: Brown ring around the spa
Possible cause
High iron content in the water supply.

Solution
Use a product that eliminates metal in the water. If you fill your tub from a hose, it is possible to fit the hose with a filter that removes metals before they get in the tub.

Additional Hints and Tips for using AquaSafe 90

We do not recommend using any fragrances because they may not be compatible.

AquaSafe 90 is a positively charged ion. Your tubs’ surface has a negative charge. Once in a 90-day period, they will bond, and you will notice a slight film develop on the surface of your tub. All that you need to do is wipe the inside of your tub with a clean cloth or sponge to break this bond. The great result of this bonding is that it also creates a natural lubricant within your spa, coating your heating element, pump, seals and your plumbing - allowing your tubs’ mechanics to work longer and better.

At times you may experience an organic smell. This simply means AquaSafe 90 has found contaminants and is working harder. This may suggest your filter requires more frequent cleaning. Make sure the pH is between 8.0 and 8.4. Check to make sure the underside and inside of the cover has been cleaned. If the odour is still present after 24 hours, some SeaKlear Natural Clarifier may be used.

AquaSafe 90 is compatible with ozonators, chlorine and bromine.

Cloudy water may be caused by frequent use by a large number of bathers, or lotions, oils, deodorants, sunscreens or other products used on the skin or soap residues in bathing suits.
