Aquafinesse

Aquafinesse

In November 2008 the UK Distributor of Aquafinesse chose to stop supplying Splash Spas with their product. We believe it to be related to the following

OUR PRICE IS TOO LOW: We have consistently offered Aquafinesse to our customers at what we believe to be a fair and reasonable price, and not always at the recommended retail price set by the distributor.

 WE STOCK COMPETITOR PRODUCTS: In order to increase customer choice we have chosen to also stock and promote a product called ecoONE, a direct competitor to Aquafinesse.

The differences between ecoONE and Aquafinesse are as follows..

1.  Unlike Aquafinesse, ecoONE contains no NO CHLORINE. The 24/7 water disinfection is provided by the natural ecoONE enzymes in conjunction with a low level of Bromine. Bromine is proven to be a more effective sanitizer than chlorine at lower concentrations and is also effective over a wider range of pH values. Bromine is also significantly less irritating than Chlorine.

2.  Test strips are provided with the ecoONE kits, enabling you to check your water balance and sanitizer level weekly so you can be sure that your water is being continuously sanitized in accordance with the industry recognised HSE (UK Health and Safety Executive) guidelines. When using ecoONE, it is recommended that you balance your water once when you fill your tub, thereafter the ecoONE Spa Monthly should maintain that balance without the need for further adjustment. This balancing process is both simple and extremely important since no water sanitizer will work effectively if the pH or Total Alkalinity of the water is outside safe limits. The ecoONE Starter kit is provided with all the balancers that you will need.

3. Unlike Aquafinesse, ecoONE does not sequester minerals from your water and deposit them into your filters and so there is no need for frequent filter cleaning after a water change. Fortnightly or monthly filter cleaning (depending on the level of use), using the filter cleaner provided, is sufficient. The only other regular tasks needed are a weekly water dip test and a fortnightly top up of bromine tablets in the dispenser (all provided with the Starter Kit).

4. There are NO HIDDEN EXTRAS. Unlike Aquafinesse, ecoONE kits are supplied with all you need for three months spa maintenance, including shock, filter cleaner and pipe cleaner. There is no need to routinely buy any additional products.

Aquafinesse

Aquafinesse is a spa water treatment that works in a completely different way to chlorine or bromine sanitation.  Aquafinesse  sanitizes the spa water by removing the food source of the bacteria so that they cannot grow and multiply.  This food source is called biofilm and is present on all the spa surfaces, jets and pipes.  Aquafinesse also softens the spa water by breaking down and dissolving limescale build-up.

Aquafinesse is a 2-part system that comprises a liquid, added to the spa water in a measured amount once per week, together with  a chlorine tablet that is placed in a  dispenser which should preferably be located in the hot tub filter compartment.  The chlorine tablet must be replaced when it has completely dissolved, this is usually every 2-3 days, depending on the characteristics of the spa in which it is used.  The liquid destroys the biofilm, coagulates bacteria and softens the water.  The chlorine destroys any  bacteria that manage to survive.

Aquafinesse Frequently Asked Questions

When purchasing Aquafinesse, please note:

In order to use Aquafinesse successfully you need to be able to place a small dispenser, used to contain a single chlorine tablet, preferable in a skimmer basket in the filter compartment.  If your tub does not allow you to do this you will need to purchase a floating dispenser to house the tablet.

In hot tubs with 24hr continuous filtration the chlorine tablet may dissolve quickly and require very frequent replacement.  You will therefore need to position the tablet dispenser carefully so that it is not in very fast water flow and you may need to purchase additional chlorine tablets to supplement those provided in the pack.

Before draining your hot tub and using Aquafinesse for the first time we recommend removing the biofilm and other deposits from the plumbing and equipment first, without the use of harsh or toxic chemicals, by using Spa Flush.  We also recommend the use of SpaFlush at each water change.

When using Aquafinesse it is extremely important to keep your filters clean.  Aquafinesse places a lot of emphasis on the filters doing their job properly during the first week to 10 days of its introduction into your spa.   You can help this process by cleaning the filters daily and drying them before re-introducing them into the spa.   After the initial conditioning period you should clean the filters either weekly or once a fortnight, depending on how often you use your tub.

Some spa owners purchase a second set of filters to rotate with the set that are being cleaned so that they dont miss out on their tub sessions!
