The All Natural Advantage!
Eco One FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The
new Eco One system from the US manufacturer, Pacific Sands Inc,
is an all natural spa water treatment that is made up of all
natural enzymes, minerals and plant extracts that contain no
chlorine, bromine or other harsh chemicals. All components of
Eco One are biodegradable and environmentally safe.
Eco One will greatly reduce your need for the vast majority of
your spa-care chemical regime.
One bottle of Eco One Spa Treatment in conjunction with a shock
treatment such as Spa Lite or Renew and a very small amount of
conventional sanitizer will effectively keep your spa water
crystal clear and odour free for 30 days or more.

The secret to EcoOne is the proprietary blend of natural
enzymes. Enzymes accelerate natural bioprocesses and keep your
spa water sparkling clean without any “chemical soup,” odour,
irritation, dry skin, testing or water balancing. EcoOne enzymes
are of a food grade type housed in coconut extract. As the
solution breaks down during use, the coconut extract is released
and gradually coats the filter cartridge, which improves
filtration and makes cleaning much easier. This coconut extract
has the added benefit of being an excellent skin softener.
EcoOne contains
powerful, natural cleansers that break down oils, body
lotions and other unwanted contaminants, dissolving them
harmlessly and eliminating the cause of unsightly scum
and foam.
EcoOne's pure
organic compounds are naturally attracted to
contaminants and minerals in the water. Solid
contaminants clump together into larger particles that
get swept up and caught in the filter where they belong.
The natural flocking action keeps your water
crystal-clear for a full month.
The natural
water softening minerals in EcoOne reduce the surface
tension of the water and help prevent scale from
forming. The water feels very soft and equipment is
protected.

The EcoOne system currently comprises three components which may
be used separately or together to naturally sanitze and clarify
your spa:
EcoOne
Monthly Spa Treatment is the heart of the EcoOne
system. It will keep up to 500 US gallons (1800
litres) of water looking and feeling great for one month
with average use. [If you use your spa 3 - 5 days a week
for 20 - 30 minutes each day, that is considered to be
average use. Heavier use may require more frequent
additions of EcoOne Monthly Spa Treatment.]
Eco
One Enzyme Active Filter Boost
is applied directly to your filters after each
monthly filter cleaning to improve filter efficiency.
The enzymes make your filter(s) easier to clean and help
to remove damaging minerals and phosphates from your
water.
The
EcoOne Pre-Filter
saves you money, time and hassle by removing or reducing
most common water contaminants before they get into your
spa. It simply connects to the end of your hose and
filters your source water as it enters the tub. The
pre-filter removes:
-
dissolved heavy
metals
- calcites and lime / scale
- Organic
contaminants
- Plus
hundreds of other common water contaminants.
A filter cleaner and a
biofilm pipe cleaner will also be available soon.

There are three easy
steps to starting your tub on Eco One and the process is
applicable to both new and old spas:
Step 1 - Preparation
-
If your tub has water in it, use a biofilm eliminator such
as Spa Flush to the existing tub water and turn on all jets
and pumps for at least 20 minutes.
-
Clean the spa cover with a Spa Cover Cleaner to remove any
mildew or bacterial deposits.
-
Drain and refill
the tub with clean water. Use the EcoOne Pre-Filter
if you know that your water is very hard or contains metal
contaminants. Shock with Spa Lite or an alternative product.
-
Clean the
filter(s) thoroughly using a filter cleaner such as
FilterBrite.
Sprinkle a capful of EcoOne Enzyme Active Filter Boost
uniformly over surface of your filter(s) and replace in the
tub.
Step 2 - Treatment
-
Add the entire contents of the Eco One Monthly Spa
Treatment with all pumps running and all jets open.
-
Test your water
balance and adjust if necessary:
- the Total
Alkalinity should be with the range: 80 - 120 ppm
- the pH should be
within the range: 7.2 – 8.2
-
Add the minimum
recommended amount of sanitizer. You can use either
Chlorine or, preferably, Bromine:
- Chlorine should
be within the range: 0.5 – 1 ppm
- Bromine should be
within the range: 1 – 2 ppm
The best way to maintain the sanitizer level is to put
Bromine tablets into a floating dispenser with the flow rate
turned to minimum. Check the Bromine level daily for a
few days and adjust the flow rate as necessary to maintain
the correct level of Bromine. Thereafter, all you need
to do is to keep the dispenser topped up with tablets.
-
Keep your spa
covered and at normal operational temperature.

EcoOnecan be used in any spa, old or new.
We recommend the use of Spa Flush before you change to Eco One to
remove bio-film and calcium deposits from the plumbing and
equipment without the use of harsh or toxic chemicals

Yes
you can, just add a bottle to Eco One spa monthly and reduce your
sanitizer level as recommended. However, it is better to flush your
pipe work with Spa Flush and drain before
you change to Eco One, particularly if you are using chlorine.
By doing this you will ensure that all excessive chemical residuals
and bi-products are removed from your tub.

When
using Eco One Spa Monthly in conjunction with Eco One
Enzyme Active Filter Boost your
filters will probably only need cleaning monthly. The best way to clean the filters is
usually in your dishwasher, on a 50oC wash cycle, with a
proprietary filter cleaner poured into the soap dispenser. If
you don’t have a dishwasher then soak the filter(s) in water in a
clean bucket with the filter cleaner and rinse off. Always dry
the filters first before reinserting them in the tub.
