Overview

Welcome to your spa. If this is your first one, water care can feel like the hardest part, but it comes down to a short routine and a little guidance. This page is your starting point. It gives you the one idea that makes everything easier, then points you to the guides that walk you through each step.

Take it one step at a time. Your water does not need to be perfect on day one, and the Gecko App is there to tell you exactly what to do next.

The one idea to remember

Spa water care has an order: alkalinity first, then pH, then sanitizer.

Alkalinity keeps your pH stable, so you settle it first. Then pH falls into place more easily, and only then do you balance your sanitizer. Fix things in this order and most beginner frustration disappears.

Start here, in order

Work through these guides one by one. Each one takes just a few minutes.

1. Set up how you sanitize Tell the app whether you use chlorine, bromine, @Ease, or salt, and add your actual products so every recommendation fits your spa. 👉 Choosing and setting your sanitizer

2. Run your first water test Learn how to test your water and enter your results so the app knows where you stand. 👉 Run your first water test

3. Read your results and adjust Understand what your numbers mean and follow the app's step by step actions to bring your water into balance. 👉 Understanding your water results

4. Keep it easy going forward Set a simple weekly rhythm so your water stays clear with minimal effort. 👉 Your weekly water care routine

How the Gecko App helps

Once your sanitizer and products are set, the app does the heavy lifting. It reads your results, tells you what to add and how much, reminds you when a reading is due, and tracks your progress over time. You follow, it guides.

💡 Balanced water is a habit, not a one time task. A few minutes each week keeps your spa clear, safe, and ready whenever you are.
