The Minéraluxe program is designed to simplify spa maintenance by combining mineral protection, oxidation, and regular disinfection. To keep the water clear and stable, the most important thing is to follow a consistent routine: startup, weekly maintenance, monthly cleaning, and periodic draining.
This guide covers the main maintenance steps for a residential spa using Minéraluxe products.
Starting up a spa with Minéraluxe
- While filling, add the recommended initial dose of Minéraluxe Cubes. For the procedure used in this guide, 2 cubes are added at startup.
- Once the spa is filled, turn on the system and activate circulation to begin heating the water.
- Have the water tested and adjust the parameters according to the recommendations received.
- Let the water circulate for about 2 hours.
- Add Minéraluxe Oxygen. Make sure the pump and filter are running, then leave the cover open for at least one hour after application.
- Then maintain your sanitizer according to the program used in your spa and the directions on the product label.
Tip: Test the sanitizer and pH regularly to avoid letting the water drift for too long between tests.
Weekly spa maintenance
- Add 1 Minéraluxe Cube according to the maintenance routine being used.
- Add Minéraluxe Oxygen by distributing it over the surface of the water.
- Let the water circulate after application and keep the cover open for the recommended period.
- Check the sanitizer level and adjust it as needed.
- Remove the filter cartridge and rinse it with a garden hose.
- Clean the waterline and accessible surfaces to prevent residue buildup.
More intensive spa use may require more frequent adjustments. Always rely on water testing and the instructions on the products.
Monthly spa maintenance
- Have the water tested to check the pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness.
- Deep-clean the cartridges with Minéraluxe Filter Revive.
- Inspect the waterline, the underside of the cover, and areas where residue may accumulate.
When to drain and clean the spa
When draining the spa, take the opportunity to clean not only the visible surfaces, but also the plumbing and filtration system.
- Use Minéraluxe Cleanse & Drain before draining, according to the label instructions.
- Then completely drain the spa.
- Clean the interior surfaces with a suitable product.
- Clean the cartridges with Minéraluxe Filter Revive.
- Rinse thoroughly before refilling.

FAQ about Minéraluxe maintenance
How often should the spa filter be cleaned?
Regular rinsing helps maintain good flow. Periodic deep cleaning with a product designed for cartridges complements this maintenance.
Do I need to have the water tested even if I use Minéraluxe?
Yes. The maintenance program does not replace water testing. Regularly checking the pH, alkalinity, hardness, and sanitizer makes it possible to quickly correct an imbalance.
What should you do before draining the spa?
Cleaning the plumbing with a product such as Minéraluxe Cleanse & Drain helps treat residue in the pipes before completely draining the spa.
A simple routine is better than irregular maintenance
The best way to keep a spa pleasant to use is to maintain a consistent routine. Minéraluxe Cubes, Oxygen, filter cleaning, and regular water testing work together to make maintenance easier week after week.
