4. Once your water has reached the set temperature, add
your choice of sanitizer, bromine or chlorine. The importance
of maintaining an adequate level of sanitizer in your spa can
not be overemphasized. Warm water presents a fertile envi-
ronment for the growth of bacteria and viruses. This growth
is prevented when adequate sanitizer levels are continuous-
ly maintained.

1. Sanitizer - check to insure sanitizer level is at the right
range. Add sanitizer when necessary.
2. Add a sequestering agent to prevent scaling and staining.
3. Add a flocculent to spa water. This will quickly clean and
brighten hazy, cloudy water caused by microcontaminants in
the water that are too small for the filter to remove.
4. If you are using bromine or chlorine tablets, it is also rec-
ommended to add a shock treatment on a fresh fill and week-
ly thereafter. If the spa has had high use during the week, an
additional shock treatment would be required.
*Note: When adding a shock treatment, please insure the spa cover
is left off the spa at least 30 minutes, to allow the “gassing off”
process. It also saves wear and tear on your spa cover.
5. You may occasionally need to use a small amount of ANTI
FOAM to reduce foaming and sudsing should it occur. Soap
residue will cause foaming - rinse out bathing suits well.
CONDUCTING PROPER WATER TESTS
1. Total alkalinity is the key to water balance. Always adjust
total alkalinity first, and then pH.
WARNING
Sanitizers such as Sodium
Tri-chlor type chlorine (tablets/sticks), calci-
um hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, or
any chemical that may remain undissolved
on the spa surface will damage your spa
and will void the warranty completely.
