SEQUESTERANTS
(AGENTS FOR CONTROLLING STAINS AND SCALE):
A weekly dose of Dimension One Spas -- Sequestrant should help minimize staining caused by metals, and
scale caused by excessive Calcium (over 500 ppm). Dimension One Spas -- Sequestrant should be added to
the water upon initial fill or whenever changing the water. This will suspend metals and Calcium in the water
and increase the life of the equipment.
Another option for reducing metals present in source water is to use Dimension One Spas -- Spa
Water Pre-filter Conditioner. This two-stage filter/conditioner effectively reduces metals
(activated charcoal filter) and kills bacteria (Vision) found in source water. It is effective for
approximately 3200 gallons of water and can also be used whenever topping off the Aquatic
Fitness System’s water level.
FOAM REMOVER:
Soap residue from a bather’s body, hair, and swimsuit combined with rapid circulation of hot water may
eventually cause foaming in an Aquatic Fitness System. Dimension One Spas -- Foam Remover will
suppress foam but cannot remove soap from the water. When foaming occurs, add a small amount of
Dimension One Spas -- Foam Remover to the base of foam area. Use only the amount necessary to
remove the foam. If foam remains a problem, change the water.
Excessive foaming can be an indication that water Hardness is below 200 ppm. Test and, if
necessary, raise Hardness with Dimension One Spas -- Liquid Hardness Increaser. Rinsing
swimsuits thoroughly with fresh water after laundering will also help reduce foaming by minimizing
the introduction of laundry detergents into the water.
