Cleaning Your Spa Water
You need to keep your spa clean and ready to use. When you enter your spa,
you bring in as much contamination as 50 people would in a normal size
swimming pool! Because your spa is such a small, enclosed environment, it
needs to be a sanitary place. We accomplish this with a simple three step
process:
1) Balance
2) Filtration
3) Sanitation
The water that comes from your tap at home is fine for showers or bathing,
because it is drained immediately after use. In a spa, your water is used for up
to three months. Hot water is a breeding ground for bacteria, so sanitizing
becomes necessary, as well as maintaining a specific mineral balance.Having
that mineral balance in place ensures that the water, which is naturally
corrosive to metal, will not cause damage to the spa equipment. We
recommend weekly water testing.
KEEPING YOUR SPA WATER CLEAN & FRESH
NOTE!
WARNING!
Filling Spa With Water
When filling the spa, use 2 ounces of SODIUM BROMIDE to create a bromide
reserve. When using BROMINATING TABLETS in a floating dispenser, two to
three tablets will treat up to 500 gallons of water. For a chlorine system, use
CHLORINATING GRANULES (1/2 oz. per 500 gallons).
WARNING: Please be careful with chemicals - damage to the
surface of the spa can occur due to the improper use of chemicals
such as trichlor or chlorine, chemical tablets, acids or spa
cleaners. Do not let undissolved chemicals lie on the surface of
the spa. Damage from chemical misuse is not covered under
warranty. Improper water chemistry balance can damage the spa
surfaces and/or equipment, and is not covered under your
warranty.
WARNING: Maintain water chemistry in accordance with test kit
instructions.
