• Occasional chemical shock dosing of the pool or spa water should not damage the
heater providing the water is balanced.
• Automatic chemical dosing devices and salt chlorinators are usually more efficient
in heated water, unless controlled, they can lead to excessive chlorine level which
can damage your heater.
• Further advice should be obtained from your pool or spa builder, accredited pool
shop, or chemical supplier for the correct levels for your water.
