MAINTAINING YOUR SPA cont...
CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF WATER
Water from your tap is ne for showers, bathing and drinking. However,
in a contained recirculating system such as in a spa, water must be
treated with chemicals. The main purpose of chemical treatment is to
keep the water sanitary and to maintain a specic balance of the water.
Proper balance ensures that the water will not cause irritation to the us-
ers or harm the spa’s components. Chemical treatment does have its
limitations. When water evaporates, chemical residues are left behind.
As the levels of the residues combine with other types of residue, such
as body oil and detergents, your water becomes increasingly difcult
to maintain. Because of this residual effect, at some point it becomes
easier and more cost-effective to drain, clean and rell your spa with
new water. We recommend that the water be changed at least every
six months. At this time you should also clean or replace your lters. If
your spa has a frequent and/or heavy bather load, it may be necessary
to drain and ll your spa more often. Refer to the section titled “Draining
your spa” for instructions (page 28).
