Decontamination Procedure
Steps 1-7 below are only required when sanitizer levels are unstable
after performing Spa Fill Up Procedures steps 1-6. Disregard steps 1-7
below if sanitizer levels remain stable after performing steps 1-6 above
(refer to the inside cover of the manual).
1. Add 2.5 ounces of sodium dichlor for every 100 gallons of water.
Refer to the table below for approximate water fill volume by model.
CAUTION: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR SPA DAMAGE!
!
Never add chlorine tablets (trichlor) or acid to your hot tub for
any reason! These chemicals may damage components within
your hot tub, burn or irritate your skin, create a rash, and void
the manufacturer warranty for your spa.

2. Leave spa cover open during this step to allow
excessive chemical vapors to exit spa, protecting pillows
and plastic knobs from chemical attack. If spa is indoors,
open doors and windows for proper ventilation. Turn on
all spa jet pumps for 1 hour, open all air controls, and
place all massage selector knob(s) in their center "combo" position.
Note: You will need to activate the jet pumps every 20 minutes since
these functions have an automatic 20-minute time-out that turns them off.
WARNING:
!
• To decrease the risk of injury, drowning or entrapment,
never leave your hot tub unattended for any reason while
the cover is open and accessible, especially to small chil-
dren and animals!
• Precautions should be taken to minimize your exposure
to chemical vapors (that could cause lung, brain, or skin
damage).
3. Turn off power to the spa at the circuit breaker, then drain tub as
outlined in Section 13.2 (page 55).
4. Refill spa with clean tap water from garden hose until water covers
all jets but does not touch the bottom of the lowest headrest with all
headrests in their lowest position (DO NOT OVERFILL!)
