sion resulting in personal injury. If the bath has recently been filled with
water, ensure the inside of the drain tube is dry prior to filling the bath
with salt.
• When immersing any object in the bath, ensure that you are not introduc-
ing anything into the bath that will react with the bath salt. Ensure that
probes are DRY and free of contaminants. Read the MSDS (Material
