Starting the Spa with Fresh Water

Damage to the spa or spa's components from
improper chemicals or chemical usage is not covered
under the spa's warranty.
Prior to filling a spa for the first time, or after a routine
draining, you will want to follow this start-up plan to
extend water life and performance.
As with all chemical dosages listed in these Clear
Water Plans, start-up dosages are intended for 500-
gallon spas. Please adjust the chemical dosages to
the capacity of your particular spa.
1. Clean the surface of the spa with spa-safe multi-
purpose cleaner.
2. Apply a protective coat of spa-safe "Fast Sheen"
to the acrylic surface.
3. Fill the spa to the proper water level with normal
tap water. (Do not use soft water.)
4. Use test strip and balance the spa water.
• Adjust total alkalinity (acceptable range is
80-120ppm).
• Adjust pH if necessary (between 7.2 to 7.8).
Water level is very important to the operation of your spa . If the water level
is too low or too high, your spa will not operate properly . The water level
should be about six inches from the top when the spa is not being used .

5. Pour in 16 oz of "Metal Protector" in the center
of the spa.
6. Add Stain and Scale Prevention.
7. Add either chlorine or bromine (but not both).
Chlorine: Add two tablespoons of spa "Chorine
Granules" to the spa water.
Bromine: Add 2 oz of "Go Brom" or sodium bromide
to establish a bromine base.
Add 2 spa bromine tablets to the bromine
floater.
Set floater opening at #2.
8. Turn on jets for 15 minutes. Leave spa uncovered
during this time.
9. Put cover on spa and allow to heat up to desired
temperature.
