  • Page 54 VECTOR21 SPA CARE GUIDE IMPORTANT CHEMICAL SAFETY PROCEDURES Always keep chemicals out of reach of children. Read product labels carefully prior to use. When dissolving, always add chemicals to water, do not add water to chemicals. Some dry chemicals should be dissolved prior to adding them to the vessel.
  • Page 55 VECTOR21 SPA CARE GUIDE WATER CARE There are three things necessary for clean, safe water: 1. CIRCULATE: Water has to be circulated regularly; it can not be stagnant. 2. FILTER: Water has to be filtered to remove particulates and debris.
  • Page 56 VECTOR21 SPA CARE GUIDE Calcium Hardness Do not use soft water in your spa. It is critical to have calcium in your water. The ideal range of calcium is between 150 – 250 ppm. The calcium hard- ness is normally adjusted when filling or refilling after draining the spa. High calcium levels can cause scale buildup on spa surfaces and equipment.
  • Page 57 VECTOR21 SPA CARE GUIDE Total Alkalinity Alkalinity acts as a buffer to prevent the pH from changing as other sub- stances are added to the water. Stability of the pH is directly related to the alkalinity. The alkalinity should be between 80 - 140 ppm. Alkalinity below 80 ppm makes it difficult to stabilize the pH.
  • Page 58 SPA CARE & E NJOY MENT GUIDE SHOCK Initial Treatment Shock the vessel using granular Chlorine Sanitizer Spa Shock. Add directly to the vessel per the instructions on the container. For the initial treatment, Chlorine Sanitizer is preferred as it will also establish a residual of sanitizer.
