imPortant cHemical saFetY ProceDures
1. Always keep chemicals out of reach of children.
2. Read product labels carefully prior to use.
3. 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 spa. Using a clean container, dip some water from the
spa. Mix until dissolved, then add to circulating water.
4. caution: Do not mix chemicals together. Add them separately to
the spa water.
5. All chemical products should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area where the average temperature does not exceed 90°F (32°C).
Keep storage area clean of debris such as rags, newspaper, and com-
bustible materials.
6. Keep chemicals away from open flame or other heat source. Do not
smoke near chemicals. If a dry chlorine chemical fire should occur, use
water only. Do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to attempt to
put out the fire.
7. When adding chemicals, always keep the water circulating in the spa
with jets in a downward circular pattern for better chemical distribution.
Add chemicals to the spa water one at a time. Allow several minutes
between any new chemical additions using the jet action to evenly
distribute throughout the spa.
8. After adding chemicals, wait the amount of time recommended on
the chemical container before retesting your water for an accurate
reading. Retest your spa water before using.
9. If you have any questions or concerns about the correct procedures
for handling chemicals, please contact your authorized dealer.

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 particulate and debris.
3. SANITIZE: Water has to be sanitized to kill organisms like algae,
bacteria and virus.
The control system in your spa will automatically circulate and filter. (See
SPA CONTROL OPERATION.) The sanitation requires minimal effort if
done consistently and properly.
To sanitize spa water, three things are required:
1. BALANCE: The water must be balanced so the sanitizer can work and
spa equipment is protected.
2. SHOCK: Shock to oxidize organics and maximize sanitizer efficiency.
3. SANITIZE: Maintain a proper level of sanitizer at all times.
