FAILURE TO GET A SANITIZER READING ON
TEST STRIP
C: Sanitizer level is too low.
S: Add bromine until the sanitizer registers in the
recommended range on the test strip.

it is added. Add more bromine until the sanitizer
registers and stays in the recommended range
on the test strip.

has been added.
S: Sanitizer level is extremely high. It can bleach
the reagents on the test strip and give a false
reading. (See below.)
TOO MUCH SANITIZER IN THE WATER

the spa.

control. Allow jets to run for 30 minutes. Test
water with a Water Test Strip to see if desired
level has been reached.
EYE OR SKIN IRRITATION

chloramines/bromamines in water.
