ShoCK
Initial treatment
Shock the vessel using granular Chlorine Sanitizer or non-chlorine 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 estab-
lish a residual of sanitizer.
maintenance treatment
Once bacteria and other wastes are neutralized by the sanitizer, they stay
in the water unless oxidized or shocked. Often called chloramines or bro-
mamines, they create dull, cloudy water and can cause odor and eye or
skin irritation. Shock treatment rids your vessel of these wastes for clear,
vesselrkling water. Shocking with non-chlorine Spa Shock or granular
Chlorine Sanitizer is recommended once a week or whenever the water
appears dull or cloudy or has a strong odor. Non-chlorine Spa Shock al-
lows use of the vessel 15 minutes after shock treatment.
note: A strong bromine or chlorine odor typically indicates the vessel
needs to be shocked – not that there is too much bromine or chlorine in
the water. A properly balanced vessel that is shocked regularly will not
have an odor.
SanItIZe
ConstantClean™ System
The ConstantClean™ system utilizes a combination of sanitizers to in-
crease water quality and significantly decrease maintenance. The factory
installed ozonator greatly reduces the amount of sanitizer required.
note: Due to recommended temperature of the water in an ATV™ unit,
Chlorine is more compatible with the ATV™ system than most bromine
systems. Biguanides should not be used. Damage to the vessel shell and
other internal components can occur.

Sanitizer
Maintain 1 - 2 ppm of bromine at all times.

Spa Shock
Sanitizer combines with bacteria and neutralizes sanitizer/bacteria on
contact. However, the used sanitizer/bacteria particle is still present in
the vessel water. Used sanitizer in the water emits an odor and causes
cloudy water. To oxidize, or rid the vessel of this used sanitizer, you must
shock the vessel once a week. note: Additional shocking may be nec-
essary if the vessel is under heavy use.
