CHEMICAL MAINTENANCE
GUIDELINES
There are ce1iain variables to proper chemical application in spas. This information, as it
states, is to be used as a general guideline. Your spa dealer or service center will assist
you with properly detailed reconm1endations and instructions.
NOTE: IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT pH, TOTAL ALKALINITY AND CALCIUM HARDNESS
LEVELS BE PROPERLY MAINTAINED. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN PROPER LEVELS
WILL DAMAGE YOUR SPAS EQUIPMENT AND MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
I::(>
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions with any chemical application.
I::(>
If
you are to dilute a chemical, always add the chemical to the water, never the water
to the chemical.
I::(>

I::(>
A void contact with skin.
I::(>
Always add chemicals with pump in operation. Leave pump running for 30 minutes.
NOTE: USING A GOOD CHEMICAL TEST KIT RECOMMENDED BY YOUR DEALER IS
ESSENTIAL FOR PROPER WATER CARE. ALSO, CHANGING YOUR WATER ON A
REGULAR BASIS IS A VERY INEXPENSIVE CHEMICAL TREATMENT.

Sanitation is the process of killing bacteria, algae and other organisms that will multiply in water.
Several methods of sanitation are available - Organic Bromine or Chlorine. Consult your dealer.
Always be sure to read and understand chemical instructions.
pH CONTROL
~
pH is the measure of the relative acid/base content of the water.
~ If the pH indicator is below
7.4, your water is too acidic and may con-ode your
spa equipment and/or cause in-itation to bathers.
~ If the pH indicator is
above 7.6, the water is too basic and may result in
cloudiness and a scale fonnation in the spa. High pH also reduces the
effectiveness of chlorine as a sanitizer.
~
Proper pH control is essential.
