SANITIZING

To destroy bacteria and organic compounds in the hot tub water, a sanitizer
must be used regularly. A residual sanitizer level of 1 to 3 ppm (parts per mil-
lion) is generally considered desirable.
Bromine tablets, a two-part bromine system or granular chlorine (dichlor) are
all acceptable sanitizers.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chlorine tablets (trichlor) in your hot tub. This
chemical can have an extremely corrosive effect on certain materials in the
hot tub. Damage caused by use of this chemical, or improper use of any
chemical is not covered under the hot tub's warranty.

OTHER ADDITIVES

Many other additives are available for your hot tub. Some are necessary to
compensate for out-of-balance water, some aid in cosmetic water treatment
and others simply alter the feel or smell of the water. Your pool and hot tub
dealer can advise you on the use of these additives.

WATER SANITIZATION WITH OZONE

The Ozone Water Purification System, available from your Sweetwater hot tub
dealer, is designed to work in conjunction with chemical sanitizers to keep
your hot tub water cleaner, clearer, and fresher, allowing for longer intervals
between drainings.
The Ozone system works by converting oxygen to ozone as air passes through
an enclosed chamber located in the equipment compartment of your hot tub.
When this powerful oxidizer is mixed with the hot tub water, bacteria and con-
taminants are destroyed and organic compounds are reduced to their lowest
elements for removal by the filtration system.
Although your Ozone system will substantially reduce the need for chemical
sanitizers, it is recommended that either bromine or granular chlorine be used
to provide residual germ-killing action when the ozone system is not in oper-
ation. In addition, it is important that the chemical balance be maintained
within the proper parameters for the ozone to provide effectiveness. For more
detailed information about proper use of chemicals consult your local dealer.
Your hot tub has a self-diagnostic control system. The system will automati-
cally display the following if a problem is detected.
SN1 Nonfunctional hi-limit sensor
Open or a short in hi-limit sensor. Heater is deactivated. This must be
repaired by the dealer or qualified service technician.
