Hints For Successful Water Testing
When using the reagent test kit:
• Always take water samples 30-45 cm (12" - 18") below the water surface.
• Rinse the test cells before and after each use.
• Do not dispose of test samples into the spa water.
• When adding drops of chemicals from the kit (the reagents) into the test block, hold the
bottle vertically and add the drops slowly to be sure the correct quantity is used.
• The reagents should be replaced on a yearly basis to maintain the accuracy of the test
results.
Basic Chemical Safety
When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow directions precisely. Though chemicals protect
you and your spa when used correctly, they can be hazardous in concentrated form. Always observe the
following guidelines:
• ALWAYS KEEP CHEMICALS OUT OF CHILDREN'S REACH.
• NEVER MIX CONCENTRATED CHEMICALS TOGETHER.
• ALWAYS THOROUGHLY RINSE ANY CONTAINER USED TO MIX CHEMICALS
AFTER USE.
• ALWAYS RINSE OUT ANY EMPTY CHEMICAL STORAGE CONTAINER BEFORE
DISPOSAL.
• Accurately measure the quantities specified. Do not overdose your spa. Amount required
will vary depending on water condition, quantities to be used are only guidelines.
• Store chemicals in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
• Always keep chemical containers closed when not in use.
• Don't inhale fumes or allow chemicals to come in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Wash your hands immediately after use.
• Follow the emergency advice on the product label in case of accidental contact.
• Never smoke around chemicals. Some fumes can be flammable.
• Don't store any chemicals in the spa equipment compartment.
Adding Chemicals to the Spa
Most chemicals (does not include any slow dissolving chemicals) can be added directly to the spa while the
pump(s) is running on high speed, for a minimum of 10 minutes.
IMPORTANT WHEN USING ARCTIC PURE ® BOOST OR REFRESH TREAT-
MENT
NOTE:
After administering a super chlorination treatment or non-chlorine shock to your spa, leave the
cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the oxidizer gas to vent. A high
concentration of trapped oxidizer gas which may exist as a result of the shock treatment (not daily sanita-
tion) may eventually cause discoloration or vinyl degradation to the bottom of the cover. This type of dam-
age is considered chemical abuse and is not covered under warranty.

Following the Arctic Pure ® water maintenance program will save you time and frustration and ensure clear,
clean spa water.
