CLEANING & CARE
Spa water
Protect all the spa occupants from possible water related illnesses by keeping the spa water
clean and sanitised. Always practice good hygiene. Ensure spa water quality by following
these procedures:
• Change the spa water every 3–5 days depending on spa use. If dirt is visible in the
water, or the water becomes cloudy and proper water chemistry does not clear it up,
change the water and clean the spa tub. See the "Spa Tub Cleaning" section for
further instructions.
• Use spa chemicals to maintain proper water conditions. Consult with your local spa or
pool retailer for more information on chemical use.
• All occupants must shower before entering the spa. Do not use skin care products or
sunscreen while using the spa.
Water sanitation
The spa owner must regularly check and keep the spa water sanitised with scheduled
maintenance (daily, if necessary). Adding sanitiser or other chemicals will control bacteria
and virus reproduction in the spa water. The maintenance of a proper water balance through
appropriate use of sanitisers is the most important factor in maximising the life and
appearance of the spa as well as ensuring clean, healthy, and safe water.
Proper technique is important for water testing and treating the spa water. See your spa
professional for questions on chemicals, sanitisers, test kits, and testing procedures.
Water treatment:
• Always follow the chemical manufacturer's directions and the health and hazard
warnings.
• Never mix different chemicals. Add the chemicals to the spa water separately.
Thoroughly dissolve each chemical before adding the next one to the water.
• IMPORTANT: Chlorine and bromine products should never be mixed. This is extremely
dangerous. If you usually use chlorine-based products and want to switch to bromine-
based products or vice versa, it is mandatory to completely change the spa water
before any product changes.
• Do not add chemicals if the spa is occupied. This can cause skin or eye irritation.
• Do not overuse the chemicals or use concentrated chlorine. This can damage the spa
tub and cause potential harm to your skin.
