  • Page 43 Note: If you choose to use bromine or chlorine we do not recommend the use of a floater. You have more control over the sanitizer levels by adding sanitizer as needed. Chemical abuse will void your warranty.
  • Page 44 Shocking the Water In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria, and other organic material from your spa’s water and im- proves your sanitizer’s effectiveness. Do not use chlorinating shock, which can damage the spas jets and pump seals.
