  • Page 76: Balancing Water Chemistry Levels

    Balancing Water Chemistry Levels Balancing Water Chemistry Levels Maintaining spa water chemistry can be tricky, especially since there are many methods of keeping your water clear and clean. Note: We do not recommend a specific brand of chemicals. See a spa dealer for guidance and recommendations on spa chemicals and supplied needed, as water chemistry varies from region to region.

  • Page 77: Balancing The Ph

    Before you fill your spa, you need to decide which chemical sanitizer you wish to use. Consult your Cal Spas dealer for the right decision with regards to your lifestyle and spa usage. We recommend granulated chlorine or bromine as your sanitizer. Both work well when maintained regularly Note: DO NOT USE Trichlor.
  • Page 78 Starting & Maintaining Sanitizer Levels After you choose a sanitizer, you will need to establish a baseline and maintain it regularly. Sanitizing your spa with chlorine or bromine is very similar. Each sanitizer has its advantages and disad- vantages. Sanitizer helps neutralize bacteria that can cause illness and other organic matter. Bromine: Creates less odor and skin irritation than chlorine, bromine is less likely to do so.

  • Page 79: Filtration And Cleaning

    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.

  • Page 81: Common Water Chemistry Questions

    Common Water Chemistry Questions Common Water Chemistry Questions Question : Why is the use of a floater not recommended to sanitize my spa water? Answer: We do not recommend the use of a floater for three reasons: • The floater is unable to control the rate at which the sanitizer is dissolved into the water. When a floater is placed into a spa the sanitizer levels inside the spa can be extremely high.
