Read the instructions on your chlorine container carefully, or consult your local Authorized Dimension One Spas dealer if you are having difficulty adjusting your chlorine level. The best chlorine for your spa is a granular “Dichlor” compound. It dis- solves quickly in moving water and has a nearly neutral pH.
2000 Owner’s Manual NOTE: Two individuals in a spa may use as much as 3 ppm of chlorine in 20 minutes. SHOCK TREATMENT (POTASSIUM PEROXYMONOSULFATE) Even with regular sanitization, shock treatment may be necessary on occasion. Shock treatment is recommended over Super Chlorination because it does not add additional sanitizer to the water.
Dimension One Spas Foam Inhibitor will suppress foam but cannot remove soap from water. When foaming occurs, squirt a small amount of Dimension One Spas foam remover to base of foam area. Use only the amount necessary to remove the foam. If foam remains a problem, change the water.
CARE FOR YOUR SP A DRAINING YOUR SPA All Dimension One spas are gravity drained. Do not drain water onto your lawn or plants unless all of the bromine or chlorine has dissipated from the spa water. The sanitizer in your spa water can be dissipated very quickly by leaving the spa cover off and exposing the water to direct sunlight.

Draining and not operating your spa dis- ables this feature. For additional information about winterizing your spa, please contact your local Authorized Dimension One Spas dealer.
