CHLORINE (SODIUM DICHLORO-S-TRIAZINETRIONE):
Chlorine can be used as a water sanitizer for Aquatic Fitness Systems. However, it is pH sensitive. To be
effective, a Aquatic Fitness System's pH range must be maintained between 7.2 – 7.8. pH levels above 7.8
reduce Chlorine's efficiency and pH levels below 7.2 causes Chlorine to dissipate rapidly.
The best Chlorine for Aquatic Fitness Systems is granular "Di-Chlor" (Sodium Dichloro-s-triazinetrione),
such as Dimension One Spas – Concentrated Chlorine Granules. It dissolves quickly in moving water and
has a pH of 6. Be sure to add Chlorine while the jets are running and let the jets run on high speed for at
least 5 minutes.
Use Dimension One Spas – Spa Test Strips to maintain a reading of 1 – 3 ppm of Chlorine. If the reading is
below 1 ppm, the level should be raised before the Aquatic Fitness System is used. If the reading is above
3 ppm, it should be allowed to drop to the proper range before use. Read the instructions on the Dimension
One Spas – Concentrated Chlorine Granules container carefully, or consult with an authorized
Dimension One Spas Dealer if having difficulty adjusting the Chlorine level.
Shocking Chlorine sanitized Aquatic Fitness System water at least once a week will help keep
water clean, clear, and odor free by reducing the build-up of "Chloramines".
Never use Trichloro or Calcium Hypochlorite.
SHOCK TREATMENT (POTASSIUM MONOPERSULFATE):
Even with regular sanitization, "shocking" with non-chlorine Dimension One Spas – Shock Treatment is still
necessary. "Shocking" with non-Chlorine, Dimension One Spas – Shock Treatment is recommended over
"shocking" with Chlorine (also known as "super chlorination") because it does not add additional sanitizer to
the water. "Shocking" quickly oxidizes contaminants and burns out body waste such as perspiration, hair
spray, lotions, etc. that cannot be removed by the filter. This waste build-up reduces the power of the
sanitizer making the water dull and irritating to the eyes and skin. This waste build-up may also produce an
unpleasant odor. "Shocking" is also effective in reducing Chloramines. Follow the instructions listed on the
label of Chloramines.
Helpful guidelines for shock treatment:
1.
If using Aquatic Fitness System 1 – 3 times a week – shock the Aquatic Fitness System with
1oz. per 100 gallons once per week.
2.
If using Aquatic Fitness System 4 – 6 times a week – shock the spa with 1oz. per 100 gallons
twice per week.
To maximize the effectiveness of shocking with non-chlorine Dimension One Spas -- Shock
Treatment we recommend shocking at least 24 hours ahead of, or 24 hours after adding any
other chemicals.
