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 improves
your sanitizer's effectiveness.
Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa's jets and pump seals. The only shock you should
use is Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock. It is an easy way to maintain either chlorine or bromine chemical plans.
For best results use the directions below.
Add one ounce of Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock:
• Once a week
• After heavy bather loads
• If water has a strong odor
Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for 30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat
oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.
