Hardness Level; Sanitization, Chlorine / Bromine - La-Z-Boy Spas Dream Owner's Manual

Hardness Level

Once your pH level is proper, test the hardness level of your water with a good quality
test kit. Maintain a hardness of 200 to 400 ppm (mg/L).
A balanced hardness level helps prevent corrosion and scaling.
If the measured hardness level is too low, add calcium chloride to the water. If the
hardness level is too high, partially drain and refill your spa / hot tub with cold tap
water. Follow the directions on the chemical manufacturer's label and make small
changes.
Note: If the hardness level is higher than 400 ppm (mg/L) when initially filling your spa /
hot tub, the hardness level of your tap water may be too high. If so, partially drain your
spa / hot tub. Use a good quality pre-filter to the supply line when refilling it (see page
21).

Sanitization, Chlorine / Bromine

Once your hardness level is proper, it is imperative that you do not use the spa / hot
tub until there is a minimum reading of chlorine or bromine in the water. Maintain a
chlorine or bromine level of 3 to 5 ppm (Mg/L)
Chlorine and bromine are available from your dealer in tablet and granular form.
Tablets or granular products should never be added directly to the spa / hot tub.
Damage and discoloration to the surface may occur. Tablets should always be placed
in a tablet dispenser (not included) and the tablet dispenser then placed into the spa /
hot tub water.
Granular products should be applied to the spa / hot tub water in strict accordance with
the manufacturer's recommendations. Never apply granular chlorine or bromine
products directly to the spa water.
La-Z-Boy Spas strongly recommends the use of our AquaSynergy Water Care
®
products. It significantly reduces the need for chlorine or bromine and makes
managing your spa / hot tub water easy. Ask your La-Z-Boy Spa dealer for
further details.
