Why Chemicals Are Important In A Spa - Master Spas Legend LSX700 Owner's Manual

WHY ARE CHEMICALS IMPORTANT IN A SPA
1. evaporation:
As water evaporates, only pure water evaporates, leaving the salts, minerals, metals, and any
unused chemicals behind. Adding water adds more salts, minerals, and metals. In time, the water
can become saturated with these dissolved solids and can cause stains or scale to form on the
walls of the spa or a scale build up inside the equipment. Colored or cloudy water, and possible
corrosion of plumbing and fittings may also occur.
2. heat:
Heat causes much quicker evaporation and also will cause minerals and metals to precipitate
out of solution.
3. air:
Dust and airborne dirt particles are introduced into the spa.
4. environment:
The environment surrounding the spa can also impact the water quality. Items such as pollen,
grass, sand, dirt, lawn fertilizer, airborne dust, insects, leaves, and pets can all affect the water
quality of the spa.
Remember:
The maintenance routines set forth in this manual may need to be adjusted depending on how much
the spa is being used.
