Water Treatment Guide; Sanitizing Your Spa; Initial Start-Up - Sunrise spas Spas Owner's Manual

WATER TREATMENT GUIDE

Bacteria can enter your spa water through the fill source, the bathers, and the environment. It is
the responsibility of the spa owner to chemically treat the spa water in accordance with the local
standards. Cross contamination between bathers can occur.
Your dealer or local pool and spa professional can provide expert testing along with all the
products you will need for clear, clean, healthy spa water. Follow their instructions.
Untreated water is not only uncomfortable to relax in; it poses a health hazard to all bathers and
a safety hazard to the equipment.
Equipment and surface damage caused by poor water treatment and/or unbalanced spa water is
not covered under warranty.

SANITIZING YOUR SPA

IMPORTANT: * Your dealer may be promoting a water treatment system that does not
employ part of all of the general water care instructions below. This guide is designed to
give the spa owner a basic understanding of spa water treatment.* When in doubt, follow the
recommendations of your dealer. It is recommended that you have your source water tested by your
dealer or local testing agency before the first fill. Knowing the characteristics of your source water can
help you maintain clean and clear spa water on a regular basis.
