MARQUIS SPA CARE

IMPORTANT CHEMICAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
1 Always keep chemicals out of reach of children.
2. Read product labels carefully prior to use.
3. When dissolving, always add chemicals to water; do not add water to
chemicals. Some dry chemicals should be dissolved prior to adding them to
the spa. Dip some water from the spa using a clean container. Mix until
dissolved then add to circulating water.
4. CAUTION: Do not add chemicals together; add them separately to the spa
water.
5. All chemical products should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
where the average temperature does not exceed 32°C. Keep storage area
clean of debris such as rags, newspaper, and combustible materials.
6. Keep chemicals away from open flame or other heat source. Do not smoke
near chemicals. If a dry chlorine chemical fire should occur, use water only.
Do not use a dry chemical fire extinguisher to attempt to put out the fire.
7. When adding chemicals, always keep the water circulating in the spa with
jets in a downward circular pattern for better chemical distribution. Add
chemicals to the spa water one at a time. Allow several minutes between
any new chemical additions using the jet action to evenly distribute
throughout the spa.
8. It is important to leave the spa cover open for 20-30 minutes while shock
treating your spa to avoid damage. Do not leave spa unattended while
cover is open. Damage such as discoloration or brittle vinyl due to chemical
damage is not covered under the warranty.
9. After adding chemicals, wait the amount of time recommended on the
chemical container before retesting your water for an accurate reading.
Retest your spa water before using.
10. If you have any questions or concerns about the correct procedures for
handling chemicals, please contact your authorized Marquis Spas® dealer.
WATER CARE
There are three things necessary for clean safe water:
1. CIRCULATE: Water has to be circulated regularly; it can not be stagnant.
2. FILTER: Water has to be filtered to remove particulate and debris.
3. SANITIZE: Water has to be sanitized to kill organisms like algae, bacteria
and virus.
It is critical to maintain proper water balance to protect the spa heater and other
components from damage. Damage to the spa surface and equipment caused
by poor chemical or harsh chemical treatment is not covered under the warranty.
Discoloration of jet faces, valves and controls are an indication of poor chemical
maintenance or exposure to the sun.
Jet inserts and valves do not qualify for labor coverage. These parts can be
purchased or exchanged under warranty at your authorized Marquis Spas
dealer. Gaskets and seals are not covered under the warranty.
