2. When your spa is completely filled with water, add
the prescribed dose of a WATER CLARIFIER. This will
clear the water of any micro-particulates that came with
the new water.
3. If possible, have your authorized Bullfrog Spa Dealer
test the Calcium Hardness (CH) of your spa water and
adjust as per your dealer's recommendation (the correct
level of CH depends on your overall water conditions).
4. Test and adjust the Total Alkalinity (TA) to the range
of 125-150 PPM (parts per million).
5. Test and adjust the pH to the range of 7.4-7.6.
6. After the spa water has circulated for approximately
one hour, add 1/2 teaspoon of GRANULAR CHLORINE or
1 teaspoon of GRANULAR BROMINE per each 200
gallons of spa water. After several hours, check
sanitizer level and, if necessary, adjust to the following:
Without Ozone With Ozone
Chlorine Level: 2.0 PPM 1.0 PPM
Bromine Level: 3.0 PPM 2.0 PPM
Important:
Unless you have ozone, do not use the spa
if the sanitizer level is below 1.0.
Start-up water chemistry is now complete. However, it
may take several days for the filter to completely clear
the water.
MAINTAINING SPA WATER
Sanitizer and pH Levels:
It is important to test and adjust the sanitizer and pH
levels of your spa on a frequent basis. If your spa is
used 0-3 times weekly, then we recommend that you
test your spa water a minimum of 2-3 times that week.
For each additional use you should test your spa water
one additional time.
Always test the pH level before you test the sanitizer
level. If the pH level is not in the range of 7.4-7.6, then
make the necessary adjustment. Use the dosage
prescribed on the label.
With each sanitizer test, use either GRANULAR BROMINE
or GRANULAR CHLORINE to maintain the following
levels:
Without Ozone With Ozone
Chlorine Level: 2.0 PPM 1.0 PPM
Bromine Level: 3.0 PPM 2.0 PPM
To maintain the above sanitizer level with CHLORINE or
BROMINE TABLETS, please refer to your authorized
Bullfrog Portable Spa Dealer for assistance.
Super-Sanitation:
Once per week, and when the spa is not in use, Super-
Sanitize the spa water by adding one of the following:
•
Two teaspoons of GRANULAR CHLORINE per 200
