WARNING:
Sanitizers such as Tri-chlor (tablets or sticks), calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, peroxide based
chemicals or any chemical compound that remains undeserved in direct contact or adheres to the spa surface will
damage the spa and void the warranty.
Bromine
:
Maintaining a proper total bromine level of 3.0-5.0 PPM can control bacteria. Tablets are easy to use and
effective. Brominating tablets will keep your water clean, clear and odor-free. A bromine ―floater‖ dispenses the
tablets properly and evenly into the spa water to avoid damage to the spa surface. Do not drop bromine tablets
directly into the water. Allow for a bromide reserve by adding 1/2 oz. of sodium bromide per 100 gal of water
every time you fill your spa.
Chlorine
Chlorine is also a water sanitizer. It is sensitive to pH. Any pH reading outside of the optimum range of 7.2-7.6
will reduce the effectiveness of chlorine.
The best chlorine for your spa is a granular ―Dichloride‖ compound. It dissolves quickly in moving water and
has a nearly neutral pH. For severely contaminated water, it is most effective to drain the spa and refill it with
clean water. Add chlorine while jets are running and let them run for 1/2 hour. Or disinfect the spa with large
chlorine dosed, in the range of 8-10 PPM.
Use a chlorine test kit or strips to maintain a reading of 1.0-3.0 PPM of free chlorine. If the reading is below 1
PPM, raise the level before using the spa. If the reading is above 3 PPM, allow PPM to drop to proper range
before using the spa.
To increase the effectiveness of the chlorine, leave the protective cover on your spa. Leaving the cover off may
result in decay of the chlorine by exposure to sunlight and reduce the effectiveness of the chlorine by organic
debris deposits. Higher water temperatures also promote fast decay of chlorine.
Note:
Two individuals in a spa may reduce the level of chlorine as much as 3 PPM in 20 minutes. Read the
instructions on your chlorine container carefully, or consult your local spa dealer if you are having difficulty
adjusting your chlorine level.
Shock Treatments (Potassium Peroxymonosulfate):
Even with regular sanitization the need for shock treatment may arise. Shock is recommended over super
chlorination because it does not require additional sanitizer. Shock is also effective in oxidizing wastes and
reducing chloramines or bromamines. Follow the manufactures instructions listed on the label.
