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 gallons of spa water.
•
Four teaspoons of GRANULAR BROMINE per 200 gallons of spa water.
•
Five teaspoons of a NON-CHLORINE SHOCK per 200 gallons of spa water.
Note 1:
With above-average use, Super-Sanitation may be required more than once per week.
Note 2:
With ozone, it may not be necessary to shock on a weekly basis (see your dealer).
Stain & Scale Control:
Use a STAIN & SCALE INHIBITOR as per the instructions on the manufacturer's label. Do not
add this chemical until 3-4 days after Super-Sanitation.
Foam Control:
As needed, use a FOAM REMOVER as per the instructions on the manufacturer's label.
Cloudy Water Prevention & Control:
Use a WATER CLARIFIER as per the instructions on the manufacturer's label.
Do not add this chemical until 3-4 days after Super-Sanitation.
WATER CHEMISTRY TROUBLESHOOTING
Prior to each spa use, check the spa water. If the water appears cloudy or off-color, has significant surface foam or
smells of chlorine/bromine, then there is a problem with the water and it needs to be treated or drained. Using the
spa in these conditions could result in a skin rash or other irritation.
For assistance in handling spa water chemistry problems, consult your authorized Bullfrog Portable Spa Dealer or
another service center capable of performing a Computerized Water Analysis.
CHANGING YOUR SPA WATER
Depending on usage, your spa water will need to be changed approximately every 2-4 months or whenever your
spa water becomes difficult to manage.
