Note: Super Sanitation may be required more than once per week for heavy
usage. With ozone, it may not be necessary to shock the water on a weekly
basis, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer for more information.
Total Alkalinity (TA): Total alkalinity (TA) is the quantitative measure-
ment of alkaline components (carbonates and bicarbonates) present in water
to act as a buffer against rapid pH changes. Proper total alkalinity levels are
important to ensure optimal chemical balance in spas. Low TA can cause pH
to be unstable. To correct low TA, add a Total Alkalinity Increaser. High TA
can cause the water to be scale forming, cloudy and corrosive to the spa and its
components, as well as other pH related problems. If the spa water has high
TA, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer.
Calcium Hardness (CH): Calcium Hardness (CH) is the measure of dis-
solved calcium in the water. Low CH (soft water) can stain the spa surface as
well as cause corrosion to the spa and its equipment. To correct low CH, add a
Calcium Hardness Increaser. High CH (hard water) can cause cloudy water as
well as rough scale build-up on the spa surface and equipment. If the spa water
has high CH, contact your authorized Bullfrog Spa dealer.
Stain and Scale Control: Stain and scale problems are common in hot water
environments. To help prevent and control staining and scaling, use a Stain
and Scale Inhibitor per the manufacturer’s instructions. Add Stain and Scale
Inhibitor 3-4 days after Super Sanitation.
Foam Control: Spa water that is polluted with body oils, lotions and soap
residue combined with high water temperatures can cause excessive foaming
on the water’s surface. For a temporary fix add a Foam Remover as per the
manufacturer’s instructions. The best way to control foam is to super chlorinate
the water; this will destroy the soap agents that normal levels of sanitizer will
not. Add 2 tablespoons per 100 gallons (454.6l).
Cloudy Water Prevention and Control: There are two basic reasons that spa
water becomes cloudy. First, non-filterable liquid waste (e.g. perspiration) has
contaminated the water. To remove these substances, Super Sanitize the water.
Second, non-filterable micro-particulate waste (e.g. dust) has contaminated
the water. To remove these substances use a Water Clarifier as per the manu-
facturer’s instructions.
Water Chemistry Troubleshooting
Prior to each spa use, check the water. If the water appears cloudy, off color,
has significant surface foam, or smells of excessive chlorine/bromine, the water
needs to be treated or drained. Using the spa in these conditions could result
in a skin rash or other irritations.
For assistance in handling spa water chemistry, contact your authorized Bull-
frog Spa dealer or another service center capable of performing a computer-
ized water analysis.
