We recommend either bromine or chlorine as your sanitizer. Both work well when maintained regularly.
NOTE: DO NOT use trichlor. Trichlor is very acidic and the hot temperature of the spa causes it to dissolve
too quickly. It will cause damage to your spa and will void your warranty.
Whichever plan you decide on, follow it completely and don’t take shortcuts. It will provide you with clean,
safe, clear spa water with minimal effort. Spa owners with an ozonator still need to use a chemical sanitizer.
See page

works.

If you choose to use chlorine as a sanitizer, only use
granulated chlorine, not liquid chlorine.
Once a week, check the chlorine level using either a
test strip or a reagent kit. See the table on the right for
the ideal range.
Add one or two tablespoons granulated chlorine to
the spa water weekly. Note that chlorine dissipation
rate will be faster at higher water temperatures and
slower at lower temperatures.
When you add chlorine, open all of the jets and run
Bromine is a very effective sanitizer that produces
low chemical orders. Unlike chlorine, it can break
down bacteria and other impurities to a safe level
with a low burn-out rate.
Use granulated sodium bromide to establish your
bromine base.
When you begin with fresh water, add two ounces of
granulated bromide. Open all of the jets and run the
spa at high speed with the cover open for at least 30
minutes.
In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will
periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the
water helps removed burned-out chemicals , bacteria,
and other organic material from your spa’s water and
improves your sanitizer’s effectiveness.
Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage
your spa’s jets and pump seals. Only use an oxidizer
shock. It can be used with either chlorine or
bromine sanitizers.
