ONE – Ozone is a powerful gas that is used as a sanitizer and an oxidant to
keep spa water clean and disinfected. Although ozone is about 3000 times more
powerful than chlorine, it has a tendency to dissipate quickly and does not create
any sanitizer residual. By using an ozonator for your spa, you can cut
maintenance time and chemical costs by as much as 75%. Ozone is
manufactured by an ozonator (ozone generator) and is dispensed during the
filtration mode.
pH Controllers
SODIUM BICARBONATE - Commonly used to increase pH and total alkalinity of
spa water. Sodium bicarbonate is also known as natural baking soda.
SODIUM CARBONATE – Also known as soda ash, is a substance used to raise pH
and total alkalinity.
SODIUM BISULFATE – Also known as dry acid, the chemical used to lower pH
and total alkalinity of spa water.
Water Conditioners
FLOCCULENT – A compound which clarifies spa water by gathering oils, dirt,
scum, metal deposits and small contaminant particles into larger globules, which
then can be easily trapped in the filtering system allowing the filtering system to
work more effectively.
CLARIFIER – A compound used to remove dissolved solids, metals, dirt, oils,
or other contaminants from spa and pool water.
SCUM BALL™ – A softball sized ball that is kept in the water. The ball is
chemically treated so that it attracts contaminants that would normally be
trapped in the filter.
SEQUESTERING AGENT – Stain & scale preventing compounds that sequester
dis-solved metals to prevent water discoloration.
CALCIUM CHLORIDE – A soluble white compound used to raise the calcium
hard-ness of spa & pool water, to protect equipment from corrosion.
ALGAECIDE – A chemical used to kill algae and prevent it from growing back.
DEFOAMER – A compound used to reduce or eliminate foaming in spa
water. Products containing Chitin do this naturally.
CHITIN – A naturally occurring polymer (pronounced KY-tin) found in crab
and lobster shells. As a spa clarifier, it is the best flocculating agent available.
Removes oils, dirt, scum, and metal deposits and allows the filtering system to
work more effectively.
How To Use The Chemicals
Now that you have some knowledge about spa chemicals, you will learn how
to use those chemicals to maintain balanced water in your spa. This section will
ex-plain how to apply chemicals, how much to use, and when to use them.
