Water Chemistry Basics
During the decontamination process, excessive
chemical vapors are produced. Keep children
and pets away from the spa. Wear gloves and a
protective mask during the decontamination
process. Remove the spa cover, all pillows from the
spa and protect the plastic valves. If your spa is
indoors, open the windows and doors. Use a fan to
circulate the air and force the vapors out of the room.
Remove the filter basket assembly and filter.
Before adding chemicals, make
sure all pumps are operable. Check to be sure all jets and air valves are open. Be
certain the diverter valves are in the center position allowing even circulation
through all sections of the spa.
With all pumps on low speed,
add 2.5 ounces of sodium dichlor for every 100
gallons of water in the spa. For example, if there are 400 gallons of water in your
spa, add 10 ounces of sodium dichlor. After all the sodium Di-Chlor has been
added turn all pumps on their highest speed and allow the water to circulate for
one hour. Do not replace the cover over the spa during decontamination. Never
leave the spa unattended while it is uncovered.
After allowing the spa to run for one hour,
turn the GFCI off and drain the spa.
Follow the procedure to refill the spa and add chemicals as needed for proper
water chemistry.
Common Sense Water Chemistry
Without chemicals, the warm water in your spa is the perfect environment for
germs, bacteria and other living organisms. Chemicals added to your spa water
are utilized as they destroy the bacteria from dead skin cells, sweat and other
body fluids. Consistent addition of sanitizers kept at constant levels keep your
water clear and safe to use. The water in your Laguna Bay Spa and your filter
should be replaced every 3 months.
What is required to maintain proper water chemistry
is different in every
spa and for every spa user. Your water chemistry changes constantly. When it’s
warm outside, chemicals evaporate faster than when the weather is cold. Using
the spa once a day will require more chemicals than using the spa once a week.
What it takes to balance your water chemistry in January will be different than
what it takes in July.
The major considerations in water chemistry are:
• The number of gallons of water in the spa
• The number of people using the spa
• The number of hours the spa is being used
