• The water may become irritating to spa users.
• The spa’s equipment may corrode.
If the pH is too low, it can be increased by adding sodium hydrogen carbonate to the spa water.
D. If the pH level is too high, the following may result:
• The sanitizer is less effective.
• Scale will form on the spa shell surface and the equipment.
• The water may become cloudy.
• The filter cartridge pores may become obstructed.
If the pH is too high, it can be decreased by adding sodium bisulfate to the spa water.
NOTE:
After adding sodium carbonate or sodium bisulfate,
wait two hours
before testing the water for pH. Measurements taken too
soon may not be accurate.
E. It is important to check the pH on a regular (weekly) basis. The pH will be affected by the bather load, the addition of new water,
the addition of various chemicals, and the type of sanitizer used.
F. When the pH is within the recommended range, proceed to the final step.

EVEL
A. Sanitizer is extremely important for killing algae, bacteria and viruses, and preventing unwanted organisms from growing in the
spa. At the same time, you don’t want too high a sanitizer level, or it can irritate your skin, lungs and eyes.
B. Always maintain the sanitizer level in your spa at the recommended level for each type of sanitizer.
C. Watkins recommends only the following sanitizers:
• Sodium Dichloro-s-Triazinetrione (Sodium Dichlor or Chlorine)
• Brominating Concentrate
™
(One Step Granular Bromine)
• Baqua Spa

WARNING:
DO NOT use tri-chlor chlorine, bromo-chloro-dimethyl-hydantoin (BCDMH), any type of compressed bromine or
chlorine, acid or any type of sanitizer which is not recommended by Watkins Manufacturing Corporation.
