Spa water requires changing due to the buildup of soap in the water. Typically, soap will cause the spa water to foam when the jets are
used. Soap is introduced into the spa water from two sources: users’ bodies, which retain a soap residual after showering, and
swimming apparel, which retains soap after washing.
Foam inhibitors can suppress foam, but cannot remove soap from the water. Soap is very difficult to remove from the water because
soap is not oxidized by any chemical added to the spa. Only ozone can oxidize soap.
Eventually the soap build-up in the water will be concentrated, resulting in an unclean feeling on the bather’s skin which is impossible
to remedy. When this occurs, it’s time to drain and refill the spa. Depending on the soap input, the water should last about 4 months
before needing to be drained.

• DON’T use swimming pool (muriatic) acid to lower pH.
• DON’T splash pH increaser additives on the siding.
• DON’T use Compressed Sanitizers.
The use of bromine sticks or tablets in floaters, which may become entrapped in a lounge or cooling seat (or sink to the spa floor), have
been shown to cause discoloration of or surface distress to a spa’s shell.
• DON’T use a floater type sanitization system as a low or no maintenance solution to your spa maintenance program.
The spa shell easily can withstand the effects of a properly administered sanitizer. Floating dispensers can become trapped in one area
and cause an over-sanitization (or chemical burn) of that particular area.
If the dispenser setting is too high, the high concentration can discolor the spa shell and damage the underside of the cover.
Automatic floating dispensers have a tendency to either over-brominate or under-brominate as the rate of erosion varies greatly.
Damage to the spa and cover can occur very quickly.
WARNING: Watkins Manufacturing Corporation DOES NOT recommend the use of any floating chemical dispenser. Damage to the
spa shell or components caused by a floating chemical dispenser is specifically not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.
• DON’T use a sanitizer which is not designed for spas.
• DON’T use Household Bleach (liquid sodium hypochlorite).
