HINTS FOR SUCCESSFUL WATER TESTING
When using the reagent test kit:
• Always take water samples 12”- 18” below the water surface.
• Rinse the test cells before and after each use.
• Do not dispose of test samples into the spa water.
• When adding drops of chemicals from the kit (the reagents) into the test block, hold the bottle vertically and add
the drops slowly to be sure the correct quantity is used.
• The reagents should be replaced on a yearly basis to maintain the accuracy of the test results.
When using either a calibrated test block or test strips, test comparisons should be made in natural light.
BASIC CHEMICAL SAFETY
When using chemicals, read the labels carefully and follow directions precisely. Though chemicals protect you and your
spa when used correctly, they can be hazardous in concentrated form. Always observe the following guidelines:
• Allow only a responsible person to handle spa chemicals. Keep them out of the reach of children.
• Accurately measure the exact quantities specified, never more. Do not overdose your spa.
• Handle all containers with care. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place.
• Always keep chemical containers closed when not in use. Replace caps on their proper containers.
• Don’t inhale fumes or allow chemicals to come in contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Wash your hands
immediately after use.
• Follow the emergency advice on the product label in case of accidental contact, or if the chemical is swallowed.
Call a doctor or the local Poison Control Center. If a doctor is needed, take the product container along so that the
substance can be identified.
• Don’t let chemicals get on surrounding surfaces or landscaping.
• Don’t use a vacuum cleaner to clean up chemical spills.
• Never smoke around chemicals. Some fumes can be highly flammable.
• Don’t store any chemicals in the spa equipment compartment.
HOW TO ADD CHEMICALS TO THE WATER
IMPORTANT: All spa water chemicals, including granulated dichlor, MPS, granulated pH increaser or decreaser,
granulated total alkalinity increaser, calcium hardness increaser, liquid stain and scale inhibitor, and liquid de-foamer must
always be added directly into the filter compartment while the jet pump is running in high speed mode, and it must run for
a minimum of ten minutes.
To Administer Spa Water Chemicals:
1. Fold back the cover. Carefully remove and set aside the filter compartment cover.
2. Push the JET button twice to turn the jet pump on in its high speed mode.
3. Carefully measure the recommended amount of chemical and slowly pour it into the filter compartment. Use care not
to splash chemicals on your hands, in your eyes, on the spa shell surface or on the siding.
4. Replace the filter compartment cover. After ten minutes, shut off the jet pump and close and lock the cover to
complete the procedure. Risk of Drowning: Never leave an open spa unattended!
WARNING: High sanitizer levels can cause discomfort to the user’s eyes, lungs and skin. Always allow the sanitizer level to
fall to the recommeded range before using the spa.
IMPORTANT “SUPER CHLORINATION/NON-CHLORINE SHOCK TREATMENT” NOTE: After administering a super
chlorination treatment or non-chlorine shock to your spa, leave the cover open for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the
oxidizer gas to vent. A high concentration of trapped oxidizer gas which may exist as a result of the shock treatment (not
daily sanitation) may eventually cause discoloration or vinyl degradation to the bottom of the cover. This type of damage is
considered chemical abuse and is not covered under the terms of the limited warranty.

PROGRAM
Following the Hot Spot
®
Spa program will save you time and frustration as well as ensure clear, clean spa water.
IMPORTANT: Each step in your water maintenance program is dependent on the completion of the previous steps.
Omitting a step or failing to reach the recommended range may cause an imbalance in your water’s chemistry.
Unbalanced water chemistry can damage the spa and its components as well as cause discomfort for the user.
