Sears 831.105021 Never mix different chemicals, Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place

Additional chemicals can be purchased at a pool and spa supply store.

CAUTION: The chemicals used to maintain the pH balance of the water and to sanitize the water can be dangerous. Always follow these basic guide- lines when handling the chemicals:

1.Always read and follow the directions on the label, unless directed otherwise.

2.Never mix different chemicals.

3.Do not exceed the recommended amounts of chemicals—follow the directions on the label closely.

4.Keep all chemicals out of the reach of children and pets.

5.Keep all containers closed tightly when not in use.

6.Never add water to the chemicals—always add the chemicals to the water as directed.

7.Always store chemicals in a cool, dry place.

MAINTAINING THE PROPER PH BALANCE

The pH factor is a measure of relative acidity or alka- linity in the water. It is measured on a scale of 1 to 14. Pure water has a value of 7, which is neutral. Any value above 7 is alkaline, and any value below 7 is acidic. You should maintain a slightly alkaline pH level, between 7.2 and 7.8, in the hydrotherapy spa.

Severe problems can occur when the pH balance is not maintained within this range. If the pH level exceeds 7.8, dissolved minerals can build-up and clog the plumbing in the spa jet unit. If the pH level falls below 7.2, the acid level in the water will begin to cor- rode the metal parts in the spa jet unit. Also, the sani- tation agents in the water will not be effective if the pH level is not properly maintained. Damage caused by improper pH levels is not covered under the warranty.

To maintain the proper pH level, you should test the pH of the water regularly, using the included pH test kit. The pH reading should be between 7.2 and 7.8. If the level is too low, add a pH increaser (usually soda

ash). If the level is too high, add a pH reducer (usually sodium bisulfate). Test the water again after five min- utes. See the instructions with your pH test kit for addi- tional information about testing and adjusting the pH.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING THE ACCESS COVER
To locate the access cover, refer to the drawing on
page 6. Turn off the power to the spa. To remove the
access cover, first remove the four access cover
screws. Slide the access cover down and then pull
the bottom of it away from the spa.	Be careful not to
damage the spa shell as you remove the cover.

Screws

If the spa will be stored for any period of time, place the power cord inside the spa before re-attaching the access cover.

To reattach the access cover, insert the top of the cover under the edge of the spa shell. Slide the cover up until the bottom of the cover clears the trim along the bottom of the spa. Slide the cover into place and re-attach it with the two access cover screws.
