INITIAL START UP PROCEDURES

(dosages are for 360 gallons (1620 litres) of water)

1.Use your test strips or test kit to test your fill water for total alkalinity to determine any water balance adjustments necessary. Total alkalinity is the key to water balance. Balance alkalinity first and then the PH.

WARNING

Make sure you dilute all chemicals with spa water before adding them to the spa. Adding full strength chemicals to the spa may damage the spa surface and will void the warranty.

2.When filling your spa with water, add STAIN & SCALE to protect your spa against staining and scale formation on the spa walls and on the heater element.

3.You must balance your water so that it is neither alkaline (scale forming) nor acidic (corrosive). Balanced spa water should be between 7.4 - 7.6 on the pH scale, with total alka- linity in the range of 125 - 150 ppm. Use pH INCREASE or pH DECREASE as needed to adjust the pH. Add alkalinity increaser to raise total alkalinity.

WARNING

Improper chemical maintenance can damage the spa surface and/or equipment, and will void the warranty.

4.Once your water has reached the set temperature, add your choice of sanitizer, bromine or chlorine. The importance of maintaining an adequate level of sanitizer in your spa can not be overemphasized. Warm water presents a fertile envi- ronment for the growth of bacteria and viruses. This growth is prevented when adequate sanitizer levels are continuous- ly maintained.
