IMPORTANT
You must use either chlorine or bromine based chemicals. You may change from chlorine to bromine without emptying the tub. If you are changing from bromine to chlorine you then must empty the tub and start with fresh water. Never mix chlorine with bromine out of the water.
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 pH, total alkalinity to determine any water balance adjustments necessary.
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 SPA INCREASE (pH up) or SPA DECREASE (pH down) 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.
