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.
WATER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Weekly
1.Sanitizer - check to insure sanitizer level is at the right range. Add sanitizer when necessary.
2.Add a sequestering agent to prevent scaling and staining.
3.Add a flocculent to spa water. This will quickly clean and brighten hazy, cloudy water caused by microcontaminants in the water that are too small for the filter to remove.
WARNING
Sanitizers such as Sodium
4.If you are using bromine or chlorine tablets, it is also rec- ommended to add a shock treatment on a fresh fill and week- ly thereafter. If the spa has had high use during the week, an additional shock treatment would be required.
*Note: When adding a shock treatment, please insure the spa cover is left off the spa at least 30 minutes, to allow the “gassing off” process. It also saves wear and tear on your spa cover.
5.You may occasionally need to use a small amount of ANTI FOAM to reduce foaming and sudsing should it occur. Soap residue will cause foaming - rinse out bathing suits well.
CONDUCTING PROPER WATER TESTS
1.Total alkalinity is the key to water balance. Always adjust total alkalinity first, and then pH.
