Shocking the Water

In addition to using a chemical sanitizer, you will periodically need to shock the water. Shocking the water helps remove burned-out chemicals, bacteria, and other organic material from your spa’s water and im- proves your sanitizer’s effectiveness.

Do not use chlorinating shock, which will damage your spa’s jets and pump seals. The only shock you should use is Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock. It is an easy way to maintain either chlorine or bromine chemical plans.

For best results use the directions below.

Add one ounce of Cal Spas Oxidizer Shock:

Once a week

After heavy bather loads

If water has a strong odor

Spa must be running with all of the jets on high for 30 minutes with the cover open. If necessary, repeat oxidizer shock in 30 minute intervals.

Chemical Safety

Read and follow all printed instructions listed on bottles and packages.. Failure to follow chemical directions may result in serious injury, sickness, or even death..

Do not exceed chemical dosages as recommended in the Clear Water Plan or on chemical bottles and packages.

Never change chemical brands or types without com- pletely draining, flushing and thoroughly cleaning the spa and cover first.

Never mix chemicals together.

Do not allow chemicals to come in contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Remove and wash clothing that may

have been exposed to chemical contact prior to wear- ing them again.

Inhaling or ingesting chemicals will cause serious in- jury, sickness, or even death.

Chemicals must be stored completely out of the reach of children in an area that is well vented, cool, and dry. Failure to provide a proper area for chemical storage may result in serious injury, sickness, fire ex- plosion and even death. Do not store your chemicals inside the equipment area of your spa.
