Traditional Chemical Start Up

Bromine Clear Water Plan

Prior to filling a spa for the first time, or after a routine draining, you will want to follow this start-up plan to extend water life and performance. If you are following either the Bromine or Chlorine “Clear Water Plans”, you will notice that both start-up processes are the same with the exception of Step 6. As with all chemical dosages listed in these “Clear Water Plans”, start-up dosages are intended for 500-gallon spas. Please adjust the chemical dosages to the capacity of your particular spa.

Start Up

1.Clean surface of spa with Cal Spas “Multi-Purpose Cleaner”.

2.Apply a protective coat of Cal Spas “Fast Sheen” to the acrylic surface.

3.Fill spa to proper water level with normal tap water (Do not use soft water)
